The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

This movie has got to be one of the worst, if not the worst horror films of all time. Not only does it not incite any form of terror, but is a script basically written by a kindergartener:Old Woman: Your friends are at a resort Heroine A: What kind of resort?Basically the story revolves around a group of girls who take off to an island paradise for their friend's bachelorette party, within minutes they are all partying like crazy, eating cake, getting soused, and making moves on random guys who claim to be movie producers, one of which comes clean about being a school teacher minutes later and is quickly bedded. As our main heroine (not the bachelorette) is making footprints on the ceiling her friends continue to get soused and decide to take a tour of the island with two locals the next morning. After driving for a short while one of the tour guides pulls a gun and tries to rob them, two of the four girls run from the car, one pulls her cell phone to call her friend and the other just screams. The bachelorette manages to run furthest from the car before getting shot and wounded... Meanwhile we see our main heroine get the message from her friend and immediately dial 911 to get laughed at because her friends were missing for only four hours. The girls are dropped in a barren wasteland and wander to find a resort. Within minutes inside the resort they begin to insult each other and call each other names for no apparent reason. The haunting of the resort is lazily explained in a random note found in a room with very weak flashback scenes. I could go on and on but I don't want to feel dumber. The ending is weak, and if this film thinks it can define stir crazy over just a few minutes of being in a given location it is sorely mistakened. This movie completely misses in terms of fear and terror, and should stop trying to be like "The Shining" immediately.

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.

bad things happen at a resort in the desert in Mexico. the resort is now cursed and anyone who goes there gets possessed and they do bad things to people they would normally would not do bad things to. decent storyline that could have had possibilities but bad acting and writing make it a movie to watch only for the attractive women that are in it. America olivio is hot. the other girls are pretty hot. there's only one decent nude scene but its not America. the movie is only about 70 minutes long. the copy i rented had no extras. i cannot recommend this movie for viewing unless its your last resort. thats all i can really say about this movie.
