The Last Resort

Two days in a row I've been burned by DVD artwork. There are no scenes of a sexy woman in a bikini anywhere in this movie. Why do these movies portray scenes on the DVD art that do not exist anywhere in the movie? It's bait and switch! The acting was mediocre, and the story line was just dumb. The "club" was not believable. It wasn't playing music you would expect to hear at a tourist club, and there were about 7 people there. This movie is so low budget they couldn't even afford to pay enough extras to fill the club. And why cast good looking women if you're not going to show any skin?? Even if they don't have nudity, at least give us them in bikinis at the beach. You may have well cast 5 dudes instead. Girls partying in Mexico and not even a bikini shot??? Who are the idiots who make these movies?? The story line is loosely played out, and it's up to the viewer to figure out what exactly is happening to the girls at the resort. The idea is good, but not done well in any shape or form. A terrible movie. DO NOT RENT!!!

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!

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!!!!

I expect people to be able to distinguish movies and reality. Your next vacation will not end up like anything from this movie. Of course it is always good to look out for yourself and not being taken advantage of. But that is true for every part of your life. And many other situations that have nothing to do with vacation - or celebrating a friends engagement.

A girls trip of sorts. But one that is not going to end well ... for at least some of those who are involved. And as always there is a warning. Not that people ever listen to those. Anyway, it does take some time, but we do root for America Olivo. Yes God bless America (sorry for the pun and I can only imagine she is sick of that joke) - not everything works actually, but this is a horror movie. All things considering this is decent overall - if you are into horror movies that is.

Okay, so as is my usual habits, I rented this movie and then read the reviews and message boards while opening credits were rolling. For the most part, everybody was in agreement that this movie sucked something fierce, however, I don't really share their opinion. Now as a rule, I WILL give a movie a bad review if it deserves, but in this case, I don't think it does. Essentially, four women end up alone in a deserted resort that has a bloody, ugly past where evil spirits still reside. What makes this story work is A) Interior Mexico is a damn scary place and B) The resort, even in the daytime is creepy as hell. Agreed, the acting isn't top bill Hollywood fair. None of the girls are ugly, but a few are hotter than Georgia asphalt. I wish they'd made the movie a little longer and given a bit more story to the back story, but that's just me. Overall, I thought it was a decent B flick. Don't expect Tarantion or Polanski and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
