I don't know how I feel about this film really. It's a very low budget film and at times it's silly and ridiculous (the beginning of the film had me rolling on the floor laughing my you know what off). But then there are parts of brilliance in it too. For example, at the end where Michael (Ryan Vania) is writing a letter asking the kidnapper to grant him his last request, it's like something taken out of a Shakespeare play. The Last Request has me laughing at it and liking it a lot at the same time. I will say this, it's a film that could have a lot of cool prequels and sequels. Like the scene where John(Dallas Ryan) talks about his time in foster care. That would be an awesome prequel! Especially with a bigger budget and a lot more horror to boot!! Also, a sweet prequel would be showing John as the serial killer as he goes on his killing spree (if he really is the true serial killer as I still think the verdict is out on that one).

Spotty Film
starwarsnutr26 September 2021
Tubi Tv has some odd films, this one being one of them. This film had me scratching my head asking why. There wer some decent moments in it but it was very spotty all over. It did have great music all around in it, that is something it had going for it.
This is the worst movie I have ever seen
Jalow54718 September 2020
When I say that this is the worst movie I have ever seen, I don't mean that in a vague, exaggerated way. I'm not using hyperbole to suggest that it is simply a very bad film. I mean that this film, The Last Request, is without a doubt the very worst of the thousands of films I have seen in my life.
Everything about it is very bad. The script, which is the best thing about it, is awful. It may have worked with a few rewrites, but it feels like they rushed through this to make a film as fast as they could. It's interesting, because during the credits we see that they actually had quite a bit of filmmaking gear on set, more than many low-budget productions, but they still managed to screw everything up.
If I could ask the filmmakers one question it would be whether they purposely made a bad film. There are many examples of films like this that are so ineptly made as to be entertaining, such as The Room and the films of Neil Breen. And people who see those films say that no one could make a film that bad if they tried. But I suppose it's possible, although unlikely, that these filmmakers set out to do just that. If so, bravo. They are geniuses.
But if not, this movie is baffling. It appears they made every wrong decision they could make. I understand that these guys wanted to make a movie and nothing was going to stop them, but it really feels like they rushed through it as quickly as they could. In addition to all the other problems with the movie, the filming and editing both feel very sloppy and lazy. It's as if they didn't even watch their final cut before releasing it. The ADR is the worst I've seen in my life. I don't feel bad for taking this position; they definitely could have made a better film if they'd put in a little more work and tried just a little harder, so they have no one to blame but themselves.
At the very least, you would hope that they would learn something from making this film. But the mistakes they made were so glaringly bad that, even if they'd never made a film before, they should have already known better just from living. And now it seems they've made a second feature and made nearly all the same mistakes again. I will say this, however: their new film 48 Hour Drinking Spree is a comedy. I have watched the first ten minutes of it and, while it still suffers from many of the same mistakes as this film, the jokes at least work half the time, and that's point of a comedy.
As for The Last Request, it is interesting due to the so very inept filmmaking that went into it. It is worth watching for that reason, if you're into that sort of thing. You probably won't learn from their mistakes though, unless you're a filmmaker who is also a toddler.

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

This is so bad it's entertaining. I'm not sure what is worse: the acting, the writing, the hilariously inept directing, the prepaid phone it was shot on, the editing by butcher knife and hatchet, the sound that was recorded by a deaf man...take your pick. Watch only to laugh at the fact that anyone can make a movie but most should certainly not.
I don't get it
samanthamillerrrr5 August 2021
I watched their other ridiculous film 48 project spree. I couldn't stand it. I like him thogh when I follow him. I decided to watch this film even though I know i was going to regret it. I just don't get it. I don't get what was going on. I liked music but it was crazy to. What is going in the movvie!!
Many Metaphors
joshmmmm7 January 2020
I wanted to see what this producer had in mind for the film. The Last Request is enriched with many metaphors. For example, the film starts out being a nice sunny day but then the foreshadowing shows it go gloomy, rainy and then darkish.
I felt the story was impressive and scary in it's reality about people. How everything ultimately affects our psyche and shapes us into the human beings we become.
And lastly, for someone who was personally in the foster care system, I cried at the foster care scene. The foster care scene was horribly scary in the fact that what was said about the foster care system was true. And I can personally attest to this. It doesn't stuff always happen that way in the foster care system but it does happen.

Fun low budget movie
catcha226 April 2020
This is the kind of movie that my friends would not want to watch and they'd make fun of it because they think it is not good because it is different from the movies they like. Yeah, it's low budget but that doesn't mean it is not good. It is very good. It was made I think by some high school kids and they did a good job with what they had to work with. They made a whole entire movie and I'm proud of them, and the acting is even o.k. if you don't think about it too much. And now the same guy is making a new movie called 48 Hours Drinking Spree which is a comedy unlike this one but the name sounds very funny. I can't wait!
Was Kind of Decent
jhrum2 January 2022
got good at the end
cgea-492584 September 2022
I wont lie the beginning of this film was so bad i almost peed my pants laughing so hard. As the film went on it got better and it ended well. Beginning of the film very bad. Rest of the film pretty good. The dog was interesting to. Would like to see more of what might be. I would like to have seen the face of the person without spoiling anything i wont say what person. This film kind of reminds me at times of saw and phantasm. Wanted to see gore and all that good stuff which there wasnt any of that but still a good story i think all together. Really positives though were story acting and music. The music really kept me involved.
All about the actions
pgmezlove1 April 2022
I rented the sketch comedy movie and it was kind of funny. I looked up what else the director had done and found The Last Request online. This film is a complete 180 from the SCM. A hardcore drama. This film is about karma if you believe in karma. The film points out how our actions ultimately lead to our own demise. The Last Request isn't perfect nor is it a great movie but it is pretty good.
