‘Last Night at Terrace Lanes’ Review – Bowling Slasher Lands Somewhere Between Strike and Gutterball
In the pantheon of cool horror movie locations, the bowling alley is an overlooked gem. Unsurprisingly, the tendency to feature a disembodied body part being flung down the lane means that such films are frequently horror comedies.
Last Night at Terrace Lanes adopts a slasher approach (see: Gutterballs – or don’t), but maintains a humorous tone.

Sadly, the finished product struggles with its execution, leading to a decidedly mixed comedy slasher.
It’s the last night of business at Terrace Lanes, an aged bowling alley scheduled for demolition. Among the employees and the regulars bowling one last time, there’s Kennedy (Francesca Capaldi), a queer teen looking for some solo time with her crush Tess...

Is this Groundhog Day? Not exactly. The 2009 short film Over and Over Qualified will entertain you. Director Francis Abbey brings a unique look to Mark who has lost everything. A visit from Mark’s friend Tina almost drives Mark to insanity. Actor John Tweel portrayal of Mark Shapiro is what you expect from someone who has lost a home, wife and job.

You are able to see that Tina looks at Mark as a role model when she refers...
