When I saw the excellent ratings and reviews for this movie I was quite excited about seeing it as I haven't seen a good horror in a while. After just 5 minutes into the film I couldn't believe I was watching the same movie as all the other reviewers that had given it 10 stars.

The acting was soooo bad, the plot was terrible and after about 25 minutes I started to fast forward to see if I was imagining it. No I wasn't, every time I pressed play all I got was the same crappy acting and the same annoying characters that I did in the first 5 minutes.

I would like to see more HONEST reviews about this movie on here just to prove to me it's not me who is losing it and it is in fact the awful film. If it continues to get 10 stars from every quarter then I will try and watch it again to see what I missed!

I felt ashamed by the end of the movie. I thought the actors were doing a spoof of terrible indie movies. This one wanted to be a horror movie, but I can only see it scaring a timid 8 year old in 1991. Such horrible acting and a script that is just so awful make this a very painful experience to sit through. I felt as though I was marking a student's film that they did in lieu of a thesis.

Nobody is convincing. Black guy is not scary just because he is black. Prostitutes from Degrassi Jr High. Lead actors are terribly ugly and really deserved a good scalping. I will bring my score up to 5/10 if it's revealed that the cast really did all die in real life.

This movie is really bad. The high points probably comes from cast and crew conducting some sort of pre-internet-release internet-campaign. Kudos to them and well done. You fooled me!

The acting is pretty bad, the editing is actually okay but the script/story and directing is just infantile. It's like a less-than-bright adolescent wrote the script, trying to sort of copy the gist of other horror movies, not paying any attention to details or believability of characters or story-progression. It's just a big mess, to sum it up in one sentence. The music was really good though... but probably because it was taken from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

I found paying attention to this tiresome and a challenge, a challenge I apparently could not conquer cause I'm pretty sure a spent more time daydreaming than being entertained by this film. The acting was average for a low budget and I am not reviewing to actor bash and I think the actors were fine and it was just the dialog they were handed along with the execution as a whole that just built no suspense to allow viewers to connect to the characters or the film as a whole. It simply failed to pull me in. With that said I thought perhaps it was just my mood so I took a second attempt and my opinion hasn't changed. The fake reviews on here are so misleading, no way people are giving this a 10 star unless involved in the film themselves which is sad because if the film was at all descent it would get 5-6 star average on it's own which for the horror genre is good on here and rating this a 10 star isn't gonna magically make the movie good, if anything it raise expectations and leaves viewers even more disappointed than they originally would be after watching.

I opened an IMDb account especially to warn people from this waste of time.

All the rest of the reviews are by the cast and makers of the film. Actually calling it a film is doing the cinema wrong, it really is more like a student film. A bad, long, boring student film you just wished you haven't watched.

If you love the Horror Genre, I invite you to write an honest review as well (after trying to see the movie of course) just so other fans wouldn't have to go through the disappointment of finding out this movie's rating (7.4 at the time this review was written) is misleading.

I didn't manage to get through the first half an hour. Those who can, please contact your doctor. You have Alzheimer.

I saw this movie for the first time during it's second weekend premiere with a group of friends. I'm never "scared" by movies, but I do enjoy analyzing and deducing what might happen in a thriller like this. I was able to divine the main plot twist through subtle character choices and dialogue hints. But what I liked most of all? That there was a twist I didn't catch. I was pleasantly surprised and even more impressed by the writing and acting.

Not sure why a lot of people are dumping on this film? It has a unique cinematic style that isn't cookie cutter like 90% of other horror/thrillers, and I love that it's super Hollywood and meta. Maybe people got butt-hurt because they didn't see the true twist at the end of the film? I really didn't see anything not to like.

But I guess that's the thing about human perception, fascinating and so drastically polarizing at times. I'd watch this film again just to pick up on the clues I missed the first time around.

I also was excited about this movie because of the early reviews. Horrible, horrible movie. It was so bad, but I just put my finger on the reason why. I recommend watching this movie so you can see exactly what I mean. It seems to me that the early positive reviews of this movie were from people that are associated with it in some way, maybe just to hype it up. The film quality was poor, the acting was poor and the storyline was, well, there wasn't much of a storyline. I was waiting for that breakout moment when everything would come together, but that never came. I was angry that I was duped into watching this movie based on the outstanding early reviews given by some users of this website. I can't say much more than that.

