kayzmanoski This film is one of the extremely rare type of films that relies on complete originality and risk yet makes it into a classic that parallels those of Stephen King such as Carrie in the dynamics of the unravelling of the act, and executing the sinister but brilliant finish. As a film connoisseur I must admit this is one of the rare risks of a film that turns out brilliant, the acting was fine but the concept and the plot of this movie along with the vilanious character will absolutely leave you filled with joy if you like original concepts executed in a classical way, yet still retain a signature of the director's unconventionality and uniqueness. The vilain of this film makes you secretely cheer for him, and I would place the vilain of this film in top 20 vilains of cinema of all times.

bowmanblue Like most horror fans, people will know Robert Englund best for his portrayal as spikey-fingered immortal nut-job, Freddy Kruger. No doubt about it – he was great. Whether he was darkly evil in the first few films, or comically evil in the franchise's dying days, he always turned in a good performance. Which is pretty much why I gave 'The Last Showing' a chance. I wish I hadn't.It's about a couple – the girl from The Inbetweeners 2 and one of the guys from Game of Thrones – who watch a midnight screening of a horror film, only to find that the projectionist (Englund) is intent on making his own – murderous – movie. Sounds good. And, to be fair, the PLOT is. In fact, it could have been so much more. As it is, the two 'good' leads are pretty damn awful. Now, I'm guessing this isn't the actors' fault, as I've seen them both in the afore-mentioned shows and they're both capable of turning in decent performances. They just don't here.I cringed when they were first introduced as they wandered around the empty cinema, spouting *supposedly* knowing social commentary on the state of horror/slasher films in general. Tip to film-makers: just because it worked well in the 'Scream' franchise, doesn't mean it'll work every time.By the time Englund goes off the rails and starts torturing them, we're almost on his side. After all, he is – by far – the best performer in the movie. And he's the nut-job baddie. If you're a massive fan of Englund, you'll probably get more than most out of it. I did enjoy watching him, it's just he wasn't in it enough to really save it from being anything other than a – questionably-acted – B-movie.

kosmasp 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

chrismackey1972 The synopsis on IMDb didn't make this sound very good, and I almost skipped watching it. The only reason I did watch it was because I like Emily Berrington. She was great in 24: Live Another Day, as well as in The White Queen. Robert Englund always ads a sense of fun in the horror/slasher genre. Finn Jones is good in Game of Thrones, so here's my review British lovers, Allie (Barrington) and her boyfriend Martin (Finn Jones), go to see the last showing of The Hills Have Eyes 2 and find they're the only ones in the theatre. Stuart (Englund) is a disgruntled cinema employee who is working as the concessionaire. He slips some drug into Allie's drink, just before she and Martin go into the movie. From there, Stuart proceeds to make his own movie, even though the actors - Allie and Martin - are less than willing participants.The movie is well done, and the acting is good. The ending isn't what I expected, so I was pleased by that. I like being surprised. I don't know if this was exactly what would be called a low-budget, because all three of the stars are hardly no-names, and they probably were not cheap, but then again, none of them are especially sought after either.I gave it a 6-star rating, because the story was original, as was the setting for it. I liked the cinematography, and the script was pretty good. I don't know that I'd watch it again, but I would recommend it. However, there are no jumps, but it was still fun enough for what it was.
