The Last Showing

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 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.

I don't think so. But it can be too desperate for its own good. Freddy Kr... I mean Robert Englund delivers and he's elevating this movie above mediocrity. The script is nice and there are changes in pace and direction, but it thinks too much of itself at times. And tries too hard to satisfy a few needs, to really go the extra mile.

Having said all that and even though, it does have it's issues here and there (plot holes/character flaws), the movie is entertaining if you let it in. It played well enough at Frightfest in London and people enjoyed it for what it is. The ending was something else that really made the movie better (at least in my eyes). Depending on what you think about that, you might feel it's not as decent as I thought

It wasn't terrible and definitely had some good moments, Robert Englund gave a great performance and even though he played the villain I couldn't find myself hating his character all that much...honestly I didn't find myself having many strong feelings towards the movie at all...Overall the film felt lackluster and the ending was rather anti-climactic, I found myself being annoyed by the character's decisions more than anything else. To be fair, the plot could have had a lot of potential