At first glance - a normal low-budget film in a genre almost-Horror. But I do not recommend, based on a stupid and primitive violence. In addition, if the horror is not scary, it is disgusting and it is already - not really a horror film. The plot is almost non-existent in it, the script is sucked from the finger.

What could be a plus, namely the ability to be rented for $ 300 a film turned out to be a minus. The movie was filmed in such a way, that is not much interested in the viewer .. NOT intriguing nothing at all, except to inflict physical harm or kill someone. What makes this creation, disgusting product, but unbecoming to view. Degraded- layer emulsion.

The director, of course, has its own style *, but the potential for its development is limited to primitive violence, because he * only on this reasonable. The very same film about mediocrity persons, who do not make sense as shooting is not something that horror, and anything at all, and doing terrible things on the way to his 1st movie - this is their horror, in fact about the film itself.

Cut so that with a certain probability may be able to tighten the film fans, until the end of viewing, but The usual bold viewer will want to turn off after 5 + minute (if not sooner, then later)

It's rare I find a thriller/horror film that wraps me in and keeps me enticed. CUT! brings you a clever, smart, witty and entertaining horror flick that will leave you guessing all the way through. Brilliant performance from David Banks in the lead and David Rountree is equally as captivating. Rountree leaves an impressive directorial mark with excellent casting and superb performances. Locations, shot selection, and scene choices came together very well allowing the story to unfold with a stylistic classy touch. The score and post effects were spot on and we all know so much of a good horror flick relies on great audio. CUT! shows you that amazing work can be done with the right people, the right attitude, the right planning and a little bit of capitol.

I watched this movie on VOD with my boyfriend and here are my honest female perspective thoughts, take them for what they are:

Cut is a very good thriller (I rated an 8) that pays close attention to the detail in the story telling adventure. It is a very smart story that poses as something that seems overly generic at times in the beginning, but is, in actuality, far from it. Once we realize what is really going on, it all makes sense and I felt infantile and silly for not seeing it coming. The movie does not spoon feed the audience with the obvious and assumes there is a level of intelligence in the viewer, which I really appreciate.

Yes, I wish a few of the ideas had been developed a bit more, but most movies have that flaw. And for a lower budget (I'm guessing under a million), the acting is solid and the stylistic imagery is well done. If you are looking for a true horror movie with excessive blood and guts, you may be disappointed, but I don't think that is what this movie is meant to be. When we get to the end, the choice of the visual style all makes sense and is rather brilliant.

In response to some of the posts here and on other movies, it's quite sad how some people just have to say nasty things just to say them. Maybe it makes them feel important, not sure. Some get into a debate over silly things which have no foundational value at all, but these are probably the same people who were bullies in high school and now have nothing better to do.

It seems that the bad reviews here all say similar things about only watching a few minutes then skipping around. It's quite a shame that you chose to judge something before seeing it all the way through, but maybe you were just looking for a gore fest of obligatory images of blood and boobs.

Cut is very well done and definitely worth a watch, but you have to be smart enough to put it together.

Stars : Suze Lanier-Bramlett and Gabrielle Stone.

Write,Directed by : David Banks,David Rountree.

Think you watching something you might have watched before,OH NO You haven't,This film takes those SOV reality based whodunnits to the raw nerve.

Great cast who are oh, so believable and with some star talent like Suze and Gabrielle ( Who breaks a fourth wall rule with character,That 'Scream' series attempted and here CUT ! succeeds).

OK,There is a killer, ' Duh', But writing that isn't a spoiler,Believe this critic, Please.

The quality of filming techniques is apparent from beginning,The cast & crew know how to tell a complex,scary tale and yet,Was it a tale ?

Kudos to Director David Rountree on delivering a brilliantly directed and crafted thriller full of surprises! Co-written together by Rountree (Travis Simon) and David Banks (Lane Hayes), this is not your usual slasher horror film, but instead is more of a thinker-mystery type psychological thriller/horror who-done-it, with some comedic moments (yes, there's comedy), but don't let that sway your thinking that this isn't a serious thriller movie. And right when you think you've got it figured out, you realize you don't have anything figured out... CUT! is full of surprises, twists and angles, sure to feed your thrill-seeking soul clear up to the very end! .... or, is it the end? Great cast! Great directing! Brilliant script! You must definitely put CUT! on your watch list!

