The Last Audience Reviews

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Claudio Carvalho This movie begins without any development of character or situation. The story is vomited on the screen through awful cinematography of camcorder, terrible dialogs, poor locations and sets and ridiculous situation. The performances of the amateurish cast are histrionic and the edition is terrible. It is funny to read the summary of the plot in IMDb and I do not know where the author found this description since it does not fully correspond to what is shown on the screen. My wife and I are fans of vampire movie and the marketing of the cover of the DVD is extremely attractive. However "The Last" is a complete waste of time and money... and sucks. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Vampiro – Reze Por Salvação" ("Vampire – Pray for Salvation")
horrorfantic Although this movie is not available in the US yet, a friend of mine had a free screener and I was able to catch it.Initial reactions: the films starts off slow and is sometimes a bit hard to follow what is going on with the characters. Some things were left unexplained. You can definitely tell it was low budget, but that does not really detract from the films visuals. I love the grittiness of it, the dark locations, and how it seems to be unfolding rapidly, and I can tell it was shot in SF, totally industrial style locations.As a horror junkie, what I liked the most about this film was that it was almost like a tribute to other B horror films, but it takes an interesting twist of its own. Like the vampire character Miklos can walk in the day and his character is a really interesting take on vampires. I love vampire films. This vampire is really suave and very subtly has the ability to manipulate the other characters, Sean and Christine. There is a great seduction scene in this film where his slave brings him home a girl and he just takes her, in the vampire sense and drinks her dry, all the while she is screaming. Oh man it sent chills up my spine, very well done.The best part of this film is the ending: I mean they really amped it up for this last battle between the vampire and the hero. I wont spoil this because its the ending and its really cool. Great music too.Overall this film is a B horror/thriller film with a few slow spots and could use some more character development. But its a good low budget tribute to other horror films and quite an interesting take on vampires and really fun to watch if you live in the SF bay area.
Paul Andrews The Last is set in San Francisco where Professor Wombat is studying an ancient artifact he discovered at an archaeological dig somewhere in Saudi Arabia, a strange orb like relic with blood inside. Having sent a sample off to a company called GeneTech for analysis the boss of GeneTech Sam Faulkner realises that the sample is something special & unique that could make GeneTech millions & wants more of it, sending a man to get it he ends up killing Wombat & failing to find the orb. One of Wombat's students named Sean Bannister is contacted by a man named Vladimir Myklos (Bruno Kanter) who claims to be a friend of Wombat & ask's Sean to carry on his work. Sean & his assistant girlfriend Christine (Caroline Heerwagen) set about trying to complete Wombat's work & discover why he was killed...Directed by Andy Hill as I write this comment for The Last there are no other 'User Comments' or 'External Reviews' & it doesn't even have five votes yet, this will obviously change in the fullness of time as people see it & feel compelled to write about how it's the worst film ever made but I can have the first crack at it. The script by Tomas Puig is awful, it's quite literally painful to sit through & I should know since I had the deep misfortune to do so a few hours ago. I still hurt. For a start The Last is one of those zero budget films where all the 'action' & incident revolves around the budget, The Last is a film written specifically for a low budget & as such there are no action scenes, there's no gore, the locations are boring & cheap like car parks & road sides, the dialogue is terrible, it's so boring & slow I doubt most people will make it to the end & it provides absolutely zero entertainment value & that's what films are all about right? They are there to entertain for their duration & that's it so when a film such as The Last fails so spectacularly in even this simple yet vital requirement people need to made aware of how bad it is & believe me it is bad unless your a total masochist. The story doesn't make much sense either, why didn't Vladimir just take the orb when Wombat had it? Why does he need the orb anyway? How did he even know about the orb? Why did that hit-man guy phone Sean as he was about to shoot him? The Last is terrible in every conceivable way, if you do decide to watch this awful film don't say you weren't warned!Director Hill was obviously working on a low budget but that is simply no excuse, I don't buy into the 'it's low budget so what do you expect' type argument. Sure it's low budget but that's no excuse or reason as to why The Last is such an awful film, there are plenty of entertaining low budget films out there & I don't think anyone needs to go lightly on it because it had a low budget. It's not like shops are going to sell you the DVD for any less than a hundred million blockbuster equivalent are they? Of course The Last can be compared to any other film & has to be. It looks like it was shot on a camcorder, the photography is appalling, it's often so dark you can't see what's going on & the camera shakes & jerks about & sometimes misses what's going on & ends up looking directly at the floor or the ceiling. There wasn't any budget for special effects, there's a dead body in a pool of blood, someone has blood smeared around their lips & someone is shot. That's it.According to the IMDb The Last had a budget of about $150,000 which does sound quite a lot consider what ended up on screen or rather the lack of what ended up on screen. The production values are rock bottom, I am sorry but if I took my HD camcorder out & filmed some friends & edited it on PC into a film & released it should everyone like it because I tried? Or because I had a low budget? Of course not, it would be crap as is this glorified home movie. The acting is awful, just check the scenes out at the end when that guy's daughter is murdered, he doesn't look very upset.The Last is a truly terrible, terrible film, it's awful in every single way & I honestly don't know how else to describe it. Possibly the worst film I have seen this year beating the also awful Blood Predator (2007). One of the worst films ever, do yourself a favour & avoid this one at all costs.
