The Last Horror Movie (2003)
Interesting and original
The Last Horror Movie is an interesting idea well executed. The basic idea for the film is that the viewer has rented out a video named The Last Horror Movie from their local videostore, and 2 minutes into a normal and quite lame horror movie, they find that the film has been taped over by a mad psychopath named Max. Max informs the viewer of who he is, and that he is a mass murderer, and then shows the viewer some murders that he has committed.
The movie itself is a cross between Peeping Tom and Man Bites dog, in that it is a fake home-made documentary of someone filming himself committing murders, so if you rented the movie without knowing what it is, you will be afraid that once it comes to an end, so will you as you will be nervously afraid that Max will knock on your door.
I watched this movie at a special preview in Brighton with a Q&A (What meat was it really?) session with the director and the actor who played Max. Although the idea of it means it should play extremely well on video to an unsuspecting viewer, it also plays well on the big screen, except with the added releaf that it is just a movie after all.
