Last of the Grads

I almost slept while watching the movie until I hear the voice of Officer Greg. The acting of Officer Greg is phenomenal and overshadows the other actors themselves.

10/10 would watch Officer Greg again.

I admire the filmmakers putting a solid effort to keep the slasher subgenre alive. Unfortunately there are more shortcomings than positives though the film is watchable and a couple of the kills ok.

I think the acting was ok for an amateur unknown cast. To me there were some people miscast in their roles and would've been better served swapping characters with another.

The soundtrack missed the mark on a lot of occasions and was overbearing in spots.

Still, I like effort by the filmmakers and hope they devote themselves and hone their craft in the slasher retro-slasher category.

We all know his name. We all know his big role as Uncredited District 8 Helper from the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. We all aspire to be like him. After years of anticipation and blind guessing we have been blessed with his presence as Officer Greg in a new genre classic - Last of the Grads. With this performance, Charles White transcends the meaning of the term "method acting". He blurs the line between actor and character and truly becomes the grizzled police officer struggling with depression. The man looks like a dream - 5 feet ans 6 inches(the perfect height for a man), a 6.5 inches of steel and glory, and a beard of a homeless man. And the lines, don't even get me started - "limp-dick turbo-virgin loser" is now a staple phrase in my vocabulary. By the end of the film, I screeched out the legendary "WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! YEAAAAH BABYY!!" to celebrate the man's famed career. Unfortunately, the Oscars are infamous for ignoring horror films, thus snubbing some the best performances we have ever witnessed on the silver screen, so Charles will criminally go unnoticed by the Academy once again. All we can do now is hope Charles will once again star in a film and elevate it beyond regular cinema.

Not much good going on here. The beginning was so bad, I skipped through it. Good lord, the fans of officer Greg are actually right. Sadly his was some of the best acting of the entire movie.

I rented this movie because my girlfriend and I are big fans of Cr1tikal (Charlie White) who had been promoting this on his Youtube page for months. I followed the production on Instagram and it looked promising, even boasting the participation of the same color grader who worked on "It Follows" which is a great film. This is not. It starts out decently and it looks well made, maybe a bit bright, like a soap opera. Over the course of the film it gets worse and worse. The gore FX look like wax and water dyed red in an obvious way, the script isn't great, and not a single character is more than a mere archetype or trope. Before most kills (not all, but most) there is a complete lack of build up or suspension and then the deaths kinda just happen in five seconds and are done. Overall,it's not unwatchable, but it's not worth watching again.
