The Last Showing

I was hesitant to watch this, but after reading a member review and seeing original storyline, I gave it a shot. Not only original, not only great, spot on acting, from the moment it starts, your hooked, lets see how the film plays out. I wouldn't classify it as a b film, but have no doubt it will amass a cult following. Watch the film with no expectations, watch it for a thriller/ quasi horror film..promise, you won't regret it.

so I need to make this review 10 lines, old timers who remember Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund is AWESOME...Still was waiting to hear the blades scratching..this is not a remake (lame), not some t&a film..am I at 10 lines yet?

Props to Phil Hawkins, writer/ Director.. will be keeping an eye out for more.. Cheers.

I certainly didn't expect much at first, but then I read some very positive reviews and also thought the first few minutes were really well done, so my expectations were heightened. I definitely think that the first half of this film is better than the second, which is why it's ultimately sort of disappointing. It's still watchable, if barely entertaining, but I feel like it definitely could have been more regarding its premise and its pretty original setting for a horror film. The acting is passable, but Englund really does bring a wicked charm to the role that he showed in the Elm Street films. Overall, I barely recommend this.

The story is pretty good on how a projectionist wants to make a real horror movie by trapping a couple inside the movie theater. The movie have good suspense to it and I really like how the movie points fun of other horror movies throughout. Also the movie is really clever on how it's presented here with the style of the entire movie. Out of the characters, there's only one that stand out from the rest and that is Stuart. Stuart is a great villain who have a mess up mind and is really intelligent on what he's doing. He also the one who points fun of other horror movies which is pretty clever. And Robert Englund does an amazing job as the character who is both threatening and charming. I really like the whole atmosphere to this movie on how it's both creepy and dread on being trapped in a theater with a deranged guy who is filming you for his sinister motives.

I don't think so. But it can be too desperate for its own good. Freddy Kr... I mean Robert Englund delivers and he's elevating this movie above mediocrity. The script is nice and there are changes in pace and direction, but it thinks too much of itself at times. And tries too hard to satisfy a few needs, to really go the extra mile.

Having said all that and even though, it does have it's issues here and there (plot holes/character flaws), the movie is entertaining if you let it in. It played well enough at Frightfest in London and people enjoyed it for what it is. The ending was something else that really made the movie better (at least in my eyes). Depending on what you think about that, you might feel it's not as decent as I thought

Man loses his cool and decides to create his own horror film, setting the stage himself using the unsuspecting patrons of a late night movie showing. Englund does well as the crazed film maker, but the premise becomes a bit to cliched and contrite to make the conclusion worth the ride. Decent effort, well produced, solidly acted, but it doesn't quite add up to what the parts could have made it.
