The Last Light (2014)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Fantastic!

A Masterpiece!

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.

Well written, made, acted, but there's no pay-off at the end. It's not horror, it's psychological thriller, without much thrill.

Some movies are so bad, they're funny - The Stuff. Some movies are so bad they'll make you cringe - Human Centipede. This movie, however, falls into the 3rd category of bad... the one that is categorized by looking at a movie selection a year later and thinking, "Did I see that one before or not?"Everything about this movie just ranks as unremarkable. I saw a brief synopsis of the movie and figured it had potential. Almost 2 hours later, I'm wishing I had done something else with the past couple hours of my life though... take out the garbage, do the dishes... anything that I could show some result for!The only portion of the movie that gave me the slightest jolt is when I connected "Noah" with "that kid from T2" (Edward Furlong) and it's kind of sad when the pinnacle of entertainment a movie provides comes from playing a "5 degrees of" game with the cast.There's really nothing else to see here in this movie. It tries to steal premises from much better movies like "What Dreams May Come", "Jacob's Ladder" and "Flatliners" but fails at making an original, or at least entertaining story.When the ending came (rather anti-climatically I might add) I was happy just to move on with my life.

Pretty much I see it like this, there was no apocalyptic event. The hospital they were in, which didn't seem like a regular hospital. More like a psychiatric hospital that gave off the impression of purgatory where 7 trapped souls awaited judgment.The "Light" was more in line with Heaven and the "Creatures" were more in line with Hell. As the good ones in the group go into the light, and the bad ones had been consumed by the creatures.Edward Furlongs character seemed to give off the presence of a Lucifer type being. Lurking in the shadows, only known by Jack giving somewhat not so good advice to him.There were what looked to be "patient" files on the members of the group at the end where you see Edward Furlongs character sitting at a desk filing some away and discarding others in the trash. However it showed in Jacks file, he was a Doctor who drove his wife to suicide and that later had committed suicide himself if you stopped to read the obituary inside.The one girl had even asked Jack at one point about his beliefs in Heaven and Hell. Jack seemed to have to come to grips in himself with what it was he had done before he could seek and receive judgment therefore ending the movie because he was the last person to be judged.It had nothing to do with Schizophrenia or any other mental illness like stated in other reviews and compared in no way to Identity. The movie had a lot of potential but lacked a lot of finer details. Was very obscure. You never got to see any of the "creatures".

Molly Hagan will always be Angel from Herman's Head in my mind, and I think the casting was an attempt at tongue in cheek attempting and failing for me by being too obvious. This movie is a very big mess that is just too obvious, and repetitive. Honestly I had to ask out loud at one point "We who Terminator boy?" as there was no sense of reality to the character played by Edward Furlong, and hardly any from the rest of the characters either. There is a lot of acting going on here, but it is the kind done in attempting to reach some form of egress from a bag which happens to be paper. The head towards the light shtick just goes on, and on. More even than my talking about it) I Enjoyed the first 5 minutes or so, it looked like this was going to be a good mind bender that would keep me guessing, however that quickly turned out not to be the case, and here we are now after a very over thought out ending, and so much less thought given to how they got there. Not recommending this to anyone, really there is nothing here that will make it worth your time. Some good actors wasted in what must have just been a money pit for someone. Move on I am going to.
