Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

jkrimpelbein I can't believe that people would give this movie a terrible rating! I think you must be a complete amateur to give this movie any less then 7 because its is beautifully made, very realistic actor and actresses and completely heart warming as well as keeping you wanting to find out more! Just because it doesn't have blood and guts splattering all over gods creation, don't mean it's a terrible movie, much less a movie for little kids!! I will agree that maybe it shouldn't have been listed under horror and more like thriller but that's not the movies fault, it's whomever listed it under that category! And when u give it a bad rating, it messes with people thinking that the actual movie sucks when it's the listers fault! Some people may not watch or rent it then! Anyways (end rant) GREAT MOVIE!! Must see!!

The_Dead_See A glance at the DVD cover and blurb of "Last Kind Words" would have anyone believing they were about to watch a sort of generic teen horror movie full of gore and jump scares but that's a long way from the truth. This is a slow-burn coming of age drama and a supernatural love story. It has a haunting, almost hypnotizing southern-Gothic sensibility that's really quite beautiful.Eli, a 17 year old boy, finds himself moving with his abusive father and meek mother to the remote farmstead of family friend Waylon - played by the ever entertaining Brad Dourif - when the father loses his job. Eli ventures into the woods that surround the farm and meets a strange, alluring young girl called Amanda. As he begins to fall for Amanda he gradually uncovers a story of past tragic events on the farmstead and a rather sad haunting in the woods that goes all the way back to the days of the Underground Railroad. The only real downfall of this otherwise beautiful movie is a script that's a little unsure of itself and ends up feeling a tad messy and confusing in parts. The pace might bore some - it really is a slow one - but personally I think it just added to the feels. I enjoyed it a lot and for an indie, it's a very strong piece of work.

Sean Jump Last Kind Words is a reflective, atmospheric film rich in character and drama. It is not a typical horror movie, and in fact horror fans attracted by the promotional art may be disappointed at the lack of gore or special effects.The story begins when young Eli's parents move to an isolated farm to begin a new life. Eli's father drinks too much and is haunted by a memory that won't let go of him. Bored and restless, Eli goes for long walks in the nearby woods in search of peace. There he meets Amanda, a pretty young girl that Eli quickly takes to. But the farm's owner warns Eli that Amanda is dangerous. What kind of danger lurks within the forest, and what secrets wait for Eli to discover them? This is a somber, sometimes deceptively quiet movie that works because of traditional movie-making elements that are well-executed from beginning to end. Direction is unobtrusive but well balanced, and the acting from the small cast (primarily Eli and his parents and Amanda, with Brad Dourif as the only "name" actor as the reclusive farmer) is for the most part quite good, though it's no surprise the benchmark performance goes to Dourif. The script makes sense, unlike some genre screenplays which throw logic to the winds and hope nobody cares, and in the end you understand why everything turns out the way it does. The Kentucky setting is evocative and the simple country setting is not only picturesque but at times eerie and disconcerting.Though not the horror movie some who approach this film may be expecting, Last Kind Words is in fact much better than most low-budget productions of whatever genre. Sensitive, touching, and yet creepy in its subtle way, Last Kind Words will entertain you while you watch it and linger in your mind's eye for some time thereafter.

MissOceanB I find there are elements in this film which would strike a chord somewhere within with each viewer. The story, the scenery, the actors were all excellent. A few parts reminded me of Elvis & Annabelle, but aside from that, the films are very different. It is quite a daunting task to review this film without giving away too much (which is why I recommend viewing it!). Imagery and symbolism are well used which made the film that much more interesting and beautiful. Yes, there are some moments that may cause some to shudder or "jump", but they are few and far between. The film does well in exploring life and death and even modern history. There is a great melodic/ballad song that plays at times which also really made the film. Worth watching!
