It follows a director making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies. Hazanavicius milks the film's hilarious and meta-to-the-max premise for all it's worth, while also crafting a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking. What's on-screen unfolds in typical cheesy B-movie fashion, while the off-screen hijinks offer a celebration of the unpredictable and collaborative nature of film sets.
