The Final Patient (2005)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This was filed over here as horror but I can tell that there's nothing in it to mention horror. It's just a story being told about a doctor having found the fountain of youth. By chance two students are eating their meal while visiting their old town when they hear the story of something supernatural. It doesn't take long before they become friends with the doctor and from there on it's talking and talking and talking until the final 15 minutes were the red stuff comes in and a scary face of the doctor's wife. Why she's berserk isn't explained but I guess she being kept alive by the doctor. The performances are okay but for me there was too much of blah blah going on. And just before the end credits they are trying to put the jump part into the editing but again, predictable. People who love soft horror can easily watch it but for others stay away from it.

First off I want to say don't listen to what "kingdio" said about this movie."kingdio,you had no right calling someone an idiot for liking this movie and then saying they must be deaf and stupid". Not everyone will like this movie that's true but other's will enjoy it. I enjoyed this movie.I liked the slow buildup of the story as the deranged Doctor Green (played perfectly by Bill Cobbs) explains to his visitor's how a potion he created out of snake venom gave him superhuman strength while a storm was raging outside.I liked how Doc Green,Cameron and Willy all sat around his house drinking beer while each had their own motives.It was funny watching Cameron(played by Alex Feldman)trying to manipulate the doctor by getting him drunk.And good acting by new comer Jason Scott Campbell also who played Willy.This is the type of movie where you have to pay attention to the detail of what was being said. The part I didn't like was how the wife ended up turning into a monster.I was expecting their young son Nathan to show up instead,especially after the doctor mentioned that his dead son visits him when it's dark and he fed the boy candy.You never do see the boy other then his grave and I did not understand what all the candy wrappers were for.What the hell was the Doctor doing with all the candy.I think the story would haver been better if the doctor had his son hidden in an upstairs bedroom of his home instead of the wife.It would have been more creepy to see a kid transformed into some kind of a creature because of his father's cruel experiments.I did not understand the connection between the candy wrappers and his wife.The ending was what I didn't like because it doesn't really end like others said.It ends right in the middle of a part of the story in a hospital room.If there is going to be a sequel then I can understand it, but to leave it the way it was does nothing for it and is very amateur.It is a sad way to end a well acted movie.

I don't know what movie the other reviewers were watching, but they must be associated with the production or are family members of one of them to write that type of review. This movie is boring and predictable. The plot, if there is one, is full of holes. This movie looks like a project a failing cinematography student may put out. Warning, I saw this movie under the title: One Step Closer. One can only imagine why the creators are trying to distribute it under a different name... As a side note, this site is here for guidance in helping us pick movies to watch. I cannot understand why it is becoming more and more a vehicle for some people to mislead the general public. I think IMDb should be aware of this!!!

This movie was not only scary, but well executed. BIll Cobbs, Alex Feldman, and Jason Scott Campbell's chemistry added to making the whole story truly believable. Subtle hints throughout the movie explain the outcome of the movie, but of course, many of them are missed until you go back and think about what has happened. There were also some comedic scenes, such as in the bar, and the cocky behavior of Alex, (one of the medical students), as well as the conversations among the bar patrons, that will make you chuckle. The patrons in the sleepy little town where the movie was filmed, seems to be stuck in the seventies... or perhaps, its just small town America. The two college students are certainly a rude awakening to what America has become. A society with its main focus on money, success and greed. You will be taken by surprise as the events of this movie unfold. The story is well crafted and intriguing. Bill Cobbs is at his best!
