'Masterpiece' zombie horror with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score now streaming
However the film comes with a warning for fans watching A 'masterpiece' zombie horror movie that earned a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes is now streaming with film fans urged to discover the little known title. Indie Japanese film One Cut of the Dead is now available on the streaming platform and is said to be quite unlike anything else viewers may have seen before. Released back in 2017, it was made for just 3 million Japanese Yen, which is approximately £15,000 yet managed to make more than £30 million at the box office worldwide. Audiences can now watch the film from the comfort of their own as it is available via Shudder. Users can subscribe to the platform directly or via an add-on subscription through Amazon Video. The film follows a film crew trying to make a zombie film for live television, that is supposed to be done in a single take. Recording in an abandoned WWII Japanese facility they are soon attacked by real zombies. However, it's release came with a warning from fans. An English subtitled cut of the trailer had a special message included at the beginning. It says: "One Cut of the Dead is being called 'the best zombie comedy since Shaun of the Dead.' It's full of hilarious surprises - some of which we are about to spoil. You should skip this trailer and go get your tickets instead." Avoiding being spoiled by anything regarding the film is a sentiment backed up by many fans and critics. While managing a perfect 100% rating on website Rotten Tomatoes, one critic claimed: "The less you know going into this masterpiece, the better. If you're going to watch a zombie movie, watch this zombie movie." Another added: "One of the smartest, funniest, and sweetest zombie movies you will ever see." While someone else penned: "One Cut of the Dead is easily an instant genre classic that renews my hope for zombie films with its triumphant story of one family united in their struggle against the undead." Viewers should be rewarded if they manage to go in with little expectations as one person said: "Just when I thought I couldn't possibly find something new in a zombie movie, One Cut of the Dead comes along and completely upends my expectations of the genre." Its a sentiment backed up by horror movie fans, as one sharing their thoughts online, posted: "You really should know very little about this movie before watching, so all I'll say is that it's joyful to watch. Also, watch it with others. Non zombie fans will love it too." Some also offer up a second warning for those looking to watch the film. That is to remain patient when watching. As one person explained: "If you haven't seen it, I refuse to tell you anything about it. This is a movie that you have to go in blind for in order to get the full effect. And whatever you do - STICK WITH IT. You will have the urge to turn it off during the first 30 minutes - but DON'T. "You will be so happy that you didn't and be greeted to one of the better movie experiences that you've had in awhile. It's unique, hilarious, extremely clever, and had me genuinely happy after it ended." One Cut of the Dead is streaming on Shudder.

Resistance, poetry and bullets: Films for liberation day
Three films exploring resistance, sacrifice and the fight for freedom during Japan's colonial rule Come Aug. 15th in South Korea, national flags flutter from apartment balconies while ceremonies fill the airwaves. It's Gwangbokjeol — Liberation Day — marking Korea's freedom from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule in 1945. For a country that endured forced labor, cultural suppression and the horrors of wartime mobilization, the day brings out a distinct national pride. So what better way to mark the occasion than with Korean cinema's take on this dark yet defiant era? These three films, spanning from intimate poetry to pulpy espionage, offer windows into how ordinary people became extraordinary under the occupation. Director Lee Joon-ik ("The King and the Clown," "The Throne") strips away his usual period drama bombast for something more solemn and devastating. Shot in black and white, this biographical film follows poet Yun Dong-ju during his final