CUT

A group of students tries to complete a horror film whose production was interrupted years earlier due to the mysterious murder of the director. When the students return to the mysterious place where the filming began, the killer comes back... Practically not released in Italian theaters, this slasher movie, the result of an Australian-American co-production, comes out directly on video. Unfortunately, after a good start (rather original and "violent"), the film gradually loses its way, falling into the usual clichés of genre films to end up in a banal and disappointing finale. The positive aspect is the presence of some splatter scenes (amputated heads, severed fingers, slit throats); the negative aspect is the choice to create a killer who, in the first part of the film, strongly resembles Michael Myers from Halloween (blue suit, white mask, and slow, inexorable walk) but who, in the end, "transforms" into a kind of latest-model Freddy Krueger (the one from "Nightmare 4" onwards, for those who understand) who, before killing his victims, exchanges dialogues with them based on unlikely jokes. The mad assassin of "Cut" therefore fails to have a precise identity, making him unconvincing and, worse still, not "scary," thus ruining the entire film. What a pity!
