In 1968, when a 76-year-old nun is raped and murdered, a teen from the wrong side of the tracks is tried for the murder and sentenced to death in spite of his insistent claims that he is innocent. On the day of his execution, the young man writes a letter, promising revenge from beyond the grave. Soon after his execution, those involved start dying, and one of the jurors sets out to uncover the truth.

Joey Keogh Wicked Horror 10/08/2019
8/10
This is an incredibly atmospheric movie, dynamically shot and tightly edited so it never quite settles into a groove-such is its power. Go to Full Review

1/5
A stupid movie that thinks it's a lot smarter than it is, which makes it even worse. Go to Full Review
Chloe Walker Film Inquiry 03/13/2017
Rumley retreads the tired old beats that you've seen in every other below-average horror film of the last 30 years. A waste of material that other filmmakers would kill for. Go to Full Review
Fred Topel We Live Entertainment 10/31/2016
Johnny Frank Garrett's Last Word employs Natural Born Killers style editing to intercut flashes of violence. This of course entirely misses the point of Natural Born Killers. Go to Full Review
Kim Newman Screen International 08/24/2016
An unusual mixture of true crime and supernatural horror movie, Johnny Frank Garrett's Last Word is an impressively overwrought effort from British director Simon Rumley. Go to Full Review

08/31/2017 It was supposed to be a movie based on true events with paranormal elements but it looks like cheap TV production that was not needed for a wider distribution. Acting and montage is tragic, horror scenes terrible. See more 08/20/2017 Worth a watch, but they could have fitted the action into a 30 minute short. See more 03/14/2017 Very interesting movie. Simon Rumley's dark and "out there" style succeeds again. Fans of his "Fashionista" will like this latest project of his. It's scary and thrilling and a good movie to watch with friends in a dark basement. Sure it might not win an Oscar, but it's worth the 95 minute runtime. See more Read all reviews
