Last Night at Terrace Lanes

I don't like to turn films off as try to watch no matter what but the acting in this film was absolutely atrocious. I can't even say that one actor was good to make the film bareable, cause they were all genuinely awful. The storyline wasn't even gripping either so after about 20 mins in it had to go off. I'm surprised it stayed on that long to be honest as it's awful. I love horror films and even some of the rubbish ones are watchable but this is NOT. Each to your own but I wouldn't waste your time especially when there are so many better horror films out there to watch. Only gave it one star as couldn't give 0.

Truly awful! I enjoy B horror movies and this is not one! The people involved with this should truly be embarrassed. Terrible plot that makes no sense (a cult that must kill at the bowling alley that goes nowhere!). Everyone at the bowling Alley is killed... except for the people hiding....in plain sight. And literally, where is the plot? Seems like some kid with rich parents said "here you go honey, go make a terrible horror movie with no plot and god awful effects and leave mommy and daddy alone ' I feel bad for the people involved in this train wreck! Please do yourself a favor and do NOT watch this!

Boring and starting with a lot of blood without exciting "Last Night at Terrace Lanes" attempts to blend mystery with psychological drama but falls flat due to its slow pacing and lackluster execution. The plot meanders without clear direction, failing to engage viewers or build suspense effectively. Despite a promising premise of unraveling secrets in a secluded setting, the characters lack depth, making it hard to invest emotionally. The film's attempt at atmosphere feels forced rather than natural, leaving audiences disconnected and ultimately disinterested. Overall, "Last Night at Terrace Lanes" struggles to maintain momentum, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience that fails to deliver on its potential.

I won't lie, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece here. The film was clearly made with an indie budget, and I went in knowing and respecting that. I'm also a huge fan of novelist Adam Cesare, who wrote this film (although not the original story).

The first 30 minutes or so had me hooked - the cult was creepy, their motive was mysterious, and the confined setting of a bowling alley is perfect for a close-quarters slasher. At a certain point, it started to completely fall apart. Horrible acting by the lead guy in particular. I wasn't sure if they made his character intentionally ridiculous or not but it did not serve the film - he was neither funny nor convincing.

And after a cringe-worthy climax, the movie literally just sort of ends. No explanation. What was the goal of the cult? What was their grand mathematical plan? A lack of explanation can be very effective, leaving certain things to the viewers' imaginations. This was not the case here.

Horror comedies are obviously difficult to make - they mostly end up either filled with jump scares or too much "comedy" that rarely, if ever, sticks the landing.

Steer clear of this one, but don't let that stop you from checking out Cesare's novels - the man knows horror and he knows how to write it well.

I thought the cast was great I enjoyed all of them and the characters, from the main ones to the short lived getting their fingers sliced off! It's listed as a comedy but with the exception of a couple laughs I actually found it to be more thriller horror which I loved. Thought the story line was great and loved the father Daughter moments they tossed in making it feel real, I thought the actors playing Bruce and Kennedy did a great job. Wasn't bored at all I enjoyed it till the end, the story line flowed and continued without any laps in entertainment! I loved the outfits the killers were wearing as well, not over done and basic which to me is always creepier! I love finding gems like this and hope more ppl enjoy it, I'd totally recommend.
