In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

THE LAST GREAT WILDERNESS is a weird little Scottish movie. The copy I saw of it was so cheap that it looked like it had been filmed on somebody's Camcorder, although I'm sure that wasn't the case. It's a film that's heavily indebted to THE WICKER MAN in terms of storyline, which sees a pair of disparate characters heading up to a remote village and encountering some very weird locals.If I'm honest I didn't enjoy this film at all. The script is sub-par and the quirky character work doesn't really add anything to the experience. Most of the second half, which is where the interesting stuff lies, is shot in the dark so that it's difficult to see what's going on. None of the characters are remotely sympathetic, and come the end I didn't really understand or care what was happening to them either. Other than minor roles for TRIAL & RETRIBUTION tag-team David Heyman and Victoria Smurfit, THE LAST GREAT WILDERNESS has very little going for it.

This movie was billed as some kind of modern-day wicker-man, but it instead fails to be anything of the sort.Its not entertaining or scary in the least , the only reason it even qualifies for an 18- certificate is because of 5 minutes of mild nastiness right at the end. The movie builds tension and you wait fixed to the screen for the bad stuff to begin in the lonely lodge deep in the Scottish highlands. Instead you get a few mysteries which end up in nothing and are unresolved at the end, and a bunch of guys dressed as tarts at a funeral. The Wicker man this ain't, people. If you see the case in the video store, don't be fooled by the guff on the cover, because The Last Great Wilderness is the last great disappointment.

Two guys on the run end up in an ominous lodge in the Scottish Highlands.
Starts as a road-movie, then hints in a gothic direction, before ending up as a Dogme meets "The Shining" meets the twisted sister of "Together".
Nothing is what it seems.Edgy, bent and in periods very funny from Alastair and David Mackenzie. Not bad, just strange.

This starts out looking like a run of the mill road trip film then suddenly you realise it's tripped into Wicker man territory. Well worth seeing, especially if you're familiar with the atmosphere in the highlands of scotland as its full of subtle references to the attitudes of the location, which really ring true.In a way it's a one actor movie but Alastair Mackenzie does well as Charlie, although for anyone who's seen Monarch of the Glen it's difficult to stop seeing him as Archie. That being said the supporting cast, the usual suspects from the scottish luvies, do well too.Overall a delightful, well observed comedy on the nature of escapisim.
