Horror retrospectives revisit One Cut of the Dead and The Beast Must Die

Two articles spotlight horror films and their creative legacies. One revisits Shin’ichirō Ueda’s *One Cut of the Dead*, praising its shift from a zombie-film setup into a comedy about a beleaguered crew making a live movie, while arguing that its shortcomings stem from producers and network decisions rather than the people doing the filmmaking. The other recommends the 1974 werewolf film *The Beast Must Die*, starring Calvin Lockhart and Peter Cushing, as an overlooked part of Black horror history and traces how werewolf stories inspired a Black-centered project.
