TdSmth5 In the intro some old guy writes a letter. Next to him is some bound girl. Mexicans with guns arrive and he slashes the girl up not before giving one of those villain-in-movies speeches.Some girls travel to "Mexico" (it looks a lot like California) for a bachelorette party. They go to party at the seediest bar they find, but first they buy Mexican trinkets in a back alley where a nice old lady offers to read one of the girls's (Sophia) hand. Of course she sees doom and gloom.At the bar they meet two guys. Sophia ends up going home with one of the guys. She wakes up late the next day and finds out that the other girls have left for a sightseeing tour with two strangers. These end up robbing the girls, shooting one of them in the leg, and leave them somewhere in the desert. One of the girls manages to make a call to Sophia and lets her know that she sees palm trees and a bell tower. The girls make it to the place which once was a resort but little by little the girls start flipping out and becoming aggressive.Sophia recruits her guy and the other guy to ask around but all the locals freak out at the mention of the place with the trees and the bell. That is until they meet the two crooks that offer to take them there. Fortunately on their way, one of the guys realizes that the two are thieves and take action to avoid becoming their next victims.Now they are at the resort and what they find is not at all what they expected.The Last Resort is a very low budget horror thriller with a pretty good idea, a good cast that does its best, but they just can't overcome the low budget. As song as things are filmed in broad daylight the movie looks good, but in lower light, things look pretty bad and of course as a horror movie good chunks of it have got to be filmed at night. As with most movies, little is done to establish the characters. One girl is slutty, the other virginal--that's how far movies will go. But at least the main idea, while not original, is neat--a place of freedom, where people get to explore their wildest, unlimited self--however ugly it may turn out to be, and here it does get nasty and gory.
Vince Zen Okay, so as is my usual habits, I rented this movie and then read the reviews and message boards while opening credits were rolling. For the most part, everybody was in agreement that this movie sucked something fierce, however, I don't really share their opinion. Now as a rule, I WILL give a movie a bad review if it deserves, but in this case, I don't think it does. Essentially, four women end up alone in a deserted resort that has a bloody, ugly past where evil spirits still reside. What makes this story work is A) Interior Mexico is a damn scary place and B) The resort, even in the daytime is creepy as hell. Agreed, the acting isn't top bill Hollywood fair. None of the girls are ugly, but a few are hotter than Georgia asphalt. I wish they'd made the movie a little longer and given a bit more story to the back story, but that's just me. Overall, I thought it was a decent B flick. Don't expect Tarantion or Polanski and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
salem_az First off the film quality was just awful, the music was even worse. It was full of clichés. Five chicks and a haunted resorted full of bad mojo. Everything in this flick is predictable. Girls are in Mexico doing the whole bachlorete party, they all get drunk, one "hooks" up, and of course they get separated, mugged, robbed, shot and lost in the middle of no where. No imagination what so ever. And low and behold shocker.. they start fighting amongst themselves. There was some bad over acting. It was never explained what the bad mojo was beside some voices in the girls head or how it got there. The evil or bad mojo possesses the girls. There is nothing good about this film to say except is was short. I almost turned it off in the first 20 minutes, absolute yarn!!! I had more fun cleaning my toilet!
movieman_kev After a prologue showing a man brutally murdering a bound woman, five girls take a vacation in Mexico to celebrate one of them getting married. After a night of partying four of them are abandoned in the middle of nowhere by some Mexican thugs (the fifth one ,Sophie, got lucky the night before and didn't join them for the little trip) As Sophie and her 'one night stand' guy and his friend look for her missing friends, the other ladies stumble over a strange church/resort that seems to affect them in a bad way.For a movie that's only one hour & 7 minutes (excluding credits), this one sure takes awhile on the set-up. The horror elements don't even really come into effect until the last 10-15 minutes (the guy from the prologue is relegated to just a two short flashbacks and those scenes seem like filler. The movie itself is alright for what it is, i guess. The production values are decent and it did keep me (semi) interested. Of course the ending leaves it WIDE open for a sequel.Eye Candy: Sita Young gets topless, her hair covers her nipples for the most part thoughMy Grade: C-Lionsgate DVD Extras: Only a promo for Break.com; trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Frontier(s)", "The Slaughter". That's all
