Seriously... The acting in the movie is so Bad it's actually funny to watch... Feels like watching something from the 70s. Yes the worst actor in the movie is the lead actress Lyn. It's sad

So Bad it's funny

Distractingly low budget
danielladue23 November 2019
I wrote a lengthy, well thought out review, but it wasn't worth it. This flick is one of those new style low budget films that looks like a mix of soap opera and student film. I absolutely hate this trash. Back in the 80's they made gems like Sleepaway camp with low budgets, and now we get horror that looks like it was filmed on an iphone 6... Pretty sad that I mentioned Sleepaway Camp, because the original Angela is in this film, but it's still garbage.
Horror? More like a comedy

The first two stories were comedic rather than horror. Acting was below par. Only the grandma in the second story did her part convincingly. Only the Sea Monkey story had a real "horror story", but the execution was not up to standard.
Very low budget indeed.
Skip this and watch something else.
4 stars given purely for Act II.

The acting is beyond horrible. You could get a bunch of random people off the street and get better performances than you see in this dreadful mess. Why do they even bother putting out garbage on a $1000.00 budget? Do these crap videos even make money? I lasted 10 minutes. Then Fast Forwarded to see if it improves. Not a chance. It's unwatchable. It's that bad, folks.
Some movies you just should skip entirely...

Wow, this was bad!
But wait, I am getting ahead of myself. I was initially lured in by the interesting movie cover/poster for this 2018 horror movie titled "Last American Horror Show". And being an avid horror fan, of course I sat down to watch the movie.
That was a mistake, because this was a massive waste of time. First of all, the movie is very low budget, and the production value of the movie shows that all over. I mean, you can even see the shadow of a guy holding the microphone throughout the majority of the introduction scene of the movie. And they uses vintage footage from the Vietnam war as well. Wow, just wow.
The story was pointless, and you really shouldn't torment yourself to sit through this. And it would have helped if the movie had an interesting character gallery. But that was not the case either.
If this was a horror show, no wonder it was the last!
It should be said, however, that the acting in the movie was, for the most parts, adequate and passable. But the fact that the actors and actresses had absolutely nothing to work with in terms of script or story was just staggering.
I am rating this movie a staggering 1 out of 10 stars. It was just abysmal to sit through. In fact, truth be told, I didn't manage to endure the entire movie, I must admit that I valued my time on this Earth a bit too much to keep going.
"Last American Horror Show" from writer and Michael S. Rodriguez came and went without any impact.

Abysmal
bozabozidar5 September 2023
Anthology of three extremely low-budget short films with the fourth serving as a framing device. It's one thing to make a B-movie that has limited resources such as not being afford to hire extras or only having one location for filming, but all of these shorts are the cheapest amateur garbage, looking like they were filmed entirely with the cheapest phone cameras and having abysmal editing, with audio being so out of place at times that I wondered if there's something wrong with my speakers.
The first short is the simplest most straightforward story about home invasion, completely forgettable and could've been 5 minutes long.
The second one is a dark comedy resembling Gremlins, but it's main problem is that despite revolving around a fantastical creature, the special effects are literally nonexistent. It mostly consists out of actors pretending to be haunted and killed by a scary off-screen creature, but it's just so badly filmed, it's obvious there's no creature whatsoever because the production couldn't even afford even a good prop, instead only showing a few glimpses of a plastic toy near the end.
The third short rips off Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but with way more cannibals. Again, everything is very amateurish, but what I found quite distracting is how a few shots were filmed with a camera that's of considerably higher quality than anything else used in this garbage anthology, so it's distracting how the image gets much clearer and better for just a few seconds here and there.
Finally, I think that the framing story actually had the most potential, since it's the only one that actually has an unpredictable plot twist. However, once again the special effects are nonexistent, and the surprise ending literally looks like just some rough raw footage that should have been heavily edited with some CGI added in, but it's obvious they couldn't afford any of that.

Truly one of the top 10 worst movies I've ever seen. Yet it's also entertaining. Less than b grade acting, perhaps single takes, + + for creativity. Well done to the actors for upholding a poor storyline! All that said, worth a watch, if it's raining, and you are neither mobile, sober or otherwise offered immediate relief from your significant other! Enjoy! I can't think of 600 words to describe this movie though perhaps a cut and paste 30 times to save your souls from the time I wasted watching this garbage will suffice...

Hopefully this IS the last one from this director!

