In an abandoned building, a low-budget zombie film is falling apart on set. The abusive director is already pushing the cast and crew to the brink with his obnoxious behavior, when he reveals his plan to inject energy and excitement into the project: unlocking a real-life ancient zombie curse. In a frenetic long sequence shot in which body parts and fluids are flying, the actors fight the undead, and their director, for their lives, before the film comes to a shocking conclusion. Opening gala at Cannes Film Festival 2022.