years under Japanese rule, when writing in Korean itself became an act of rebellion. The film unfolds through flashbacks as Dong-ju (Kang Ha-neul) faces interrogation by Japanese authorities. We watch his evolution from an idealistic student to a young man caught between artistic expression and political reality. His cousin Song Mong-gyu (Park Jung-min), a fiery revolutionary, pulls him toward active resistance, while Dong-ju struggles with whether poetry alone can serve his country. This isn't your typical resistance drama — it trades heroics for restraint. Lee and screenwriter Shin Yeon-shick let the weight of the era accumulate through telling details: the moment Korean becomes a forbidden language, the pressure to adopt Japanese names, the way even studying literature requires moral compromise. Kang Ha-neul, better known for lighter commercial fare, delivers a remarkably nuanced performance, especially as Dong-ju's poems are recited aloud against the backdrop of the brutal reality that inspired them. Neither pure heroism nor violent resistance offers clear-cut answers here. When Dong-ju and Mong-gyu finally reunite in a Japanese prison, the revelation lands with quiet devastation. It's a portrait of how oppression crushes not just bodies but spirits, and how art endures even when the artist doesn't. Available with English subtitles on Amazon Video. "The Age of Shadows" (2016) If "Dongju" whispers, Kim Jee-woon's espionage thriller roars. Set in the 1920s, this lavish cat-and-mouse game follows colonial police captain Lee Jung-chool (Song Kang-ho) as he navigates the treacherous space between his Japanese employers and Korean freedom fighters. The film opens with a bravura sequence. Freedom fighters flee across moonlit rooftops while Japanese forces swarm over the buildings in pursuit. It sets the tone for what follows: two hours of double-crosses, shifting allegiances and gripping set pieces that recall everything from Carol Reed to Alfred Hitchcock. Song, reliably excellent, plays a man whose moral compass spins wildly as he engages in increasingly high-stakes deception. The director never lets clarity get in the way of momentum — you might lose track of who's betraying whom, but the sheer craft keeps you engaged. Also, at 140 minutes, it's deliberately maximalist, but that's part of the appeal. "The Age of Shadows" is blockbuster craftsmanship at its most audacious -- Kim shoots even throwaway dialogue scenes with the intensity of climactic confrontations. The Japanese characters may strike as cardboard cutout villains, but when the filmmaking is this assured, nuance takes a backseat to pure cinematic pleasure. Available with English subtitles on Apple TV and Prime Video. "Assassination" (2015) Choi Dong-hoon's sprawling adventure walks the tightrope between historical gravitas and popcorn entertainment. Set primarily in 1933, the height of Japanese occupation, it follows an agent from Korea's Shanghai-based provisional government who assembles three specialists — including sniper Ahn Ok-yun (Jun Ji-hyun) — to eliminate a Japanese commander and a Korean collaborator in Seoul. The plot quickly spirals into delicious complexity, with hired hitmen targeting the assassins, turncoats revealing their true colors, and a separated-at-birth subplot that somehow doesn't derail everything. Choi stages it all with real gusto, making good use of spectacles ranging from an explosive ambush at a gas station to a wedding that erupts into gunfire instead of bouquets. Jun Ji-hyun, also known as Gianna Jun, one of Korean entertainment's most bankable stars, brings steel to her role as the sharpshooting Ahn. The film surrounds her with colorful supporting players, including Ha Jung-woo as a suave contract killer and Lee Jung-jae as a slippery double agent whose loyalties shift like quicksand. At $16 million, it's clear as day that "Assassination" was built as a crowd-pleaser, and it shows in both the lavish period recreation and the occasionally broad emotional beats. Regardless of its commercial ambitions, when the film clicks — which is often — it delivers the kind of old-fashioned Saturday matinee thrills rarely seen in Korean cinema anymore. It's unabashedly commercial, but executed with enough style to sustain its formula.

