Cut was one of those films that surprised me from the very beginning. It's a movie about a group of students trying to remake a supposedly haunted horror film—essentially a movie within a movie. Sign me up!
The stylistic choice to give this film an '80s feel was ingenious. The characters were extremely likable and relatable, especially for those who aspire to make films and experience the trials and tribulations that come with it.
Towards the end of the second and into the third act, there are some remarkable kills that had a significant impact on me, largely because I connected with almost every character in the movie.
The only aspect that didn’t work for me was that I wished the killer had been portrayed differently. However, if that had happened, I feel the movie would have collapsed in on itself and lost some of its charm. So, calling it a negative isn’t entirely accurate; it’s more of a nitpick.
