Marcos, a rather unsuccessful film director, is immersed in the shooting of his new film, a queer giallo, when a series of terrible murders starts to happen in Barcelona, and all of them seem to be traced back to him. Cut! combines genres as far apart as terror and comedy, about a director vampirized by cinema who, despite being despised because of his films, needs to keep making them in order to live.
