Last Known Location

I had zero expectations when I watched this little Indy film. I have a strong appreciation for horror & suspense films, but I hate over the top torture films.

I was so glad this wasn't that. The story follows a few woman that are kidnapped and chained together in a house. There is a lot of suspense and psychological tensions throughout the film. The acting is solid and the production value is strong.

A lot of the film is shot in Philly and I found the story line to be very original. So many films if they aren't fast and furious for most of the film, fall off the radar and people don't give them a chance. This film really needs to be viewed from start to finish to appreciate it.

The idea and premise around this movie was good. There was some excellent character development and realistic story writing regarding a very difficult subject matter.

Some parts were a little bit unrealistic when it came to dialog and some of the character relationships which made the movie seem a bit amateur.

I do like how the director did not tip toe around to what is likely to happen when women are held captive in some basement of a sicko.

It would have been nice to give a little more character development around the antagonist or perhaps provide a little more of a backstory to why he became a monster.

All in all this is like a lower quality but better written Lifetime movie.

Great Movie! Love the ending! Very suspenseful! The actors and actresses did a nice job. I really liked how it got us hooked in the very beginning. The ending had a neat twist. Not what I had expected at all. Very good storyline. I like how they tied all three of the characters together. The male detective was very funny. Will definitely recommend this movie to others. It had a combination of humor and suspense. It was very believable. The opening was very engaging. The music throughout the movie was well thought out. I like the idea of all of the flashbacks....especially when the therapist was a young girl.

I usually check IMDb to ensure a movie has at least a 6.5 rating before watching, but recently I've given more 5-rated films a chance, and I'm glad I did with this one. In my opinion, it deserves a higher rating. I decided to watch it based on recent reviews praising it, and I wasn't disappointed.

Yes, the cinematography feels more low-budget, but the plot and acting were unexpectedly strong. Unlike many higher-rated films where I find myself saying, "That would never happen" or "That doesn't make sense," this movie captured situations in a way that felt real. It reminds you that these things do happen.

While the subject matter made it a tough watch at times, I thought it was a well-executed film. If you're debating whether to give it a shot, I'd recommend it-it just might surprise you.

It does keep you guessing right up until the end, because the end is a complete surprise you didn't see coming. There are some things that bothered me about the movie. The acting was a little forced at times, kind of like a bad TV movie. There wasn't enough depth to the characters, or the villain. And why didn't the three girls fight harder, I saw opportunities early on they could have exploited. Why did he do what he did? The Movie alludes to it but doesn't really say. The Hooks in the concrete basement floor the girls were chained to were obviously there for a long time. Had he been abducting women for a long time? Or was it something to do with the villain's mother?

Later in the movie Callie finds two little green toy soldiers that boys play with hidden in a crack next to her Chain hook in the concrete? Was the villain chained there as a kid, perhaps by his mother because he was "bad"? The upstairs of the house has an old feel to it...the furniture, the decorations. It almost looks like he's living in his mother's house, but you never see the mother. It did leave me with those questions, I felt like it could have been better with a little more back story and depth. But it wasn't all lacking, the plot and the girls kept me intrigued. Wanting to know more and see where it all ended up. And the end is a complete surprise, good one there!

From what I could find out this is a very young Indie film outfit with this being their first Major full length feature movie. Given all that, I'd say it was pretty good. In fact I'd say they would be ones to watch in the near future as they hone their craft and produce better and better movies.

So, yes, it's worth a watch.
