Stars: Robert Englund, Finn Jones, Emily Berrington, Keith Allen, Malachi Kirby, Chris Geere | Written and Directed by Phil Hawkins
Shot right here in good old Blighty, The Last Showing is the latest in a relatively small line of horror movies set in the cinema, films such as Popcorn, Midnight Movie and Demons, films that I consider (especially in the case of Popcorn) some of my personal favourites.