A salute to Leslie Nielsen, the real Naked Gun
There's a moment in the 1980 comedy Airplane!—one of the funniest films of all-time, available to rent on Amazon Video—where a worried passenger says, 'Surely, you can't be serious," and Leslie Nielsen, as the doctor on board, retorts without the twitch of a muscle: 'I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." It's possibly the most quoted joke in spoof history, and the magic of the moment isn't in the line itself. It's in the look. That straight face. That poker-stiff voice. That impossibly grave delivery of a ridiculous line, uttered by a man with all the solemnity of Shakespearean tragedy. Leslie Nielsen didn't wink. That, dear reader, is precisely what made him hilarious. Nielsen passed away in 2010 after a hilarious career, highlighted by the Naked Gun films. As a Naked Gun reboot comes to theatres this week (with Oscar-winning actor Liam Neeson stepping into Nielsen's shoes) it's a good time to doff a cap to this high priest of absurdity. Nielsen's performances were riddled with misunderstandings, malapropisms, and magnificent misuse of metaphor, yet he never broke character. Nielsen acted like he was in 12 Angry Men even when he was drinking urine samples by mistake, or bumbling around in Dracula: Dead And Loving It. He didn't play funny. He was funnier because he didn't know he was funny. Before Airplane!, Nielsen played square-jawed leads in B-movies and solemn guest-stars on TV procedurals. If casting directors needed a stoic face, they called Nielsen. Which is precisely what Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker did. In Airplane!, the ZAZ team (as they'd come to be known) set out to parody the overly sincere disaster films of the 1970s. Instead of hiring comedians, they recruited dramatic actors with reputations for seriousness. Nielsen, as the gravely concerned Dr. Rumack, delivered lines about "a passenger who had fish for dinner" with such terrifying urgency that you could be forgiven for thinking this was high-stakes drama. Airplane! was a tonal earthquake. The blockbuster reinvented spoof comedy, shifting the form from broad gags to rapid-fire absurdism layered so thick that repeat viewings were essential. And Nielsen was at the centre of it all, the knight who never let the court know he had mislaid his horse. He was 54 when he did Airplane!, and the rest of his career was about to get improbably, gloriously, silly. If Airplane! was a revelation, The Naked Gun trilogy was scripture. Spun off from a short-lived ZAZ television show called Police Squad!, the Naked Gun films (all three of which are streaming in India on Netflix) captured the Airplane! spirit, and merrily went overboard. Nielsen stars as Frank Drebin, an improbably all-conquering police lieutenant with the absurd idiocy of Inspector Clouseau. He was a man out of time, out of touch, and frequently out of pants. In the 1988 film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, Drebin attempts to comfort the widow of a colleague and says earnestly, 'Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes." It's a joke so wrong, so politically incorrect, and yet so perfectly aligned with the utter cluelessness of the character. Nielsen kills it. Like Shakespeare's Polonius, he's never in on the joke, and that's what makes it eternal. In The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991), Drebin is part of this exchange: 'Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?" Jane: 'He's Caucasian." Drebin: 'Caucasian??" Jane: 'Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three." Drebin: 'Awfully big moustache." The gag is in the rhythm, in the misunderstanding, in the blind confidence of a man who assumes nothing could ever be his fault. Nielsen doesn't break character for a second, even as the entire frame crumbles around him. In The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994), he reminisces about lost love: 'She had a tear in her eye, a glint in her teeth, a bug up her nose, and a bee in her bustle." It's an absurd line that Nielsen recites with the gravitas of a poetry professor. The Naked Gun films are masterclasses in timing, in repetition, in throwing everything at the wall and letting Nielsen's gravity give it coherence. He was the axis around which the absurd revolved. And it wasn't just that Nielsen could land a line; he could underplay a pratfall, understate a catastrophe. His comedic superpower was restraint. What made Leslie Nielsen so unique was that he played not to the audience, but against them. While everyone else mugged and gurned, Nielsen remained resolute, the man who insisted this wasn't funny. The joy was in watching him flail so confidently that it looped around into triumph. He weaponised seriousness, making it his ultimate punchline. In today's meta-saturated landscape, where everyone is a little too self-aware, Nielsen's brand of humour feels almost radical. His characters weren't winking at us. They were begging to be taken seriously, even as they tumbled through pianos, exploded in labs, or accidentally mooned the Queen of England. Spoof, in its finest form, is a magic trick. Leslie Nielsen was the magician who never showed us the rabbit: only a very confused man who mistook the rabbit for a hat and offered it a cigarette. He was, surely and sincerely, sublime. Just don't call him Shirley. Streaming tip of the week: One of the best recent spoofs is Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, available for rent on Amazon Video. In this 2016 film the comedian Andy Samberg plays a wonderfully daft former-boyband star who has gone on to become solo. It's all a bit Spinal Tap, and sometimes the autotune even gets to eleven. Raja Sen is a screenwriter and critic. He has co-written Chup, a film about killing critics, and is now creating an absurd comedy series. He posts @rajasen.

