The Last Horror Film
A New York taxi driver stalks a beautiful actress attending the Cannes Film Festival, which coincides with a series of violent killings of the lady's friends.
Why it matters
A sly, under-the-radar slasher that blends stalker thriller tropes with the glamour and grit of the Cannes Film Festival, embodying early 80s indie horror ambition.
- Joe Spinell’s unsettling turn as a desperate taxi driver-turned-aspiring director adds a grimy, obsessive edge rarely seen in slasher villains.
- The festival setting offers a meta-layer, contrasting Hollywood fantasy with brutal reality, predating modern horror’s love of industry self-reflection.
- Practical kills and a creeping sense of dread ground the film despite its modest budget and uneven pacing.
- Perfect for fans of cult slashers who appreciate atmospheric locale play and character-driven menace over high-concept scares.