I LOVED this movie!! This was a great thriller! I had to see this movie multiple times!! I do not wanna say anything as far as the movie goes....but it is mind blowing!! I was all over the place with who I was thinking and it just kept changing it all the time! The writers wrote a great movie, and I hope it develops into a franchise because it has that ability to be one!! Just be prepared for twist and turns and pay attention because if you get up to use the bathroom you might miss something. I do see why this film won so many awards, with Best Director and best Leading actor!! Just take my advice and go see this movie! In total I saw this movie 3 times and you'll see why when you watch the movie!! Go see this movie or buy it!!

I've been watching horror films all my life. This isn't another slasher film, nor is it a psychological thriller that you might be used to. Expect an amazing ride right from the beginning.

Well written, all questions will be answered. All the puzzle pieces will fall into place, and then I won't blame you if you feel that you need to watch this film one more time knowing what you know now.

Well acted and directed - both main characters keep you on the edge of your seat and invoke a slew of emotions.

The film score along with sound design is phenomenal and glues everything together quite nicely.

Unlike any indie film I've ever seen. I can hardly wait for a DVD release with director's commentary.

Excellent film, intelligent and entertaining. I enjoyed watching the thought processes of each character. David Banks was outstanding, and I was totally taken by the beauty and talent of Dahlia Salem, the entire cast worked hard to get the correct "feel" and it showed as this came across on the screen. David Roundtree's directing seems to allow the actors to explore their characters and they appeared to interact well on screen. I appreciated the tip of the hat to the past; with Suze Lanier-Bramlett from The Hills Have Eyes fame. I also appreciated the Hitchcock type filming where your mind is allowed to enhance the scenes. Overall a great mix of horror, and dark comedic moments that entertain and chill. Go see CUT!

I found this one to be freakishly delicious. It had all the elements an Indie film had. Great Actor and Actress. The plot was centralized around a deranged system, which i absolutely like. The fact it was budgeted means nothing to me, people usually miss the point of art. David Banks among the others, was perfect in this.

The point of this movie was an obsession a twisted obsession. David Banks rocks in this and I find him to be excellent in the film. It definitely made me cringe.

I have full respect for anyone who creates a finished product. Just because it does not have flying robots and naked princesses waiting to be rescued by an all too cliché prince, doesn't make this bad. Some of these other reviewers don't recognize the overall idea of this.

Anyone who has an appreciation for the arts, and likes the Dark Twisted role-play, this is for you

This was quite possibly one of the best indie horror films I've ever seen!

So smart, so well written, well directed, well acted, well scored, etc. Just overall very well done.

You will think you know what's going on...but boy will you be wrong! ;-)

Rountree and Banks make a wonderful duo with great chemistry in what starts off as a buddy comedy...that turns very dark very quickly. Lines of morality are wonderfully blurred.

Make sure you catch this one. You will not be disappointed!

Most thrillers tend to lose my attention pretty early in because they all seem to be either too similar, predictable, or corny. (or all of the above) Not this one, completely unpredictable. This is an incredibly intelligent movie that demands your attention throughout; otherwise you may miss some clues or some extremely well done scenes(make sure you know who's sitting next to you before you start watching)! Extremely well written, directed, and definitely very well done on the acting side. Given the quality of this movie overall it's hard to realize or accept the fact that this is in fact an ultra-low budget independent film.

Highly recommended!

**Oh and I love the twists! :-)

I just saw this tonight at a little theater in Hollywood. Was not sure what to expect although I did see the trailer. This movie was really good... some really scary stuff at times, I jumped a few times for sure. The acting is solid and the thing looks really good. So, who ever shot it did a fantastic job. It sets up pretty nicely for a sequel, so hopefully we see that one day.

Just a little side note... after watching the movie, I have been watching over my shoulder a little more than normal.

Great storytelling...

Worth a watch.
