The Last Showing

The plot of the movie was kinda interesting and I decided to watch that movie, because I would like to give a chance to that low budget film. The storyline was average, because there were some plot holes, but sometimes it was well-written. The characters weren't very interesting, nor well-developed and not really likeable (they were all kinda annoying). The filming location of the movie was only one (the movie theater) and I really liked it. In my opinion, the concept of the movie was really interesting and I really liked it, but it wasn't very well-developed.. The killcount of the movie wasn't bloody at all, nothing wow. Of course, it was a really intense movie, but most twists were definitely expected. The ending scene was kinda expected and it was just okay.. Overall, it was an average low budget thriller/action film that didn't had any unexpected twists, but the concept of the film was really interesting.

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

It wasn't terrible and definitely had some good moments, Robert Englund gave a great performance and even though he played the villain I couldn't find myself hating his character all that much...honestly I didn't find myself having many strong feelings towards the movie at all...Overall the film felt lackluster and the ending was rather anti-climactic, I found myself being annoyed by the character's decisions more than anything else. To be fair, the plot could have had a lot of potential

At the start of the movie it's not clear what is going on, but everything seems creepy because of the editing, the camera work, and the music.

I have seen Robert Englund, but I don't recall whether I've seen him as a horror movie villain, and I certainly haven't seen his trademark role. He is outstanding here as a villain, and now I want to see him in the other role. Here, he is creepy but calm and intelligent, sometimes friendly, occasionally funny, rarely angry. I'm not saying I was rooting for him, but Stuart is the type of villain one is tempted to see succeed.

Emily Berrington does a good job as well. She's pretty and adorable but slightly edgy and quite tough. We don't actually see that much of her, and much of the movie is a cat and mouse game involving Martin and Stuart. Finn Jones is capable of handling himself, but it is a challenge.

Malachi Kirby is tough as a boss when he has the authority, but in a crisis he's more of a coward. That still could mean a good performance.

I don't know the name of the police officer in charge, but he's really good.

There is some violence, but mostly the movie is very tense. It's effective as a thriller. There are so many challenges to be met.

I'm not a fan of horror, but this was really good, mainly due to Englund.

After working as a projectionist for 25 years he decides he wants to make movies and his genre of choice is horror. The angle he wants to use is having real people commit the murders in his film. He hones in on a couple as his casting choice and starts filming. At the end of the film playing the couple find no one else around and before you know it she's been kidnapped with him locked inside the theatre. The boyfriend receives instructions from the disturbed projectionist on what to do if he ever wants to see... you know the rest.

Robert Englund plays the projectionist who has been told he can no longer be the projectionist limiting him to selling popcorn and cleaning. This of course helps in his new psychotic career choice. Englund plays the part to a tee. This wasn't too bad as watch how deep of a hole the boyfriend digs himself into. The ending might upset you if you like regular happy endings.
