Leofwine_draca Users seem to be praising this cheapo horror/thriller for its style and above-average direction, but I didn't see any of that. I just saw a cheap, home invasion style thriller mixed with slasher and torture porn elements in the tale of a married couple who are imprisoned and forced to play games by a psychotic killer.LAST BREATH is very cheaply made with barely a script to speak of. Certainly there's little dialogue of note with most of the cast either shouting or screaming their lines. Thus the film quickly becomes a gruelling viewing experience for all the wrong reasons. This is the kind of film I forgot I watched a mere hour or so after viewing, so be warned that you're in for a disappointing time.

fulgurex In the beginning its a couple with problems where he decides to start a new existence with a new woman. Oh, i thought. I've seen such movies before. But then the story develops with a strange man who attacks the couple. The story levels are changing and its not so clear what happens. The man and the woman are separated an being confronted with their fears and their inner minds. The fiend comes closer through the question he asks and the both realize very slowly, that he is nearer to them as they believe. In the end i personally was crying because that was exactly my own problem, what is depicted. Finally i can say: I never had expected this end and only can say without to disclose something, think about being respectful to your family and people who love you. So its a movie which is very close to reality. The idea for such a movie is extraordinary. I gave a ten because i was deeply impressed.

Jeff East Ty Jones poured his heart into this project and it shows on the screen! Great production value and some pretty awesome performances by Ty Jones, Aaron Laue and Mandy Bannon. Ty is a gifted story teller and has a great eye for cinema! Fun to be a part of it and happy to say I had the pleasure to work with Ty and his crew! Cutto's friend! There are some very scary moments in this film and it reminded me a little of Craven's first films and some of Hitchcock's especially with the Jimmy Stewart era! Jones tall and lonely character are what made films work in the 50's and 60's.Jeff East p.s. East could lose some weight for his next role!

civictv I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to see this film at the urging of a friend. As spencerhawken said in his review, the film starts out very much like torture porn, derivative of Saw. This view is further bolster by the fact that like Jigsaw, the Dark Figure seems intent on teaching Michael and Tina some life lesson. But here is where the similarity between Saw and other similar films ends.Through well stage scenes your are brought into the lives of Michael and Tina in a way that you never are in "horror" films, which is to say that you readily suspend disbelief and come to think of them as real people and, as a result come to feel for them and their disintegrating marriage, unlike the nameless faceless cannon fodder in Hollywood horror films. Does anyone really care about anyone in Scream 4? I think not. But to call Last Breath a horror film does not do it justice. It is more a dramatic, suspenseful allegory than a horror film. In the end it has a message, but it doesn't beat you over the head with it. The denouement is unexpected and yet, when it arrives, is completely believable and consistent with the rest of the film without a whiff of deus ex machina.I would strongly urge anyone NOT to avoid this film just because other reviewers have labeled it a horror film. Are there suspenseful and horrific elements? Yes, but when you see the film you will realize why those horrific elements are necessary for Michael and Tina to realize just what they have lost and that, perhaps, they still have hopes for redemption.
