The Last Horror Movie - DVD
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2005 11:26 am
Grubbily authentic and shockingly brutal, The Last Horror Movie is one sick little puppy. A micro-budget Brit horror pic about ordinary madness caught on camcorder, it takes reality TV to the limit and beyond. Silver-tongued serial killer Max Parry (Kevin Howarth) invites us to watch as he shoots a fly-on-the-wall documentary about his working practices. Billed as "an intelligent film about murder", it's a snuff movie showcase of Max's greatest hits overlaid with his suave, amoral commentary about the nature of killing. Looking more like an investment banker than a serial killer, Max is an ordinary middle-class suburbanite who shoots wedding videos by day and snuff movies by night. A remorseless psychopath with a flair for self-promotion, he wants to prove that we're all capable of murder. Following in the mockumentary footsteps of sardonic Belgian serial killer flick Man Bites Dog, director Julian Richards' film is far more disturbing than its premise might promise. Richards doesn't flinch from showing murder most foul in all its grisly detail.
