In One Cut of the Dead, what is the title of the zombie film being shot by the crew?

In One Cut of the Dead, the film being shot by the crew is also titled One Cut of the Dead.

Shin’ichirō Ueda’s 2017 Japanese comedy horror film begins with a seemingly continuous take at an abandoned water facility, where a director and actors film a low-budget zombie production. The story later reveals the circumstances behind that chaotic shoot and reframes many details seen earlier.

The movie is a film-within-a-film, and its production title matches the title used for the completed feature. That structure is central to the experience: viewers first see the apparent finished zombie scene, then learn about the crew’s problems, improvisations, and personal relationships.

The title is sometimes rendered as One Cut of the Dead in English-language releases and discussions. It is not the title of a fictional separate movie inside the story. The same name identifies both the Japanese feature and the zombie production made by its characters.
