Ian if you guys aren't familiar, this movie was originally supposed to be a sequel for Maniac, you have some returning actors from Maniac as well, including Joe Spinell. even though this was supposed to be a sequel it has nothing to do with the first Maniac. This movie has the same concept though, you have a maniac who is obsessed with this actress and wants to make a movie with her. he is so serious about this movie that he wants to make that he starts killing people that stand in his way. you even have Joe Spinell's real life Mother in here which is really fun. now i'm not huge on this movie, it's not that good in my opinion. this movie has several flaws but i can understand how someone could enjoy it. i would say if you like the first Maniac check this one out. p.s. it's kinda weird that there are billboards for a movie called stab and in the movie the actress starred in a movie called scream. did they predict scream??! 😱 jk jk Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Chuck S Anything that features Joe Spinell gets 5 stars from me Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An alright slasher flick with a unique premise. Spinell is delightfully mad, as he tended to be, and the ending is surreal and wacky as hell. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/09/18 Full Review Audience Member saw it in the theater under the title THE LAST HORROR FILM Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Embora superficialmente "The Last Horror Film" revele todas as características de um vulgar slasher-movie, essa noção muda consideravelmente à medida que o filme de David Winters demonstra ser uma peça bastante sui generis de uma época em que tudo podia acontecer no cinema de terror. Para isso contribui bastante o facto da acção desenrolar-se na gigante passerelle do festival de Cannes, de uma maneira geralmente convincente e que transcende por completo as limitações de uma produção em que o orçamento era obviamente escasso. "The Last Horror Film" é portanto um filme sobre a obsessão de um taxista de Nova Iorque pela ideia de fazer uma obra-prima de terror, com a sua estrela favorita, que por acaso e tal como o seu protagonista, consegue ir muito mais longe do que o que poderíamos esperar. Além disso, a banda -sonora é de uma foleirice deliciosa e a franqueza do lado slasher do filme tem qualquer coisa de Abel Ferrara. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fanatic (aka "The Last Horror Film") Starring: Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro Director: David Winters A delusional would-be filmmaker, Vinnie, (Spinell) follows his favorite horror movie star, Jana Bates (Munro), to the Cannes Film Festival where he proceeds to stalk her and her collegues while making the ultimate, true-to-life slasher-movie. There was great potential in this movie, but it fails to reach it because of excessive padding and bad scripting. The story only functions because its characters behave stupidly--Jana is being stalked by a crazed killer who has gone after her twice, and yet she doesn't even hire any bodyguards, and gets no police protection?--and because the killer manages to pull off the impossible--such as making a corpse and all the blood vanish in a matter of moments, gets his hands on a police uniform in a city he doesn't know, and gets in and out of a backstage area during an ongoing production without being seen by anyone. The twist ending helps explain some of these plot problems (and twist-on-the-twist helps further), but these also feel like cop-outs on the part of the filmmakerrs who must have known their script had problems and were trying to do an easy fix. "Fanatic" was a movie I really wanted to like, but it was just too flawed to be good. Maybe with about ten minutes shaved from the running time, and a little more care taken with the plotting and the twist-endings, this would have been an excellent little flick. It's one that could do with a remake. (In the 2008 version, Vinnie would be updating his Rotten Tomatoes blog on a thrice-daily basis. :D ) (Amusing trivia: The movie that Jana Bates is in Cannes to promote is "Scream", which eventually became a real-life self-referential horror movie directed by Wes Craven.)
