Andy B @RT49744558 05/06/2024 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. See more 11/17/2019 Unique and all around well done. See more 10/08/2019 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 See more 07/14/2016 Here is something different for horror. See more 11/05/2015 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.