The description shows a promising cast of talent, which led me to believe I was in for a treat. But this comes off as nothing short of a high school film project, using actors he found on Facebook. In short, the acting is beyond terrible! I don't believe their supposed $1000 budget was even used.
Four horror tales, a who's who of veteran horror film actors
walktrex23 December 2018
Three short horror tales, plus a bonus story that wraps the three together. Home Wrecked and Lamb Feed are true horror films. Night of the Sea Monkey: A Disturbing Tale also has comic elements and stars Lynn Lowry who is OVER THE TOP with an incredible acting performance. All of the episodes have horror genre favorites in them. An amazing assemblage of talent. In all, a real treat for horror fans. Contains mature content.
Arch Hall Jr.
sahlgoode3 December 2018
When I saw Arch Hall Jr. in the credits, I just had to watch this. If you're not familiar with his work, you're not alone. He's only done a handful of movies, and most of them were in the 60's. I've Wild Guitar, and The Sadist in my collection, and I'm happy to add Lamb Feed to this one. Out of the 3 vignettes, it was by far the best of the.
Don't take it too seriously, and you'll enjoy it more.

Awful, one of the worst films I have ever seen.
kjjames8113 April 2021
Saw this last night, read good things about it on this site but alas more rigged ratings on IMDB.
Firstly the film itself, two pound budget, if it cost more I can't see where they would have used it.
The acting, bad when it was bad, worse when it was worse. Now o don't mind cheap films, I have seen a lot of them but the acting in this was awful.
The stories ranged from awful to just plain bad, in fact none of them were really good.
Also the film makers should also realise that putting in cheap bloody effects will not take away t how bad this film is, also it didn't add anything to the movie either.
Avoid this film at all costs. I wish I could give it a no star rating.

This low production, but a good example of independent horror shows promise with the stories (done as Act I, II, etc.). Lamb Feed was a good allegory of patriotism (made me think of Lusting's Uncle Sam concept) and Lynn Lowry's performance as aging and "badass" grandma (was not her best) but had some comedic relief.
Felissa Rose, cult icon of the Sleepaway Camp fame in the "Act III" arc story of this anthology. Another highlight was Arch Hall Jr. of the Spider Baby fame. These actors appearances (not necessarily their acting, except Hall was great for Lamb Feed) was the best aspect of this film along with some interesting storylines (Night of the Sea Monkey and Lamb Feed).
Since the low production, I feel the film suffered from editing, not having a strong transition, just name cards inbetween stories with occasional references to the arc storie. Nonetheless, if you support independent horror (like directors such as Rodriguez) it's worth a looksie.

Warning: Spoilers
Beyond the three terror-filled tales that Last American Horror Show has to offer - Night of the Sea Monkey, Lamb Feed and Homewrecked - it also has horror royalty in the cast like Felissa Rose, Lynn Lowry and Arch Hall, Jr.
Yes, that's right, the star of Eegah and The Sadist is in this as the grandfather of an entire town of cannibals ready to sacrifice any folks that wander in. Between that and Felissa going on a date with a man who claims to be Christian and ends up being anything but - and oh yeah, Lynn Lowry dissecting a sea monkey with an electric carving knife - there's some fun stuff in here.
All of these stories started off as shorts which were assembled into an overall longer film with the Felissa-starring framing sequence.
Of course, it's in no way as great as Amicus films or Trilogy of Terror, but you know that going in. In the old video rental days, this would have been a fine fifth film for your five for five bucks for five nights stack. And really, that's high praise around these parts.

This Anthology delivered the goods..

I love Anthologies and to be honest some don't deliver. The Last American Horror Show was a great Watch. It was filled with some cool Horror icons like Arch Hall jr,Felissa Rose and Lynn Lowry. I liked this film as all the segments are completely different. Some have a little humor. Some are down right chilling. I got to say this was a fun friday night watch. I hope this isn't the last from Director Michael S Rodriguez as my friends and I enjoyed this ride and look forward to more..
More then I expected
Saul-914021 February 2020
1st of all I am not a horror film type of person, but I had the opportunity to meet some of the people involved in this film, so I decided to give it shot. I knew it was a low budget film and I sincerely did not have any high expectations, yet when you actually watch the entire film you will realize some the actors really did an outstanding performance, I seriously enjoyed the performance by Lynn Lowry, she certainly stole the show and made the film worth it. I am extreme upset and sad by the negative comments some people have left here, they forget that besides the fact that this is a film, there is real humans behind it working to make a living, is one thing not to like the film, but to get into insults and the appearance of the actors, it just shows how low of a human been someone can be. If you want to criticize the film is fine, but criticize the actor's appearance, is all time low only cowards use. This people are actors, not models. And in case anyone wonder, no I do I haven't had the pleasure to meet the actress I mentioned.
Great indie film!
