Andy B I love a good found footage film - the problem is, that there are a lot of bad ones. The Last Horror Movie has divided opinion to such an extent that it was difficult to see which camp it would fall into - personally, I think this is one of the better ones. This starts as a low quality slasher movie, which is then interrupted by Max (the killer) who explains that he has over-written the actual film. What we then have is a film which documents his kills - sometimes quite graphically. What makes this different is that it shows other aspects of his life too - his relationship with his sister & nephew and his day job as a wedding photographer. Max narrates his film and challenges the audience. He doesn't make any excuse for his actions - he refers to himself as a psychopath several times - instead he repeatedly asks us why we're still watching the film. The scene with a double murder is the most explicit element of this theme, with the camera staying away from both murders, letting us imagining what has happened. Max then asks if we wanted to have been watching instead. Towards the end of the film, the reason for Max repeatedly challenging the audience becomes clear - he is killing people who have watched the film. This adds a frisson to the film - or, at least, it would if we still got films from video rental stores! That elements dates the film and somewhat ruins the illusion. Despite that, this is a good film. It asks some difficult questions about the viewers of slasher / torture films - and does not give any answers. There are a lot of implications made, but no comfortable answers given - what the Venezuelan Veal actually is, for instance. It's not perfect but it's a damned good watch. The film hangs on Max and he is extremely convincing- and, in his own way, quite scary. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Unique and all around well done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was awful! I couldn't even watch it to the end. It shouldn't be called a movie. It was just a talentless guy talking awfully to the camera Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Here is something different for horror. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A very fun, interesting horror film that does something fun and different with the idea of a found footage horror film, without relying too much on the brutality of the murders to tell the story and send the "message" that the character is looking for. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A solid mockumentary! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
