Felix Felixus Well, I just finished this movie. It's interesting but my Summary pretty much says it all. I put off watching it because I thought it had Stephen Dorff (the hot one) and not Brad Dourif (voice of Chuckie). I think you have to be from the south and/or understand a southern mentality to kind of appreciate the disturbing mental drain that is played out in the movie. There is a great deal about the plot that is very messy and oddly placed. I mean honestly it reminds me of the old series Tales from the Crypt. It isn't really SCARY as I thought it would be. It's more drawn out and disturbing more so than anything else. It was shocking to think that the soft male lead is that long-haired pot smoker in the TV series Mom. Wow he went from twink to stud! You probably should skip this movie unless you are looking for a take on a ghost story meets Romeo and Juliet meets some strange bits of supernatural incest. It would have been better if they had cut out most of the actors/scenes and spent more time building Amanda's back story.

Sean Jump Last Kind Words is a reflective, atmospheric film rich in character and drama. It is not a typical horror movie, and in fact horror fans attracted by the promotional art may be disappointed at the lack of gore or special effects.The story begins when young Eli's parents move to an isolated farm to begin a new life. Eli's father drinks too much and is haunted by a memory that won't let go of him. Bored and restless, Eli goes for long walks in the nearby woods in search of peace. There he meets Amanda, a pretty young girl that Eli quickly takes to. But the farm's owner warns Eli that Amanda is dangerous. What kind of danger lurks within the forest, and what secrets wait for Eli to discover them? This is a somber, sometimes deceptively quiet movie that works because of traditional movie-making elements that are well-executed from beginning to end. Direction is unobtrusive but well balanced, and the acting from the small cast (primarily Eli and his parents and Amanda, with Brad Dourif as the only "name" actor as the reclusive farmer) is for the most part quite good, though it's no surprise the benchmark performance goes to Dourif. The script makes sense, unlike some genre screenplays which throw logic to the winds and hope nobody cares, and in the end you understand why everything turns out the way it does. The Kentucky setting is evocative and the simple country setting is not only picturesque but at times eerie and disconcerting.Though not the horror movie some who approach this film may be expecting, Last Kind Words is in fact much better than most low-budget productions of whatever genre. Sensitive, touching, and yet creepy in its subtle way, Last Kind Words will entertain you while you watch it and linger in your mind's eye for some time thereafter.

Hendrixreligion6 I loved this movie and that is more than I can say for 99% of the horror/supernatural movies I have seen on Netflix. Last Kind Words is the kind of movie that leaves you feeling a little dead inside when it's over(pun intended) but in a way that is both stunning and haunting. The story is simple yet effective and allows this movie to entertain and scare without having to be cliché, overly gory, or loaded with special effects. I went into this movie expecting very little and got way more than I bargained for. I will not sit here and tell you this is the best movie I have ever seen or even that of its genre but I can tell you if you watch this movie you will not be disappointed.

MissOceanB I find there are elements in this film which would strike a chord somewhere within with each viewer. The story, the scenery, the actors were all excellent. A few parts reminded me of Elvis & Annabelle, but aside from that, the films are very different. It is quite a daunting task to review this film without giving away too much (which is why I recommend viewing it!). Imagery and symbolism are well used which made the film that much more interesting and beautiful. Yes, there are some moments that may cause some to shudder or "jump", but they are few and far between. The film does well in exploring life and death and even modern history. There is a great melodic/ballad song that plays at times which also really made the film. Worth watching!
