The Last Showing

The plot of the movie was kinda interesting and I decided to watch that movie, because I would like to give a chance to that low budget film. The storyline was average, because there were some plot holes, but sometimes it was well-written. The characters weren't very interesting, nor well-developed and not really likeable (they were all kinda annoying). The filming location of the movie was only one (the movie theater) and I really liked it. In my opinion, the concept of the movie was really interesting and I really liked it, but it wasn't very well-developed.. The killcount of the movie wasn't bloody at all, nothing wow. Of course, it was a really intense movie, but most twists were definitely expected. The ending scene was kinda expected and it was just okay.. Overall, it was an average low budget thriller/action film that didn't had any unexpected twists, but the concept of the film was really interesting.

I was hesitant to watch this, but after reading a member review and seeing original storyline, I gave it a shot. Not only original, not only great, spot on acting, from the moment it starts, your hooked, lets see how the film plays out. I wouldn't classify it as a b film, but have no doubt it will amass a cult following. Watch the film with no expectations, watch it for a thriller/ quasi horror film..promise, you won't regret it.

so I need to make this review 10 lines, old timers who remember Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund is AWESOME...Still was waiting to hear the blades scratching..this is not a remake (lame), not some t&a film..am I at 10 lines yet?

Props to Phil Hawkins, writer/ Director.. will be keeping an eye out for more.. Cheers.

At the start of the movie it's not clear what is going on, but everything seems creepy because of the editing, the camera work, and the music.

I have seen Robert Englund, but I don't recall whether I've seen him as a horror movie villain, and I certainly haven't seen his trademark role. He is outstanding here as a villain, and now I want to see him in the other role. Here, he is creepy but calm and intelligent, sometimes friendly, occasionally funny, rarely angry. I'm not saying I was rooting for him, but Stuart is the type of villain one is tempted to see succeed.

Emily Berrington does a good job as well. She's pretty and adorable but slightly edgy and quite tough. We don't actually see that much of her, and much of the movie is a cat and mouse game involving Martin and Stuart. Finn Jones is capable of handling himself, but it is a challenge.

Malachi Kirby is tough as a boss when he has the authority, but in a crisis he's more of a coward. That still could mean a good performance.

I don't know the name of the police officer in charge, but he's really good.

There is some violence, but mostly the movie is very tense. It's effective as a thriller. There are so many challenges to be met.

I'm not a fan of horror, but this was really good, mainly due to Englund.

Man loses his cool and decides to create his own horror film, setting the stage himself using the unsuspecting patrons of a late night movie showing. Englund does well as the crazed film maker, but the premise becomes a bit to cliched and contrite to make the conclusion worth the ride. Decent effort, well produced, solidly acted, but it doesn't quite add up to what the parts could have made it.

I certainly didn't expect much at first, but then I read some very positive reviews and also thought the first few minutes were really well done, so my expectations were heightened. I definitely think that the first half of this film is better than the second, which is why it's ultimately sort of disappointing. It's still watchable, if barely entertaining, but I feel like it definitely could have been more regarding its premise and its pretty original setting for a horror film. The acting is passable, but Englund really does bring a wicked charm to the role that he showed in the Elm Street films. Overall, I barely recommend this.
