Best movie of this year hands down!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

From writer James Handel and director Julian Richards comes this reasonably interesting look at the life of a serial killer who decides that he'll document his actions, with the help of a troubled cameraman / assistant (Mark Stevenson), in his attempt to "write the final word on what constitutes horror." Its execution isn't exactly fresh, nor is it ever particularly insightful, but Richards manages to keep it entertaining and watchable. (Even if one isn't impressed, they only have to stick it out for 76 minutes.) It does have some grim, graphic, and uncomfortable scenes, but the main attraction is a charismatic central performance by Kevin Howarth as Max. Howarth is almost the whole show as he sits down and chats us up, asking us what we think of him and assuming that we're condemning his actions. He raises certain moral issues, while passing commentary on the whole idea of voyeurism.Gore and effects work are good; in particular, the immolation scene is impressive. It may be hard for some viewers to take this film as it doesn't shy away from showing imperiled people suffering and pleading for their lives. And all the time Max is maintaining his amused sense of detachment. He is an intriguing bugger, to be sure, as we see him interacting with other people in his life and keeping up the facade of being a more or less "normal", if somewhat eccentric, person on the surface. Where the film really gets more interesting is when Max is encouraging the assistant to increase his level of participation. Not surprisingly, the assistant is too bothered by conscience to be able to sink to Maxs' level of depravity.At least Handel and Richards come up with one entertaining gag, presenting their film as the home movies that Max and his buddy have recorded over the horror film on a videocassette.Overall, this is good but definitely not great stuff that should warrant a look for fans of the genre, even if it's naturally not in the same league as movies that came before it or may have inspired it such as "Peeping Tom" and "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer".Seven out of 10.

A classic, everything about this movie brings chills down my spine. Its a great example of what a b movie horror should be.There is plot twists, scary shocking moments like any good horror movie, but they keep coming out you through out this film. If your any horror fan at all you would never in your wildest dreams miss this movie.There's never any moments when you feel like your going to get let down and the action and anticipation keep you on your edge of the seat till the credits roll. Thats all that needs to be said about this movie, its a great horror film and one not to be missed.

If you watch the movie on TV,it loses at least 80% of its frightening power,so take my advice and rent it.You will find out why.You can call it bad taste ,cynicism ,but this movie is more ABOUT horror movies than a horror movie.Many people may be disappointed .Something like Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom" -which is anyway highly superior to this one and which in 1960 was already a horror movie which made the viewer ill-at-ease - revisited with a faux cinema verite treatment.Kevin Howarth is excellent as the killer who makes all the peeping toms like us feel guilty.And "the last horror movie" could really be your last one!

Alright, I don't even know where to begin for this review. This movie scared me more than any other movie I have ever seen (with the possible exception of "It"... which I saw when I was 8 and from which I will be forever scarred). Now, honestly, I don't scare very easily. It's really practically impossible for a movie to frighten me... I mean sure, I jump like everyone else at the crap that pops out at the main characters in slasher flicks, but it is extremely rare that a movie will leave me sleeping with my light on for days.Basically, I watched this movie alone at night... which, obviously, is the ideal setting to be scared. Now, being as I don't scare easily, I did not expect what I got from this film. The storyline is amazingly original... it consists of a man who has taped over some crappy horror film called "the last horror movie". The man has made a documentary of himself murdering countless victims at random. Interesting, yes... unusually frightening, no. The whole plot really is very darkly comedic. Now, this may seem like it contradicts my previous statement that it's the scariest movie I've ever seen, but, somehow (I don't know how) this film pulls off the best of both worlds- the darkly comedic aspects of any horror film, and the keep-you-up-at-nights terrifying moments. I don't want to give away the ending, because, if you know the ending, it really will ruin the whole movie for you. I told my friend how it ended so she insisted we watch it and, what do you know, she thought it was horrible. I feel like this review has done a bad job at giving you an idea of the plot, but, again, I don't want to give anything away because I really feel like it will ruin it for you, and that is the last thing I want to do because this movie is so genuinely creative and good.Seriously, it's worth a watch. And, while I know that this is not always realistic, I swear to you that you won't regret watching it alone at night. I promise it will scare the crap out of you. I highly recommend this film and I apologize that this comment is lacking in any sort of plot review or in-depth analysis... I genuinely don't want to give anything away because my experience with this movie was so good.
