Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Best movie of this year hands down!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This film isn't horror, its very unique bizarre drama. Its still very good drama, quite amusing in some places and uses the art of suspense and subtlereferences to classic horror films to keep the viewer engaged. Charlie is in Scotland hoping to burn down the house of a celebrity who hasnicked his wife when Vincente throws himself upon his mercy in a motorwayservice station. Charlie is obliged to take Vincente in his car where they do a great deal of male bonding on the road. They run out of petrol on a verydeserted patch of Scottish highland and are forced to take 'refuge' (being the operative word) in a lone manor house, miles from anywhere, where there aresome very strange characters residing. The film centralises on the characters exercising their own demons by beingsurrounded and supported by other dysfunctional people who have their ownproblems. The film ends with some shocking violence. To be fair, its a veryunrealistic story and quite confusing at some points but if you, as like thecharacters of Charlie and Vincente are looking for some escapism, 'The LastGreat Wilderness' could be for you.

I don't want to say this is a bad film because I think I was expecting too much from it. A couple of reviews had lead me to believe it was similar to 28 Days Later and Dog Soldiers (Both of which I really enjoyed).The film began well enough and I think it is an interesting idea. However, by the closing credits I was left underwhelmed, disapointed and most importantly confused.Maybe there was some signifigance to the ending but if there was, I sure didn't get it.Despite this, I would say it is definatley a film worth watching.

Saw this movie this evening as part of the local film festival - really thought it was great. The script was really rather unpredictable, and very funny. Casting, acting, writing, etc all came together to make it a great film.The Wicker Man comes up often with this film, deservedly so - not that it is in any way a rip off, quite original actually - it's just the vibe you get. It was really interesting to be so completely outside the people in the retreat when Charlie and Vince arrive - it was so difficult to tell what was going on, and the audience kind of gets to figure it out with the main characters - a neat device. I was thrown off a bit by Vince's last scene in the film - it did not seem to fit with the pace of the movie. I'm glad that it made it out of Scotland. so the rest of us can see it!!

This starts out looking like a run of the mill road trip film then suddenly you realise it's tripped into Wicker man territory. Well worth seeing, especially if you're familiar with the atmosphere in the highlands of scotland as its full of subtle references to the attitudes of the location, which really ring true.In a way it's a one actor movie but Alastair Mackenzie does well as Charlie, although for anyone who's seen Monarch of the Glen it's difficult to stop seeing him as Archie. That being said the supporting cast, the usual suspects from the scottish luvies, do well too.Overall a delightful, well observed comedy on the nature of escapisim.
