7/10
An amazing surprise!
17 May 2023
Despite it's low user score on IMDb, "The Last Horror Film" or "Fanatic" is competently made and acted meta horror movie 4 years before "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives" and 14 years before "Scream". In fact, fictional movie "Scream" and "Stab" are mentioned in this movie. Was Wes Craven fan of this movie? But I digress. "The Last Horror Film" is a psychological horror movie depicting a loser who is obsessed with a famous actress. He then proceeds to stalk her at the Cannes Film Festival. The whole thing isn't scary and even has some comedic moments, but it's very well made and definitely worth the watch for genre fans. Let it also be said that the movie showers the viewer with nudity and good nudity at that! Joe Spinnel is great in the main role and the whole thing really feels made by someone who knew what he was doing. Also, the music in this movie is great and I didn't hear a single bad track in the whole movie. All in all, while not perfect or God forbid tense or scary, "The Last Horror Film" is a great piece of fun and good filmmaking and I wholeheartedly recommend it to real genre fans. However, the casuals should skip it as I doubt they would find anything to love here. 7/10!
