If you were a fan of Henry, Portrait of a serial killer, then this is a show for you. Done through a hand held camera style film I think its a must see. It does a lot for the horror genre. A stone cold killer in Max, we see everything through his eyes and his perspective. It is funny at times but never drifts away from the raw, brutal savagery of a serial killer. It will not be everybodys cup of tea but like I said if you enjoyed Henry then see this film. I give it 5 stars because I loved this film. Being a horror fan I thought this film gave the genre a much needed wake up call just for the simple fact thats its not just your typical slasher flick. A photographer by day and a serial killer all day and all night!

Basic plot. A killer has taped over a bad horror movie and has recorded his own diaries on it. While the viewer views him we see what type of person he is and follow him when he makes his killings. An amazing film shot all in cam corder style with lots of shots of the killer talking to the audience questioning us on our views of horror and him as a person. A smart and quite nasty horror which will make you think for a long time after viewing. If you like films like man bites dog its the horror version of that. A must see for all horror fans.

Men or women - I don't really care," smirks serial killer Max Parry as he calmly pulls a hammer from his back pocket and bashes in the brains of a passing traffic warden. A few minutes later, he's throttling a woman to death in her car and then, before you've had time to draw breath, he's dismembering a man in his bath and serving up the cooked remains to his own granny. Gore blimey. The words sick as hell or sensationally unpleasant don't even come close - but those with a strong stomach are in for a treat with this horrifically-funny Brit flick. It turns out that when he's not hacking, slashing and burning anyone in his path, Max is a doting uncle and wedding photographer. There's no deep message here - he kills simply because he enjoys it. Although the serial killer video diary has been done before (comparisons with Man Bites Dog are inevitable), The Last Horror Movie is still great fun, mostly thanks to a rip-roaring performance from Kevin Howarth as the killer.

Oh Dear
Awful bloody film. You can smell how desperately clever they all thought they were being, and picture the smugness with which they came up with the idea. Read more

Good film worth watching
A good movie with a good story at it's heart. I didn't find it that scary but worth worthing.

So original and twisted that I won't even tell you the first thing...
I love this movie, but it's well-nigh impossible to review. If I even begin to describe this film in any way, I'm going to do the story a disservice - and I'm going to rob you,... Read more

About as scary as Mr Ben
Part of me wondered what the hell The Last Horror Movie was bringing to the party because its pretty much a remake of Man Bites Dog but with an English sense of humour. Read more
