The Last Cabin

The Last cabin is a documentary horror indie film.

Just don't waste your time watching this. It has many problems like acting the cast the plot the lighting. Everything about this is bad

There is not a single reason someine same will watch this. The actors aren't even trying to act. The director didnt even urged them to act right.

It is a low budget film which is also low effort. It was supposed to be scary but it isn't. All of these actors need acting school.

You can see from watching there is no effort in this. There is no sense of direction. Even the jumps Ares didn't scared me. I was in state of half sleep while watching this. Not recommended at all.

Great, another ridiculous 'found footage' garbage heap. Now, had I known that "The Last Cabin" was a 'found footage' type movie, I would never even have given it a second glance, as I absolutely detest that ridiculous genre of movies. It is just simply beyond my comprehension how these homemade movies pass as entertainment.

Sure, I had never even heard about director Brendan Rudnicki's 2025 movie "The Last Cabin" prior to stumbling upon it. And thus, without knowing anything about it, I opted to check it out.

I can't claim that writers Brendan Rudnicki and Kellan Rudnicki managed to put together a particularly interesting script. It was pretty generic, and for a seasoned horror movie fan, the movie just didn't cut it.

Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. The acting performances were fair; nothing great or memorable, but fair.

My rating of director Brendan Rudnicki's 2025 movie "The Last Cabin" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Plot

Trapped in a remote cabin, a film crew finds themselves stalked by three masked men who know the isolated forest and their every move.

Cast

Made by the creators of the very underwhelming Haunting of the Murder House (2022)

Verdict

Despite being punished by dozens of awful found footage movies I still believe it has it's place in the industry and look forward to that rough diamond nestled in the mountain of dirt that I come across every once in a while. Is the Last Cabin diamond or dirt? Very much the latter.

Found footage is usually supernatural, usually ghost themed and it's always refreshing when they try something else. I've seen found footage aliens, dinosaurs, zombies, bigfoot and beyond with mixed results and this one is a found footage slasher.

Three people go to a log cabin at night and come under attack from mask wearing psychopaths with no clear motivation. What you expect to happen, happens but very slowly and with very weak death scenes.

At first it got my attention, then as events unfolded it lost it as it descended into generic found footage territory. Nothing really happens, you don't see a vast amount, the character development is non-existent and every found footage trope here is used excessively except the night vision one which they skipped or perhaps didn't have the budget for?

A lazy, generic, bland found footage film that brings absolutely nothing new to the table and will appeal to folks new to the genre and with non-existent expectations.

Rants

Remember when it felt like filmmakers made an effort? Where they were movie fans themselves, knew the landscape, knew what had been done and knew what the fans wanted? Now it feels like instead of even trying to make anything new they intentionally recycle all the stuff that's already out there. Such a shame, this kind of thing is why I'm sleepwalking through movies because I've seen it before. Give us something new you lazy unoriginal folk!

The Good

Kind of like the cover art For about 15 minutes I was entertained

The Bad

Lazy and unoriginal Really breaks down at around half way Nothing really happens Poor kills.

This is my first online review so I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm a big horror fan but this movie had no real tension, no sense of dread and no real chemistry between the actors. Basically, it's "TheStrangers" in the woods. It feels very amateurish, like a film school project. Only thing it has going for it is that it is short.

So, after a particularly intense viewing experience, I decided I was going to kick back and try to relax with a little bit of that ol' found-footage nonsense, apparently featuring killers in clown masks waving chainsaws around.

Well, I guess I have no one to blame for this miserable waste of 70 minutes but myself, so I'll just make this short n' sweet.

There's absolutely no reason for this movie to be found-footage, other then the obvious, which is to keep the budget low.

The story is basically nonexistent, it's as if someone saw "The Strangers" and thought "let make something like that, with the change I found in my couch".

The movie also features, what can only be described in the most generous of terms, as something resembling a score, because off course it does!

Lastly, it's simply bereft of tension, scares or any elements that would justified it having been made in the first place.

I'm all for people picking up a camera and attempt their hand at moviemaking, but try striving toward expressing an original thought or at the very least have a semblance of an idea, before calling Action.
