Tina Johnson (Mandy Bannon) and Michael Johnson (Ty Jones) have a son, Caleb, but they live an unhappy marriage. They are distant to each other and Michael has a love affair with his secretary Sarah (Meagan Flynn). One night, Tina and Michael buy a derelict building that Michael expects to fix to make money. While showing the large space to Tina, they are surprised by a sadistic stranger and are tortured along the night. Who might be the stranger and why is he doing this t o the couple?"Last Breath" is another horror movie of torture in the style of the franchise "Saw". The viewer never knows the motive for the stranger to torture husband and wife. However, when it is disclosed, it is unbelievably stupid, corny and dull. In the end, after a long session of sadism, love is beautiful (lol). My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "O Último Suspiro" ("The Last Breath")

I am not very eloquent, so hope this review flows well to all who read it. :-) I for one really enjoyed the movie Last Breath. It was described by a friend as a psychological horror film, and since I love horror films, I wanted to see it. Now a days it seems that horror films are all about the blood, guts, and gore. That is one thing I enjoyed about this film is that it wasn't centered on the typical blood, guts, and gore, it used those as effects, but wasn't the staple of the entire film.This film dealt a lot more with the psyche. Many times throughout the movie I would feel that I was beginning to know who/what the bad guy was, only then to have another component thrown in that made me start to re-think everything through. Then at the end, I personally was blown away when the bad guy was revealed. I hadn't seen it coming, but it made sense based on things said and done throughout the whole movie. I was close in my presumptions, but hadn't quite fully seen the "larger picture". There were also many little things through out that I enjoyed due to the possible double meanings, such as the building itself, the door closing, the speaker, etc. I won't go much past that but if you watch the movie, I think you will also see the parallels those items represent.As a few above have mentioned, yes there is a message to this movie, and personally, I think a very good message. Plus, if you enjoy movies that actually make you think, then I believe you will enjoy this one.

I saw it on DVD last night. This is perhaps my indie film of the last 5 year so far. It is hard to name all the reasons in such a short critique. Surely there are not too many films able to take you through the range of emotions that Last Breath does.Going to see a movie is all about expectations to be played with, and I must say that Last Breath takes you much beyond them. I was looking forward to a good scary horror flick. Not only was I scared, but I also ended up meditating about deep issues. So I can say that I found that the purpose for this movie was far greater than just trying to scare the audience. My mind was spinning back throughout the whole film. I believe that a great movie is one that helps the viewer perceive life and the world differently. Last Breath definitely is in this category! Don't miss the fantastic ending to the indie film of the half decade.

This gory thriller sends a message which pulls at your heart after it has jumped into your throat. An American family grapples with the same things most of us hear about in our neighborhoods, marital problems. People in pain making it through another day of misunderstanding each other and blaming. Thinking daily life is hard until the day holding their last breath. I loved the way some of the scenes were framed by the camera. Amidst screaming and sobbing are the fragile human moments captured by the camera which make the viewer connect and appreciate that what horrifies us can be beautiful to behold.
