In a disused factory, a Z-grade horror film shoot is in full swing. Jaded technicians, uninvolved actors… only the director seems to possess the necessary energy to give life to this umpteenth low-budget zombie movie. During the preparation of a particularly difficult shot, filming is disrupted by an eruption of the real living dead. In front of the camera, everything looks more-or-less normal. Behind it, the crew is freewheeling to save the film while following their one and only watchword: DON’T CUT! (Cannes Film Festival)

After an awkward first few minutes, the following "one take" half hour turned into a pretty good time once I accepted that this was one big meme and a pure troll fun movie. But once the film moves on and tries to be sort of serious after the light-hearted first half hour, there's a problem. From then till the end it's a dragging borefest without any likeable scene, character or humour. Add to that a French dubbing and English subtitles where all the lines get lost in translation and don't make much sense, a second-rate unambitious script and disaster is in store. If the whole film was set in the original spirit, it would have made it to a weaker average, but as it is, it's unbelievable rubbish, where I don't understand what it is trying to tell the viewer and most of all I'm surprised that it even made it to cinemas...
