The Last Light

Doesn't the shills realize that when they offer a 10 of 10, followed by raving about how great a movie like this is ....everybody knows they're not being truthful?

This movie is not absolute garbage, but it's not great either.

This film just gives up. Some of the best stories, twists, turns, and characters come from low budget films. It can force filmakers to create something unique from literally nothing. Then there are low budget films that just give up on closure and finite conclussion because it adds to the "mystery" or "allure". NOPE. That's lazy. The Last Light serves up some good mystery and gets the audience to piece some good questions together, but it's almost as if you can see where funds just dried up and they slapped credits onto the last shot. Nothing is answered and it's not done in a "this or that" way. It's completely ambiguous with nothing substantial to go on. This isn't a movie to watch if you're going off tags or genre's alone. This movie isn't one to watch at all actually. But if you are looking for a writing prompt in your 11th grade english class, watch the last 10 minutes and I guarantee your teacher will give you at least a B+ for finishing this aborted movie.

Film maker Andrew Hyatt has written and directed one of the most disturbing, visionary horror films of the last decade and it is a cinema triumph. Stunning imagery of haunting intensity and rich characterizations bring unique power to this saga of people trapped in an abandoned hospital following a mysterious apocalyptic event. In the forbidding corridors of unspeakable horror lurks unknown entities that desire only to consume these unfortunate individuals and have them fighting for their very lives. The atmosphere Hyatt creates is overwhelmingly frightening and imaginatively realized with exceptional creativity. Edward Furlong and Jeff Fahey give superb performances and Yvonne Zima, Molly Hagan, and the always outstanding Ed Quinn are also do exemplary work. In fact, this may be Ed Quinn's finest role since playing Stark on the small screen in the delightful Eureka. Simply tremendous cinema, no one who experiences the spine chilling terror, unendurable suspense, and unrelenting horror of The Last Light will ever forget any of it.

Let me quote two reviewers: "Stunning imagery" Second reviewer: "raving about how great a movie like this is..everyone knows they are not being truthful". I go with number two, he forgot to add "you know the person was involved with cash at some point." It's not horrible, more in the I'm falling asleep, wake me when something interesting happens category. If I going to get stuck watching dark gloomy corridors, it better be something like a zombie movie or the thing from Storage 24, not this group of people.
