The Last Resort

I just rented this movie from the Redbox today and I must say that if you are looking for a good movie to pull up a blanket and a pillow to cover your eyes with this is NOT your movie!!!!!!! But if you are looking for a movie to pull up a blanket and a pillow to help you fall asleep to well then this IS your movie!!!! The acting is bad, the violence is dull and the script is horrible. I fell asleep 3 times during this movie. I was waiting for it to get better or at least watchable but it never got to either point. The length of this movie is barely just over an hour but it is an hour of my life that I want back. Hey, at least one thing good came out of it, I only wasted a dollar rental. Take my advice and DO NOT RENT and PLEASE DO NOT BUY this one!!! Lionsgate has many other films in their library that are passable but this is NOT one of them!!!!

bad things happen at a resort in the desert in Mexico. the resort is now cursed and anyone who goes there gets possessed and they do bad things to people they would normally would not do bad things to. decent storyline that could have had possibilities but bad acting and writing make it a movie to watch only for the attractive women that are in it. America olivio is hot. the other girls are pretty hot. there's only one decent nude scene but its not America. the movie is only about 70 minutes long. the copy i rented had no extras. i cannot recommend this movie for viewing unless its your last resort. thats all i can really say about this movie.

I recently watched The Last Resort (2009) on Tubi. The storyline follows a girls' trip to Mexico that includes a bride-to-be and her bridesmaids. One night, one bridesmaid goes home with a boy she met, while the others decide to let her have her fun and go on without her. The bridal party ends up kidnapped, abused, and left for dead at a haunted resort. Meanwhile, their friend and her new boyfriend head out to find them-but is it too late?

This film is directed by Brandon Nutt (Hijacked), in his directorial debut, and stars America Olivo (Friday the 13th, 2009), Paulie Rojas (The Witches of Oz), Marissa Tait (The Bold and the Beautiful), and Arianne Zucker (Days of Our Lives).

This is one of those movies that, with a better cast and writing, could have been solid. Unfortunately, the acting is very inconsistent, especially from the villains, who didn't feel authentic at all. The dialogue is very hit or miss, leading to some eye-rolling moments that feel made-for-television. Even the sex scenes could have been better and felt off. It's a shame because, once you get to the conclusion and have completely given up on the picture, the ending is actually pretty good.

In conclusion, The Last Resort is a movie that, with better execution, could have been worthwhile, but unfortunately, it misses the mark. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend skipping it.

First off the film quality was just awful, the music was even worse. It was full of clichés. Five chicks and a haunted resorted full of bad mojo. Everything in this flick is predictable. Girls are in Mexico doing the whole bachlorete party, they all get drunk, one "hooks" up, and of course they get separated, mugged, robbed, shot and lost in the middle of no where. No imagination what so ever. And low and behold shocker.. they start fighting amongst themselves. There was some bad over acting. It was never explained what the bad mojo was beside some voices in the girls head or how it got there. The evil or bad mojo possesses the girls. There is nothing good about this film to say except is was short. I almost turned it off in the first 20 minutes, absolute yarn!!! I had more fun cleaning my toilet!

When a group of girlfriends on a bachelorette party in Mexico get stranded out in the desert, they find themselves seeking shelter in an abandoned shrine built by a deranged madman and his psychotic followers and slowly find themselves succumbing to the whims of the spiritual followers still residing there.

This turned out to be a pretty disappointing effort, mostly hurt by the fact that this one's so short it really can't get a whole lot in or explore the potential of it's ideas by it's brevity and extremely short amount of time actually at the location. The fact that the girls' out-on-the-town hijinks takes up the first thirty-forty minutes in a movie barely over an hour, which when coupled with the second subplot about the left-behind friend trying to rescue them, makes even less scenes in the location which compiles barely fifteen minutes of screen time, the majority of that coming from the rescue attempt at the end. That leaves us to see the results of what happened in the location but the desired actions, as the aftermath makes it look highly enjoyable had we seen it played out. With a weak back-story that's hardly explained and a decided lack of on-screen help from others beyond merely repeating the same thing over-and-over again, this one doesn't have a lot going for it.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a mild sex scene.
