Cast and Crew of Final Cut

Final Cut

'Final Cut' is a psychological thriller that combines elements of mystery and suspense. Typical genre traits include intense emotional conflict, unexpected plot twists, and a dark, tense atmosphere. The film centers around a group of friends confronted with a haunting video shot by a deceased friend, revealing hidden truths and escalating paranoia.

The gradual unraveling of secrets in a confined group setting adds to its claustrophobic tension and keeps viewers engaged until the chilling climax.
