BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Michael Ledo The film starts out like a "normal" slasher with someone who killed people in Vermont, escaping death row in Illinois, now stalking women in Grand Rapids Michigan. That is really the film I wanted to see. This film is interrupted by a British wedding photographer moonlighting as a serial killer. He has a homeless man follow him around and film the carnage in a different version of the hand held genre. He then (PLOT SPOILER) at the end slips this VHS back into the box at the rental place and waited to see if there was any response.In 2005 did they still have VHS rental places, even in London? Had this film been made in 1985 it would of had some meaning and be cutting edge, especially if they made it look like they actually taped over a VHS tape and created the original taped over film by the same title and released it under that name, all with the same cover. However for me to watch it on a DVD made in 2005 it loses any sense of realism that the hand held genre tries to create...even though we know it is all fake.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Killings lacked horror.
FlashCallahan So heres a great idea. A killer steals a horror movie from the video shop, tapes over the film with him being all smarmy and intersecting scenes of him killing people in various ways.It would have been amazing were it not for a little Belgian film called 'Man Bites Dog' back in 1992. Call it homage, call it rip off, but you cannot help but think of that classic while watching this.But when all is said and done though, it's still a fine movie, but the twist of the movie is that the killer waits for someone to rent the movie, and follow them home, and ultimately kill them.Max is your typical wannabe middle class thirty something, who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. If you can stomach his pretentious fox pops and silly anecdotes, you will love this movie.Fortunately in my line of work, I deal with these sorts of people everyday, so Max didn't really annoy me much, even his delusional anecdotes about life.It's a brutal movie, not for the faint hearted, and what makes it brutal, isn't the killings, it's the victims, they are normal people, no back story, your neighbour, someone you pass on the street, and the way the camera lingers on the victim, is the most shocking part of the film.It loses a point for really trying to make Max seem normal by having him host dinner parties and his friends are annoying, at points I wanted him to kill them.All in all, it's a brilliant little movie, so what if it homages MBD, the novelty is there, and it works to good effect.
hbWonderland Like a lot of horror fans, I'm always interested in seeing bloody, over-the-top shenanigans and naked girls. The Last Horror Movie--which I saw a while ago and was super excited to find out it's going to be playing on Troma Comcast On-Demand this month (!!!)--definitely delivers the gore. However, it's also very intelligent film that stands on its own next to films like Peeping Tom and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The writing is as sharp as it is self-reflexive, and the cinema verite cinematography adds depth and realism to the film.For fans and non-fans of the genre, The Last Horror Movie is a brilliant yet bloody exploration of the mind of a serial killer. Interested? Watch it on Troma Comcast On-Demand! I'll be right there with you.
holly_sa Major disappointment! I thought it was going to be a typical horror movie but with a bit of originality. I was wrong. The originality that the movie was trying to achieve was over-done and therefore didn't make any impression on me. In the end it's just another low budget movie, done in a reality-TV kinda way, similar to "Blair-witch-Project" in terms of VERY little action and WAY too much talking. It feels like it was not edited at all. Surely that makes it seem more real, but we all know it's not. It also wasn't entertaining. I honestly had to stop myself from falling asleep several times...it was awfully boring and a waste of time. If you expect to see a scary movie, it's just not it.
