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!!!!

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 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.

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.

I'll TRY to give this movie an honest review. So honestly, I wanted to gouge my own eyes out no more than 5 minutes into the movie! Honestly, I felt as if the $1 I had just spent at the RedBox was $1 too much. Honestly, I'm upset that the time I'd just spend watching this movie was lost forever. Honestly, I'll try to read more reviews and check out more trailers before I ever check out another movie like this again! In all honesty if there had been a little more nudity like I had initially anticipated in a "B" movie such as this with (5) beautiful women in it at a bachelorette party in Mexico, then my ADD mind would have been able to better focus on the entirety of the film.