Netflix, Disney & Amazon subscription hacks for at-home film days this summer that'll save you £850 on TV & cinema trips
WHO can afford full-price trips to the cinema these days? You need a mortgage just for the popcorn – never mind posh seat upgrades for the whole family. Thankfully there are loads of ways to slash the cost of at-home movie days this summer, potentially saving you hundreds on bills and trips to the cinema. The other bonus is: you can make your own snacks! 9 Disney+ is perfect for at-home movie days – especially if you can slash the cost Credit: Disney+ 9 The app is brimming with kid-friendly content, from Bluey to Spiderman – and there's plenty for adults, too Credit: Disney+ TV TRICK #1 – GET YOURSELF FREE DISNEY+ If you're looking for family-friendly flicks, you can't go wrong with Disney+. It's crammed with Disney originals, plus Star Wars and Marvel goodness too. This is Hollywood in app form. You needn't pay the full £8.99 a month (that's £108 a year!) either. If you're a Lloyds Bank customer with a Club Lloyds current account, you can get free Disney+ for a full year. The account is £5 a month (or free if you put at least £2,000 a month into it). And you can claim a Disney+ Standard with Ads membership, getting you Full HD viewing and two streams at once. Tesco shoppers with Clubcards can get a tempting Disney+ perk that doubles the value of your vouchers if you spend them on the streaming service. So you can swap £7.50 in Clubcard vouchers for a three-month Disney+ Standard With Ads subscription (usually £14.97) – or trade £13.50 in vouchers for a £26.97 Standard three-month plan. You'll find it in the My Rewards section of your Clubcard. And if you're on the O2 network, you can get a free six-month membership to Disney+ Standard – and once that's over, you can add it to your plan as a paid extra and get £2 a month back as a discount on your airtime bill. Potential Saving: £107.88 a year TV TRICK #2 – SLASH YOUR AMAZON VIDEO BILL Amazon Prime Video is chock full of quality movies – and it's home to the wildly popular Clarkson's Farm too. You're throwing away money on Netflix – I found three common mistakes sending your bill soaring but the fixes are easy But if you're paying the £8.99 fee for Amazon Prime just to watch Amazon Video, there are some The most obvious discount is paying upfront for an annual £95 membership, versus the monthly option that ends up costing you £107.88. Alternatively, you could simply pay for Amazon Video on its own. You'll lose the other Prime benefits , but it shrinks your bill to £5.99 a month – that's £71.88 over a year. If you've got a student or young person in the house, you're in luck. There's a cheap membership called . That covers a massive chunk of Brits, so you might have someone who fits the bill at home. It'll get you Amazon Prime for £4.49 a month (£53.88 a year), or just £47.49 if you pay the annual membership instead. And if that wasn't enough, this discounted Amazon Prime also comes with a mammoth six-month free trial. That's far longer than the usual 30-day option. So in your first year, you'd only be paying £23.75. Prime monthly (£8.99 monthly) – £107.88 a year Prime annual – £95 a year Prime Video (£5.99 monthly) – £71.88 a year Prime 18-22/student (£4.49 monthly) – £53.88 a year Prime 18-22/student annual – £47.49 a year Prime 18-22/student monthly + six-month free trial – £26.94 for first year Prime 18-22/student annual + six-month free trial – £23.75 for first year Potential Saving: £84.13 a year 9 Amazon Prime Video has a massive library of premium content Credit: Amazon TV TRICK #3 – CHECK IF YOU'RE OVERPAYING FOR NETFLIX Can you believe that when Netflix launched in the UK in 2012, it only cost £5.99 a month? Now a Standard plan is more than double that – and Premium is over three times the price. But these layers of membership create an opportunity: The first common mistake is paying for a 4K plan when you don't need it. The Premium plan costs £18.99 in the UK, and its big perk is 4K telly (of which Netflix has plenty). But there's every chance you're not watching Netflix on a 4K Ultra HD TV. Many televisions don't have 4K screens, which makes a 4K plan fairly pointless . And if you're using an Amazon Fire Stick, Roku box, or some other streaming gadget, that ALSO needs to be 4K too – or you won't get a 4K picture. Sadly, many aren't, especially if you bought a cheaper model. On top of that, most tablets and phones don't have 4K screens, and on the tiny displays, 4K is even less important. So consider downgrading to Standard at £10.99, saving you £96 a year. It's the same library of