    My opinions are divided

    An interesting film to say the least. The first act does well at establishing our characters however the main character we are meant to root for is kind of a careless, aggressive and obnoxious teenager. This makes it less enjoyable to watch as I found myself less invested. Act 2 saves this movie from getting around 4 stars, I really like the twist of who is behind the masks as I think it adds an interesting dynamic to the movie and shows how mental some people can become. If this twist was implemented into a higher budget and better written script I think the concept could've really been perfect.

    Was the motive weak? Sure, but I'm guessing they were trying to show that substance abuse can make bad situations in life worse? However I don't believe substance abuse= automatically turn into a deranged psychopath that doesn't think about their consequences. I also like how act 2 kind of showed us the other side of the story and a bit of the villains backstory.

    Act 3 was, well it wasn't great. It felt very rushed and a bit cheesy. It left quite a few plot holes and things in the air. I understand it's meant to be a silly slasher but wow do some of these characters make some awful decisions.

    Overall I definitely think the movie is worth checking out, i guess it's quite unique for modern slashers but just don't get your expectations too high as in places the movie is downright awful.

    Drugs Are Bad MMMkay.

    As far as crime-horror-thrillers go...this isn't half bad.

    Though, it's quite cliche.

    The whole story takes place in, and around, a diner, run by a man and his daughter, in a small town, where oppourtunities aren't exactly omnipresent.

    So, when a series of events leads to one of the employees getting fired...things get a little out of control.

    Which is to say, an understatement.

    As one thing leads to another...and violence ensues.

    The whole thing is entertaining enough, but it's certainly not without it's faults.

    Because, on top of ruining the mystery far too early...the "twist" is ridiculously implausible.

    And kind of ruins the whole last bit of the film.

    The film then ends on a note that- while it does make sense- really forces you to dig deep in order to grasp the meaning.

    Which I feel flies over most viewers heads.

    As it seems, almost randomly, thrown in as the conclusion.

    That being said, it's not a horrible film.

    Even if you don't "get" the ending...you can still be entertained by the violence-laden journey, in a mindless sort of way.

    But it's definitely not great, either.

    As, like I mentioned above, I think clarity will elude most viewers.

    4 out of 10.

    Why the bad reviews??

    This was better than most "horror/slasher/thriller" movies that have been released in the last few years. Sure it's not perfect and there are plot holes everywhere but I think that's meant to be deliberate considering who the protagonists are (backwoods americans).

    There are some decent twist and turns and the story is easy enough to follow if you pay attention and use your brain.

    The main actress, Jessica Belkin, carries the movie with her performance and I thought suited the character nicely. The other actors all put in decent performances.

    I think the other reviewers here are expecting some big hollywood production with the same boring storyline and cgi. It's a good movie and goes for a good length of time.

    Up until the last 15-20 minutes well worth a watch

    I would have given this a 7/8 had it not been for the essentially braindead and completely unnecessary last 20 minutes. It's not the worst thing ever so would recommend giving this a view but the end was completely illogical. The acting was good, the story was good but the ending really spoils it. Everything that was built before was 'realistic' as far as a horror movie can be including decisions by characters etc but then they just decided to just mess it up by making the well woven main characters do things that completely takes you out of the movie and say 'wait, why, wtf'. The director could have done really well with this but decided to trope out.

    Surprisingly intense ride!

    Imagine a mix of "Waitress" and "The Strangers" with a dash of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" thrown in for good measure. The whole movie takes place in this roadside diner, which gave it a really claustrophobic and creepy vibe.

    The acting was actually pretty decent for a low-budget thriller. You really felt for the main character, Nancy, as she fought to survive the night. The plot had some twists and turns that kept me guessing, although a few things didn't quite add up. But hey, it's a horror movie, so a little suspension of disbelief is required, right?

    Overall, "Last Straw" is a solid choice if you're looking for a suspenseful, bloody good time. Just don't expect a masterpiece of cinema. It's more about the thrills and chills than deep character development or anything like that. Grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and prepare to jump a few times!
