Critics Consensus

Its restrained approach may frustrate horror fans seeking more visceral thrills, but The Last Thing Mary Saw tells a haunting period tale.

It has a you-are-there feeling that's unusual in low-budget period pictures.

"The Last Thing Mary Saw" is as surprising as it is frustrating.

There are cracks in the icy mood of this austere, slow-paced horror.

Loud and Clear Reviews

The Last Thing Mary Saw is watchable and even intriguing when it aims for twisted horror… However, it is also a little confused as to what kind of horror it wants to showcase and – crucially – fails to be scary enough.

Rated: 3/5

Nuha Hassan (Medium)

The Last Thing Mary Saw unleashes an interesting and powerful concept and themes that use fear-based experiments as a form to correct sexual desires and the kinds of immorality that faith believers can introduce.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The Last Thing Mary Saw finishes with a bang. With a strong ensemble cast, a riveting second and third act, and an atmosphere rich in mystery and dread, how can you go wrong?

Rated: 9/10

'slow paced' is one thing – unbearably long shots and scenes without any dialogue throughout the whole movie until it finally bores you to death is another...

É lento, assim como o filme A Bruxa, e creio que se passe até na mesma época. O que temos de melhor é a fotografia, figurino e iluminação. Temos boas atuações também, mas o roteiro e a edição não ajudam muito a dar um up no filme. Isto porque para tentar aproveitar o suspense, acaba escondendo demais, e não demarca realmente ao que o tema se propõe, e os finalmentes deixa coisas sem explicação. Se for para querer uma continuação.... seria uma boa, caso contrário, o fim não é tão gratificante.

New York, 1843. "The Last Thing Mary Saw" portraits the horrors of sexual repression through the lens of a lesbian love story. The young women are interrogated and tortured countless times by religious fundamentalists with the intention of "correcting" their sexual deviations. The horrifying fear of God prevails in this atmospheric religious horror movie.

Overall, it's quite rare to find a horror movie that attempts to deliver something different. Visually this film is pleasing, and the plot delivers many unsettling and disturbing moments when very little is occurring. The film is a slow burn, and honestly, there were some moments within the plot of the first act that I struggled to process and understand. Nevertheless, there is some impressive filmmaking on display here. The journey this film took me on, including the film's finale, will stay with me for some time, which is always a positive aspect of cinema, thanks to the writer and director Edoardo Vitaletti.
