Alicia I love this movie so much
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
charlotte-murdin Love this film, brilliant acting. The way they made it is brilliant. This is one of the best films I think I have ever seen. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think it was brilliant. It made you guessing in some parts of the film. I loved the way it finished. Made you really think, 'omg this could happen tomorrow'. It is very well directed. Very well acted. Overall, well worth a watch! If you enjoy a good 'fake documentary' this is the film for you!The main character is brilliant, he really draws you in. You kind of feel like you could get to know him.
Boba_Fett1138 This movie is being made somewhat interesting and watchable due to the approach it is taking. It's taking a realistic approach and completely tells the movie from the view point of an hand held camera, who is recording the killings and capturing the philosophies of a serial killer.But still, the movie is really far from a great one. The movie tries to make things seem as if they are all real. You could say that the movie tries to play out as a snuff movie but in that regard this movie is simply far from a convincing one. It could had worked out, if only the movie didn't had such a slick look and actually had some decent actors in it as well. It especially becomes apparent during the actual killings that the actors in this movie just aren't among the most talented ones.Also from a movie with a concept such as this one has, you are perhaps expecting some more blood and gore. But it's quite a tame movie, that often cuts away or moves the camera when a killing is occurring. The concept itself also gets quite tiresome after a while, since the movie is basically more of the same constantly. It's a real short movie but it just doesn't hold your interest completely throughout.The movie also tries to have a some sort of message and deeper meaning to it all but quite frankly it really isn't clever enough for that to make a real point about anything.Guess it's still all good enough to watch, maybe just once.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
Scarecrow-88 A serial killer shoots his life of crime, communicating intimately with the audience who continues to watch his psychotic(..but cleverly executed)activities. For a period of time, Max has an assistant, a camera operator who records his murders until he threatens to stop him. Max uses his video diary in several ways, often indicting us, the voyeurs who watch, and our reactions towards his ability to not only kill, but live without guilt and get away with his crimes.First off, without the extraordinary performance from Kevin Howarth as Max, I don't think Julian Richards THE LAST HORROR MOVIE could work near as well. But, thanks to Howarth's commanding presence and impeccable skill at holding a grip over the viewer, THE LAST HORROR MOVIE becomes much more than some video document of an intelligent maniac's family life and slaughter of selected innocents. Kudos to director Richards who doesn't hardly ever let the camera's movement affect the viewer in a negative way and the editing(..the video diary's collection of events, from the mundane, everyday dealings with family members and friends, to Max's communications with his camera assistant, not to mention the process of choosing victims and executing them, with the murderer talking personally with us)is superb. The murders, shot in real time, are remarkably effective(..such as one victim being burned alive, another's throat slit, concluding with the plastic bag suffocation of a viewer who was interrupted by Max while watching his handiwork not knowing it was real).Max is a wedding cameraman by profession and often questions why those that are miserable continue to live. He has very hostile feelings towards society in general, and lets off steam to the camera. It's kind of a parody on snuff films and our obsession with reality television. He questions(..mocks, is more like it) us and why we would look down on him in disgust for committing such heinous acts of violence, when we continue to watch. You know, besides the stunning performance from Howarth, the screenplay also is quite thought-provoking and fascinating..it serves as a biting satire on how we never truly know somebody, no matter how close we are to them. That's what makes THE LAST HORROR MOVIE so chilling, we experience the whole universe of Max(..if we continue to observe his activities that is), both peering into the dark abyss and witnessing the other side where he functions humanly with people that know him. Tinged with jet black humor throughout, director Richards casts naughty winks to us as they poke fun at the genre. I felt director Richards, cast, and crew admirably(..successfully) achieve in their goal to create a realistic portrayal of a cerebral assassin who could, at any time, knock on your door, bewitch you with his charming smile, earn your trust, and assail you when you least expect it. One of the best shot-on-video films out there. The moments between Max and his gullible assistant can be quite unnerving(..particularly when Max insists on his direct participation in criminal acts).
thecatsmother The is one of the most boring films I've EVER seen! Its got a good premise and would probably have been mildly entertaining in a shorter format (would have made an okay episode of Urban Gothic) but as it is its just one yawn-some killing after another. Max is one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever encountered (even for a serial killer obviously). The 'twist' is heavily signposted throughout and can be figured out by about fifteen minutes in. Max's speech implying that we the viewers are as bad as him because we have watched the killings didn't really seem relevant when we had been talking through most of them they were so dull.
