The Last Horror Film is a slasher movie from 1982, directed by David Winters and starring J'Len Winters, John Kelly, and Joe Spinell. The film tells the story of a wannabe filmmaker named Vinny Durand (played by Spinell), who is obsessed with making horror movies. Vinny lives in New York City, where he spends his days working odd jobs and dreaming about his big break in Hollywood.

One day, Vinny becomes fixated on a famous scream queen actress named Jana Bates (played by Winters), and decides to fly to the Cannes Film Festival in France to stalk her and convince her to star in his next horror film. Once he arrives in Cannes, Vinny starts to follow Jana around and begins to orchestrate a series of gory murders in an effort to get her attention and prove his worth as a horror filmmaker.

The Last Horror Film is a fun, campy slasher movie that pays homage to the horror genre and the cult of celebrity. Joe Spinell delivers a memorable and entertaining performance as the deranged and obsessive Vinny Durand, and J'Len Winters captures the essence of a scream queen perfectly. The film features a number of gory, over-the-top death scenes, including an impalement by pool cue and a decapitation by helicopter blades.

One of the most interesting aspects of The Last Horror Film is the way in which it explores the relationship between filmmakers and their audiences. Vinny Durand is a character who is consumed by his obsession with horror movies and the desire to make his mark on the genre. He is willing to do anything to get his film made, including putting himself and others in danger. At the same time, the film industry and the fans who support it are depicted as equally fanatical and willing to overlook the harm and violence that comes with making horror movies.

Another interesting aspect of The Last Horror Film is its location. The film was shot on location at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, and features numerous cameos by real-life actors and filmmakers, including Caroline Munro, Ken Foree, and director Lloyd Kaufman. The combination of real-life celebrities and a fictional slasher plot creates a surreal and meta-textual atmosphere that is both entertaining and unsettling.

Overall, The Last Horror Film is an enjoyable and well-made slasher movie that will appeal to fans of the genre. It is not a masterpiece, but it is a fun and entertaining movie that delivers on its promise to scare and entertain. The film's commentary on the horror genre and the cult of celebrity is also worth noting, as it adds depth and interest to an otherwise straightforward plot. If you are a fan of horror movies or slasher films, The Last Horror Film is definitely worth checking out.

The Last Horror Film is a 1982 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.6.
