CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Scott LeBrun From writer James Handel and director Julian Richards comes this reasonably interesting look at the life of a serial killer who decides that he'll document his actions, with the help of a troubled cameraman / assistant (Mark Stevenson), in his attempt to "write the final word on what constitutes horror." Its execution isn't exactly fresh, nor is it ever particularly insightful, but Richards manages to keep it entertaining and watchable. (Even if one isn't impressed, they only have to stick it out for 76 minutes.) It does have some grim, graphic, and uncomfortable scenes, but the main attraction is a charismatic central performance by Kevin Howarth as Max. Howarth is almost the whole show as he sits down and chats us up, asking us what we think of him and assuming that we're condemning his actions. He raises certain moral issues, while passing commentary on the whole idea of voyeurism.Gore and effects work are good; in particular, the immolation scene is impressive. It may be hard for some viewers to take this film as it doesn't shy away from showing imperiled people suffering and pleading for their lives. And all the time Max is maintaining his amused sense of detachment. He is an intriguing bugger, to be sure, as we see him interacting with other people in his life and keeping up the facade of being a more or less "normal", if somewhat eccentric, person on the surface. Where the film really gets more interesting is when Max is encouraging the assistant to increase his level of participation. Not surprisingly, the assistant is too bothered by conscience to be able to sink to Maxs' level of depravity.At least Handel and Richards come up with one entertaining gag, presenting their film as the home movies that Max and his buddy have recorded over the horror film on a videocassette.Overall, this is good but definitely not great stuff that should warrant a look for fans of the genre, even if it's naturally not in the same league as movies that came before it or may have inspired it such as "Peeping Tom" and "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer".Seven out of 10.

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).

holly_sa Major disappointment! I thought it was going to be a typical horror movie but with a bit of originality. I was wrong. The originality that the movie was trying to achieve was over-done and therefore didn't make any impression on me. In the end it's just another low budget movie, done in a reality-TV kinda way, similar to "Blair-witch-Project" in terms of VERY little action and WAY too much talking. It feels like it was not edited at all. Surely that makes it seem more real, but we all know it's not. It also wasn't entertaining. I honestly had to stop myself from falling asleep several times...it was awfully boring and a waste of time. If you expect to see a scary movie, it's just not it.

disdressed12 huge spoiler alert.i'm about to give away the whole movie,in the hopes that no one else will ever watch this piece of excrement.a man gets off on taping people and getting their reactions before killing them, usually in a horribly disgusting way.oh yeah, he also talks to his victims as if it's all nothing more than a stroll in the park.he gives them little pep talks. for example, something along the lines of "Hey,it's okay,everything will be alright.keep your chin up".this is a paraphrase of some of the so called dialogue. that's pretty much the whole story.Oh, yeah we also get to hear him narrate too.what a joke.this is without a doubt the most vile,wretched thing anyone could make into a movie.it is not thrilling or exciting in any way,but stomach churning.less than 0/10