content, but your streaming drops to Full HD – which is fine for most people. Secondly, don't ignore the newer and far cheaper Standard with Ads plan, which is only £5.99 a month. You still get Full HD resolution just like Standard, but your viewing will be interrupted by ads. 9 Think about the device you're watching Netflix on – do you really need the Premium plan? Credit: Netflix Compared to a Premium plan, you'll save a massive £156 a year this way. Potential Saving: £156 a year Mission Unaffordable! The blockbuster cost of family cinema trips It used to be a go-to activity during the school summer holidays but the rising cost of cinema tickets has priced many families out. A typical 2D adult ticket can range from £8 to £12, with children's tickets often slightly cheaper. Special screenings for 3D or IMAX movies cost more. Some cinemas also add on a booking fee, which can see the price soar. Cinema snacks and drinks can easily set you back £15 to £20. With film-branded, limited-edition food (as seen at recent Minecraft screenings) potentially costing more. Add on a few pounds for parking or transport and you've easily spent between £60 and £100 on a couple of hours out. TV TRICK #4 – SWAP YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS One of the biggest telly mistakes we all make is paying for every subscription under the sun. If you're a TV fan, you might be forking out for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Video, Apple TV+, Now TV, and who knows what else. Stop it now – and Cancel everything but just keep one subscription, and then binge on that for a month. Now kill it off and move onto a second plan, and enjoy that app's library for another month. Do this with two more apps and then repeat the process. Now you're back at the first app with some fresh content to watch. 9 You probably don't need a full year of Prime Video – or any TV app, for that matter Credit: Amazon You'll get to enjoy each of the app's content all through the year, but without paying out a fortune. Let's say you paid for Netflix Premium (£18.99), Disney+ Standard (£8.99), Amazon Video without Prime (£5.99), and Apple TV+ (£8.99). With all four of those running for a year, your bill would come to £515.52 over the course of a year. If you used subscription swapping, that would drop to just £128.88. That's a saving of £386.64. You're paying exactly a quarter of what you would've spent. And you don't miss out on any top movies or shows either. Potential Saving: £386.64 a year Subscription swapping saved me a fortune and the kids loved it Fabulous' Associate Editor Sarah Barns tested subscription swapping with her two sons, aged three and five. Unsurprisingly, asking my two sons to binge watch Netflix for a month was a task they took to with gusto. We made our way through all the Hotel Transylvania, Paddington and Minions films before I cancelled the subscription (£5.99 a month with ads) and we moved on to Disney+ (£8.99, no ads). Then, we watched the classics - Frozen, Moana and Toy Story - as well as family favourite TV shows, Bluey and Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Finally, we ditched that and moved onto Amazon Prime (£5.99 a month, just for Prime Video). Here, we watched The Lorax, Secret Life of Pets and Sing. This streamer was probably our least favourite and I found that shows the kids wanted to watch, including the Julia Donaldson adaptions, were already available for free on BBC iPlayer. I'd definitely keep rotating Netflix and Disney+, and would be up for giving Apple TV a go. It was fairly faff-free to cancel and rejoin the services and we found that new shows and films had been added while we weren't members. TV TRICK #5 – CUT YOUR APPLE TV+ COST It may be a newer option, but Apple TV+ is now a streaming titan, with hit shows like Severance and Ted Lasso – plus a load of top movies too. The regular free trial is only seven days and then you'll pay £8.99 a month. But there are four other ways to 9 Millions of Brits might be able to claim heavily discounted (and even free) Apple TV+ Firstly, if you've bought an Apple device recently – specifically a new , iPad , Apple TV , or Mac computer – then you can claim three months of free Apple TV+. Just head into the Apple TV app on the device itself and you'll see the offer just waiting for you there. It needs to be on that device, and signed into your Apple ID. Second, students can get Apple TV+ via a separate promotion. If you're enrolled at a "degree-granting" uni then you can get Apple Music Student, which gets you the Spotify rival for £5.99 (instead of £10.99) for up to 48 months. And