In the intro some old guy writes a letter. Next to him is some bound girl. Mexicans with guns arrive and he slashes the girl up not before giving one of those villain-in-movies speeches.Some girls travel to "Mexico" (it looks a lot like California) for a bachelorette party. They go to party at the seediest bar they find, but first they buy Mexican trinkets in a back alley where a nice old lady offers to read one of the girls's (Sophia) hand. Of course she sees doom and gloom.At the bar they meet two guys. Sophia ends up going home with one of the guys. She wakes up late the next day and finds out that the other girls have left for a sightseeing tour with two strangers. These end up robbing the girls, shooting one of them in the leg, and leave them somewhere in the desert. One of the girls manages to make a call to Sophia and lets her know that she sees palm trees and a bell tower. The girls make it to the place which once was a resort but little by little the girls start flipping out and becoming aggressive.Sophia recruits her guy and the other guy to ask around but all the locals freak out at the mention of the place with the trees and the bell. That is until they meet the two crooks that offer to take them there. Fortunately on their way, one of the guys realizes that the two are thieves and take action to avoid becoming their next victims.Now they are at the resort and what they find is not at all what they expected.The Last Resort is a very low budget horror thriller with a pretty good idea, a good cast that does its best, but they just can't overcome the low budget. As song as things are filmed in broad daylight the movie looks good, but in lower light, things look pretty bad and of course as a horror movie good chunks of it have got to be filmed at night. As with most movies, little is done to establish the characters. One girl is slutty, the other virginal--that's how far movies will go. But at least the main idea, while not original, is neat--a place of freedom, where people get to explore their wildest, unlimited self--however ugly it may turn out to be, and here it does get nasty and gory.

The movie was not that good. The plot was just natural. The acting were not that good and it was too short to explain and show the viewers what is has to say. I had been looking for something but I didn't find it. The casting was weak. I was able to expect what would happen next. The characters are so few. On the other side, this movie may not be suitable for children due to some violent scenes and some sexual contents and languages. The number of harsh words was enormous. I gave it a two out of ten just because it was shot in a nice place. I think it would be better if they placed subtitles to some scenes where in other language was used. I may not recommend it to all those horror fans for the story is weak.

Two days in a row I've been burned by DVD artwork. There are no scenes of a sexy woman in a bikini anywhere in this movie. Why do these movies portray scenes on the DVD art that do not exist anywhere in the movie? It's bait and switch! The acting was mediocre, and the story line was just dumb. The "club" was not believable. It wasn't playing music you would expect to hear at a tourist club, and there were about 7 people there. This movie is so low budget they couldn't even afford to pay enough extras to fill the club. And why cast good looking women if you're not going to show any skin?? Even if they don't have nudity, at least give us them in bikinis at the beach. You may have well cast 5 dudes instead. Girls partying in Mexico and not even a bikini shot??? Who are the idiots who make these movies?? The story line is loosely played out, and it's up to the viewer to figure out what exactly is happening to the girls at the resort. The idea is good, but not done well in any shape or form. A terrible movie. DO NOT RENT!!!

Good looking but really badly acted barely feature length film about a South of the border resort that possesses whom ever ends up there. Starting with a ghoulish opening where a mad man kills a woman only to be killed by the locals, the film shifts to the arrival of a bunch of girls to a resort somewhere in Mexico. They are there for a bachelorette party. After a wild night four of the girls go with two guys from the resort to see the sights only the sights the guys want to see is the girls. Things turn ugly and the girls are stranded, with one of them bleeding. They wander into the cursed resort, but before they do so they call their friend who is still back in her room. Eventually everyone ends up at the cursed resort where the body count sky rockets. What can I say? the gore is good, the rest isn't. Adequately shot the weak cast and script just let it all down, its just dumb. Its 75 minutes you'll never get back
