Right out of the gate, my expectations and sights were automatically set extremely low when I sat down to watch The Last Horror Movie earlier this afternoon. That's due mainly to the fact that the DVD of this that I own has the words and logo of Fangoria-Gorezone Video scrawled across the top of the cover, which just makes my stomach sink to an in-explicable level of nausea and vomit. The other film that has that same inscription plastered at the top for everyone to see is the abhorrently horrendous Skinned Deep-which I have wanted to re-watch for a great while now to write a review on here for. I've avoided it on purpose. There's nothing in this world that can make me grasp why or how that piece of ass cake even made it past the "hey guys, I have an idea for a movie" stage. Earlier this year I watched and reviewed an eternal piece of shit by the name of Eyes Front-worst serial killer film I think to ever be committed to celluloid (or digital camera. Whatever). The Last Horror Movie, however, ended up being a more than solid effort at presenting itself as a really long, well edited serial killer/snuff film. Basically. This dude Max is a photographer/videographer for hire. He does weddings. He even states himself at some point in the movie that it's not a bad life getting food and drink for free-and there's always plenty of women to try to get with. I think the way Max carries himself while he's around other people (not killing randomly because he's bonkers) as being a charismatic and charming bastard really takes this piece to a whole other level and absolutely makes him believable as the killer he really is.
To many pretty lights.
Watching scary movies by yourself is always fun, though.
Is that a mask from Halloween III?
So, this jackass makes snuff films?
Gravity kills.
I'm pretty sure that beating a black guy with a hammer is racist. I'm not 100% though.
Hahaha, what a kooky, charismatic son of a bitch.
That's me. The kid standing on the wall by himself not wanting to interact with anyone.
Gameboy Advance? Hell yeah!
The best part of a wedding is always the reception.
You're not being profound. You're just killing people and filming it.
As humans, we are always attracted to the things we are not supposed to be.
Holy shit-I thought she was dead.
I've noticed zits and zombies that The Last Horror Movie seems to be pretty polarizing. There are plenty of people that think that this is a 10/10 film about a serial killer doing what he does and putting everything on film for his potential fans and victims to see. And there are those that subscribe to the camp of this offering being dead boring and not worth anyone's time. I thought this was a very solid and well put together affair that plunges the audience headlong into a character study about a man that loves capturing and killing random people for the sake of art, morality and his psychosis just falling apart before our very eyes. If you dig psychology, serial killer documentaries and/or studies, or just looking for something slightly different than what anyone else is probably watching at this moment, The Last Horror Movie will sit in your lap perfectly without asking for a bigger tip or for you to purchase another drink. I'm so fucking tired. Off to bed I go.
