Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Dazz Camponi The story takes place in a cottage located deep in the wilds of the Lake District, in which a group of friends have returned following a party. In this isolated retreat, the tired party-goers' nerves get the better of them. And soon they find that the urban legends they were dismissing only moments before, are becoming a horrific reality.Cut has made history in being the first ever movie to be filmed in one continuous take which is an achievement in itself, however this came at the expense of the movie. The story is non-existent which made the movie feel like stuff was just happening for no reason, it didn't answer any questions whatsoever. The acting was abysmal, especially from Danielle Lloyd, I've seen better acting at a five-year-old's nativity play. However, there was only one remotely good actor in the movie and that was Michael Socha, Zach Galligan was a surprise to see but even his acting talents isn't good in this terrible movie. The sound effects were a joke and the fight scenes were unrealistic. The characters were very badly written and the script is even worse. The worst thing about this movie is, without a doubt, it's audio. Sometimes you struggle to hear what the characters are saying but most of the time, you really didn't care. Also the music is abysmal, whenever there was going to be a tense scene, the music would suddenly erupt very loudly making it even harder to hear the characters. Also, the movie ended seriously bad, it could have been much better.I must applaud Cut simply because it was filmed in one take and I can appreciate the effort that must have gone into the camera-work but there really is nothing positive I can say about this movie. Everything about it was weak and nonsensical which is a shame because with a proper script, a better story and better sound editing, it could have been a good little movie. Another annoying thing about the movie is its poster. Model Danielle Lloyd is on the poster making us think that she's the main star in the movie when in fact, she was in it for less than five minutes, talk about misleading!

Drew Blanc Think of all the worst films you've ever watched. Think of all the thoughtless scripts, awful scores, flat humour, ugly cinematography and cringe-worthy acting you've ever witnessed. Pretty bad eh? Now, you might be ready to watch 'Cut'. A warning to you though, you'll still be disappointed. Unless, of course, you're the enemy of creativity or you're one of those people who hates film (like the team behind this surely do).The basic plot; it's late at night, a group of friends are staying in a remote house in the countryside and they get terrorised by some psychopaths. Admittedly, with a premise like that, you're not going to expect anything groundbreaking, but it's no excuse for this garbage.You don't care what happens to any of the characters. They're hollow, their interactions unbelievable and their actions stupid. If they're so scared why do they constantly put themselves in danger and leave doors unlocked or open? Ahh yes, to let the camera through of course! The acting is like something off a school stage, inexcusable.Talking of school plays, the script sounds like it could've been written by a gormless Year 11 pupil and his mates, with its forced attempts at humour and its facile, unconvincing conversational parts. It reeks of a lack of observation.The sound isn't any better. Much of the dialogue is drowned out by the brainless score and the daft attempts to 'scare' the audience with loud crashes when lights go on or off are, laughably, ridiculous.The 'one take' gimmick fails as miserably as everything else. It's boring. It doesn't deliver on the claustrophobic thrill ride that it was supposed to, quite the opposite in fact. The camera bumbles around the house, doors are left self-consciously open, the journey up and down the stairway becomes painful, supported by the shots of the clock that let us, the stupid audience, know that they really are doing it in one take! The second marketing gimmick, Danielle Lloyd, appears in the first 5 sickening minutes of the film and on the cover, 'nuff said. She's diabolical, but at least she sets the scene for next hour perfectly.Apparently this film isn't a joke. Hard to believe I know! You might be forgiven in thinking that it's all a bit tongue in cheek, maybe even a misguided attempt at satire, until you watch the DVD extras that is. This is where you'll be left in no doubt about its seriousness. They seem to be under the impression that they've created something worthwhile, something important and that they've served up some fresh new talent for us and for British cinema along the way.Watch them if you can stand it, but pass me a bucket.

DICK STEEL I have to admit I was enticed by the synopsis that mentioned the film was shot in one continuous take. The truth is most of it is, some 62 minutes worth of it, and that alone is reason enough if you buy into the gimmick. After all, you will have to put up with a curiously amateurish opening (done for a reason of course) that had some really deliberate bad acting just to get you into the mood for what's going to unravel, because the next action sequence won't turn up until half an hour later.Set primarily within and around the confines of a mansion, I felt the story was nothing to shout about, being but a narrative piece that seemed secondary to the technical aspects of the film. Written and directed by Alexander Williams, ample time got devoted to introducing the group of 6 characters one by one, and there were some really uninteresting dialogue going on that had me switching off in some parts as they were really going on talking about uneventful back stories, suffice to know that they are in the home of someone else's uncle, and the introduction also allowed us to have a first hand look into all the rooms, nooks and crannies that will be useful come later in the film.Basically, once we get past the introduction, things start to pick up. Suffice to say that our group somehow finds themselves terrorized by a group of clown face paint wearing thugs who are out for blood and will stop at nothing until everyone in the house is killed off. Equipped only with things found in the house and used as makeshift weapons, the narrative then unravels itself in real time as we are supposed to root for the individuals to get out of their predicament.Taking place pretty much like a stage play, one must salute the technical brilliance of the film, having shot most of it in one single take, and you can imagine the kind of logistical nightmare that presents itself should any one part just failed to make the grade, or someone was to miss the cue. Sure there could be other films already made which employed similar techniques, but to me, it is still a marvel to wonder at the sheer determination for anyone wanting to pull such a film off, and the countless amounts of time and dedication that went on behind the scenes (some as seen during the end credits) to ensure things get worked out to perfection.

noginogi This is a film bound to slice opinion, when you consider that apart from the opening 'film within a film' segment, the whole of CUT was filmed in one take!!! I didn't know this when I bought the film, I just figured it looked pretty cool, in fact it wasn't until a few minutes into the film that I noticed what was happening and I couldn't believe it. This is brave film making when you consider all the tried and tested horror film camera language they are sacrificing by shooting this way and in my opinion on the whole they pull it off. It's even got a few shocks! The plot doesn't smash any boundaries but hardly the point here. The actors all do extremely great jobs, with all round strong performances.Directors/Writers trying something different and having the bottle to go against the grain should always be applauded. Cut is to be both applauded and enjoyed, an excellent viewing experience. I very much recommend this to any and all genuine film fans out there.
