Last Straw
A rural roadside diner becomes the host of a maniacal killing spree – leaving a young waitress to clean up the mess. After hard-headed Nancy fires the staff at her dad’s diner, she decides to cover the last shift of the night by herself. Little does she know, she is far from alone. The day is coming back to haunt her and when things begin to spiral out of control, she must fight for her life over the course of one long night.
Why it matters
A tense, claustrophobic slasher set in a rural diner where survival hinges on grit and quick thinking.
- Practical effects and tight, contained setting ratchet up old-school slasher vibes without feeling retrograde.
- Nancy’s hard-headed resilience anchors the chaos—this is a fight-for-your-life thriller with a grounded, tough protagonist.
- Fans of isolated, single-location horrors like *The Night Eats the World* or *Hush* will appreciate the mounting dread and slow unspooling of violence.
- Not reinventing the wheel but delivering solid, no-frills suspense that honors slasher traditions with an emphasis on atmosphere over gore spectacle.
