Again, I only had time for one movie on day 24, so I made it a film I'd been wanting to see for a while- The Last Horror Film (1982). Last Horror Film is a better than average slasher flick. Joe Spinell (Maniac) plays an obsessed fan of an upcoming horror movie starlet who travels to the Cannes film festival to convince her to be in the movie he's written. With the line between fantasy and reality becoming increasingly blurred for him, he gorily disposes of anyone that gets in his way. Apparently Joe Spinell's real mother played his mom in the film, and she's the most hilarious part of this movie. The Last Horror Film walks a fine line between horror and comedy without sacrificing either. If you're a fan of slasher films, this is definitely a must. 8 out of 12 beers.
I really enjoy this one despite its obvious shortcomings of budget and having to film guerrilla style. Spinell was a damn fine actor who will probably never get the credit he deserves.
