The Last Matinee
Al morir la matinée
In 1993, spectators at the last screening of a horror film at a downtown cinema fall one by one into the hands of a sadistic and ruthless killer.
Why it matters
A slasher set in the dying days of the VHS era that’s as much a love letter to movie theaters as it is a blood-soaked kill spree.
- Practical effects by KNB EFX bring brutal, tactile gore that recalls early ’90s grindhouse classics.
- Nostalgic yet fresh, it captures the dread of a closing cinema as a metaphor for cultural shifts in horror consumption.
- Perfect for fans of retro slasher vibes who crave atmospheric tension alongside inventive kills.
- The killer’s relentless, methodical stalking taps into the claustrophobic terror of being trapped in a familiar, now-hostile space.
