Fase Um

THE LAST EXPERIMENT is a low budget horror outing that has potential but squanders it through a generally overly familiar feel and slightly sub-par execution. It's hard to put your finger on what exactly is wrong with this movie, because the storyline isn't bad at all and the pacing is spot on. But it never manages to be scary or thrilling for a moment, and instead is content to wallow in gross-out scenes rather than moments of genuine exhilaration.

The plot is about a group of diverse characters who volunteer as test subjects in a remote research installation. Unfortunately the drugs they're given have all manner of violent side effects which soon become apparent. The plot becomes more and more convoluted as it goes on, until the ridiculous twist ending. Also, THE LAST EXPERIMENT lacks decent actors to bring the characters to life, and you can feel the inexperience from most of the cast. Only a cameoing Eric Roberts reminds you of the calibre of actor who should be appearing in this sort of thing.

How on Earth is this a solid effort? Seriously now, I love horror in its many forms but Bloodwork is cheap and acts the same too. The subject is overly used, the actors are OK, the logic in the film is missing, no scares, no tension, just a lot of mediocre moments that lead to a very weak ending.

Bloodwork is a combination of things you've seen a thousand times, trust me, a little bit of The Facility, Insanitarium and so many like those 2 that I'm just gonna stop here. If you are new into horror, maybe this will seem like an interesting thing to watch one lonely, rainy night, but for anyone else, either familiar or just looking for a good scare, it will present itself as a very big disappointment. I was seriously surprised as how bad it was, I waited and waited and at a certain point I did realize that this is all it has to offer.

Therefore I recommend you look elsewhere, no point into watching something that was made long before, not even at the same quality. Bloodwork is a ripoff that failed badly, showed some potential here and there but it didn't work out well. So sad I got fooled by all those positive reviews and quite a good rating too. Well, you live and learn.

Cheers!

The actors were actually pretty good to be fair to them. The story just wasn't quite there. They had the tools to make a really good film but I feel they might have just fallen short. If you're debating watching it you might as well Chuck it on what do you have to lose.

If you are a horror/suspense fan, you'll like this (unless you expect every movie to have EVERYTHING,, budgets are budgets,, ya know).

Just go watch it!

Starts out fairly decent, first 30 minutes is more of a comedy than anything else.

The quickly changes after that though and turns into something more in the horror territory.

And that's also where the movie starts falling apart.

In some aspects it works, it did have a good set-up and a decent enough cast, plus the cinematography was pretty cool and decent atmosphere but it's just the incredibly contrived writing that gets in the way.

I'd rather have no reasoning than what we are given and there so many logical loopholes in the characters motives and reactions that you can go hula-hooping with them.
