Final Cut
Short description
A low-budget horror film crew struggles to maintain order during a shoot in an abandoned building. While the director attempts to manage an unprofessional cast and technical failures, the production is interrupted by the arrival of actual zombies. This causes the crew to struggle to differentiate between the scripted movie and a real invasion of the undead.
Directed and written by Michel Hazanavicius, this movie followed The Lost Prince (2020) and preceded The Most Precious of Cargoes (2024) in his filmography. The cast features Romain Duris and Bérénice Bejo, supported by Grégory Gadebois, Finnegan Oldfield, Matilda Lutz, and Raphaël Quenard. The production involved 86 credited crew members and 24 credited actors.
Financially, the film earned 2 million USD worldwide against a budget of 4 million USD. Audience reception is generally positive, with a 6.7 rating on TMDB from 486 votes and a 6.3 rating on IMDb from 5,600 votes. These scores are slightly higher than the 6.1 rating provided by film critics based on 76 reviews.
