Cut Plot Summary

What happens in Cut from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

During the 1988 filming of the slasher movie Hot Blooded, the set is jolted when Scarman’s actor Brad [Frank Roberts] accidentally stabs the actress playing Chloe—the character Vanessa Turnbill [Molly Ringwald]—in the chest, drawing a sharp rebuke from director Hilary Jacobs [Kylie Minogue]. Brad, still in costume, confronts Hilary in her office; she fires him. Enraged, Brad dons the Scarman mask, slices off his pinky finger with his shears, and murders Hilary by cutting out her tongue. Vanessa rushes in and finds Hilary dead, and Brad attacks her, the two clashing over the shears. Vanessa’s personal assistant Lossman [Geoff Revell] arrives just as Vanessa seizes the shears and stabs Brad through the neck, ending his murderous threat.
