Here's the description of "Last Girl" from the DVD box and IMDb:"Kidnapped and tortured, elite call girl "#12" must overcome her attackers and fight through a post-industrial hell to avoid the brutal filming of her own death. Last Girl builds to a shattering conclusion you won't soon forget."Sounds good? Maybe, but you won't see anything remotely like this in this film. It sounds like they made the film, realized they couldn't market it by being truthful, and so just made up a synopsis that has some remote connection to the actual film."Last Girl" is a "found footage" film. It starts with some guy coming home to his wife, and he is conveniently filming everything on his video camera. He discovers that his wife has been kidnapped by some group of guys. They tell him that he needs to follow their instructions and continue to film everything. He yells a lot of "Where is my wife?!?" type comments, and is told to go to the house of a woman I think he had an affair with, but the credits say is a hooker. He is told to bring her to another house, which he does, where he meets a whole group of guys who were involved with kidnapping his wife. The hooker is threatened, but the guy saves her and the guy and the hooker spend most of the rest of the movies running around the house looking for his wife while trying to avoid the shadowy group (that, might I add, conveniently disappear for most of the film). Unfortunately, everything that is bad about these type of films is present in spades here. The camera is pointed all over EXCEPT at where we want it to be. We see walls and floors and ceilings and legs and half of people while hearing sounds that let us know that there is something going on that damn, it would be nice to see. Literally 1/2 of the film is walls and floors and stairs while they run around. We never really find out what's going on, and while there's some hint of a snuff film conspiracy that doesn't make sense given what we actually DO see.It's clearly an independent film and I would have liked to like this film more, but there you are. Maybe the filmmakers can actually make the film they described in the synopsis? That sounds interesting.