this subscription also includes a free membership to Apple TV+ for the same time. Just go to Apple Music > Home > Trial Offer > Student > Verify Eligiblity. A third option is to go through Apple One, which wraps up iPhone services as a bundle and then discounts them. All of the Apple One plans boost your iCloud storage (for backing up your iPhone media), plus give you access to perks like hiding your email and using 9 You can also use Family Sharing to make your household bills come down Credit: Apple The cheapest Apple One plan is £18.95 and includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade, saving you £9 a month overall. You can also bundle in Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, and add 2TB of cloud storage (plus sharing with five family members) for £36.95 a month. This saves you £27.99 a month. The last option is to try Family Sharing, which means only one person in your home needs to pay for Apple TV+. "One adult in your household – the family organiser – invites your family members," Apple explains. "When family members join, they get instant access to the group's content and subscriptions that are eligible to be shared. "Each family member uses their own account, so everyone's experience stays personalised and private." That'll save you money at home if you've got multiple family members splashing out on the subscription. And don't worry: they all get their own profiles. Potential Saving: £107.88 a year TV TRICK #6 – DON'T PAY FOR TELLY! 9 The Roku Channel is just one of many free apps that serve up no-cost ad-supported telly Credit: Roku What's better than cheap telly?

Jeremy Clarkson makes brutally honest admission about farming amid money woes
Jeremy Clarkson has been sharing his thoughts about his farm - Diddly Squat - and the financial outlook for the year, as he revealed he could make more money selling his toenail clippings Jeremy Clarkson has revealed the stark reality of farming, despite the roaring success of his Amazon Prime show Clarkson's Farm. The motoring icon turned agriculture aficionado, who has won hearts with his ventures on the farm in the currently streaming fourth season of the series, confessed that the acclaim of the show doesn't equate to a flourishing farm business. Speaking frankly to a fan, Jeremy didn't shy away from laying bare the grim status of his farming endeavours and hinted he could be pocketing more dosh doing just about anything else. His forthright admission follows his recent analogy that likened farmers to miners, describing them both as 'pawns for politicians'. He even joked that selling something completely different might prove more lucrative than his farming efforts. Clarkson's unfiltered comments were sparked by a viewer who commended Clarkson's Farm for its entertainment value but insinuated it was merely a fiscal bandage for the losses incurred by the farm. The viewer had remarked: "Have watched all of the series, they're quite entertaining. But, please don't try to tell me he earns more from farming than from Amazon Video". Jeremy hit back with his typical candour: "I could earn more from selling my toe nail clippings than farming. And I have a horrible feeling that this year will be worse than ever." However, the former Top Gear presenter isn't one to rest on his laurels; he's actively exploring ideas to attract visitors to his farm, such as an "outdoor cinema" concept he floated earlier in May. Jeremy Clarkson has hinted at the possibility of bringing an outdoor cinema experience to his farm, following a fan's suggestion on social media. The fan proposed: "Why don't you put a big screen projector TV on your farm and make picnic baskets of your produce or allow people to have picnics using local produce and encourage food trucks etc. Bring back the outdoor cinema for sunset screenings. It's so fun." To which Clarkson replied with interest: "Been talking about that very thing today." This tease comes as opinions are split over the cost of fare at The Farmer's Dog, the pub owned by the TV personality. A detractor commented on the pricing: "Thought Jeremy Clarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Clarkson, ever ready for a retort, offered a witty response: "Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job." The original poster later expressed their confusion about current fair pricing: "To be honest I wouldn't know what is a decent price anymore. Constantly changing." Another individual added a touch of humour: "It ain't Wetherspoons, pal." On the flip side, a content diner praised the establishment: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!".
