This is one of those movies where you are drawn in by an intriguing concept, slowly making you wonder how it all fits together. It then proceeds to annoy you by failing to deliver on it's premise, which soon wears thin. Confusingly marketed as post apocalyptic, this movie quickly grows dull as soon as a man walks around the empty streets of London for fifteen minutes before anything happens. The seven people don't meet up until halfway through the film, by which I had lost all interest.It got worse when the 18 rating seemed to promise many startling, gory moments, yet nothing in the film comes close. It fails to be scary when it should, with only a few scenes being even remotely tense. What I was led to expect was a terrifying post apocalyptic horror with suspense elements, yet what I got was one of the most half assed efforts in recent movie history. This is only made worse when the demonic presence hunting the seven is actually an angel taking them into the afterlife, which removes any intensity the movie had to begin with. The worst part was that even after all of the story is connected, much is left that doesn't make sense. This is made worse still by unnecessary religious imagery that does nothing to advance the already nearly nonexistent plot. It does keep a nicely creepy atmosphere, yet too little happens for this to remain effective.In all, The Last Seven is a boring, confusing movie lacking decent plotting, acting, gore effects and scares, ruining an amazing premise with inept direction and a nonsensical script. This does get a 3 because it does have a few genuinely tense scenes and a story that makes you feel great to be able to piece together. Another strength is that despite it's post apocalyptic premise, it doesn't go for the obvious and predictable. Maybe, one day, this premise could be made into something worthwhile. Overall, it isn't the worst thing ever made, but considering the cast, premise and ideas behind it, it should have been much better.Also, this movie should have been 15, or 12 without language. Nothing in here is really harsh or violent.

I actually thought the opening scenes were brilliant and fascinating to watch, albeit he was wandering streets around Bank which are deserted for much of any weekend, but enough to reel you in & put yourself in the position, particularly on Tower Bridge.But the film then achieves a feat, surely never done before but going rapidly downhill the moment other characters & words are introduced into the plot.It never really goes anywhere after that, the opening 50 minutes felt more like the opening episode of The Last Train, Survivor, or a relatively low budget TV mini series, when you realise there's only 30 minutes left and the film hasn't really started.It then all gets even sillier, even more unrealistic and uninterested characters, you've never cared one iota for disappear with the help of over the top editing and flashbacks.You can't help wondering why not one of them, ever got into a car or on a bike and rode off somewhere, instead of walking for 10 minutes, then stopping to rest for a few hours.Worth watching for the first 15 minutes, then you're better off making up your own film from then - with the likelihood it'll end up better.

This film started similar to that of 28 days later, and tries to recreate the atmos of a deserted London, the line 7 million people until today...did have some intrigue, but this was soon dispersed....a guy(William) wakes up in the middle of the road in the financial district of London, and he wanders around in silence for about 15 minutes...vandalises a car in the vain attempt to see someone. He eventually meets up with a Drunk Henry, a young girl named Chloe,a military Sargent armed with a rifle called Mason. They too have no memory, and aimlessly wander the streets.The tension is poorly attempted by having a first person camera angle watch this trio, given the impression that they are being followed. This does not add any suspense and frankly destroys the atmosphere it tries to create, also the quiet whispering and blue lights which only adds to the confusion of why these characters are all alone in London.A few bizarre flash backs trying to keep the suspense, which in turn fails to add intrigue. and the four link up with a further trio Issac, Isabelle and Robert....you soon realise that they are all linked to one another. Big surprise. Chloe is Henry's daughter, Robert is Masons Captin, William is a reporter on the story of the young girl, but Henry forces a cover up, Isabelle is linked to Issacs wife....but Issac appears to be the loner, quoting from the bible and is oddly silent most of the time, the seven aimlessly wander the streets trying to find a reason. One unconvincing theory is a dirty bomb was detonated and everyone was evacuated. would have been more believable if the actors were not so stiff in front of the camera, and the lines were delivered with some skill, they all seemed to lack a sense of direction, no real vibe was felt with these actors, they all just waited their turn to deliver their lines and didn't react well together. Danny Dyer plays a small cameo role, black hoody, bandaged and blood coming from his eyes, He hunts each of the seven and succeeds in taking a few out. This character should have had more time on the screen, but i assume that this to add that air of mystery.The occurrence of the young girl who appears on a few occasions tries to give you some diretcion to the plot, along with the flashbacks, which is frankly weak. A girl is kidnapped and two armed men who you can possibly guess are special forces go to rescue her (Robert and Mason), but she is killed. Which then leads to the father, Issac, wanting to act his revenge on those involved and covering it up.Which leads you to the final conclusion all the characters were in a restaurant and Issac blows him self up with a nail bomb killing everyone, but Chloe who for some reason gets a second chance, and has starred the "grim reaper" (Danny Dyer) in the eye.The plot was weak, the acting poor i would have thought that Issac played by Ronan Vibert would have added some class, but it lacked any sense of direction, this film with the proper director and someone that could actually write a suspenseful script would have been so much better, if this was filmed by Hideo Nakata it would have been awesome.I had some hopes that this would be a good UK film but I am left thinking why the hell was this created.

Reading the synopsis I had quite high hopes for this movie which was rapidly vanishing after the first 15 minutes which consisted of a bloke walking around the deserted streets of London's financial district. The long drawn out fifteen minutes of nothingness may impress someone who has never walked those same central London streets at Dawn on a Sunday morning but it doesn't really work for someone who has. I got the distinct impression the makers were trying to force a point here which went way past its premise of a deserted major City. The obviousness of it had me concerned for the rest of the movie.Eventually our lone walker meets up with a trio, and they meet up with another trio and from there on in there's a lot of long drawn out scenes with intermittent quick flash editing that was intended to scare or intrigue. Im not really sure which but it didn't work.While I have no doubt most of the seven cast have decent acting abilities, their performances were wooden. Mind you its not as if they had anything meaty to really bounce off so those performances were really down to the directors vision. You cant just put some people in front of a camera, give them some lines and hope for magic, particularly with a movie like this which should provoke the audiences senses. Then again a number of lines in the script are quite appalling, as if they were written by a secondary school drama club. But surely the director must have known those lines were just plain bad and could have done something about them.For me the movie just plodded along until it came to a point where I was jeering for it to end. I had twigged on quite early their particular circumstance but how it lead to that I didn't know until the very end, so I do give the makers some points for that. In general though it was a rather garbled affair. Yes, it has a sense of continuity but it wasn't glued together very well. Its a movie that may very well have looked just smashing on paper, but hasn't translated so well to the screen.As indie movies go it is by no means the worst, far from it. Its shot quite well, does have some atmosphere, and can keep you interested. If you haven't seen something in this genre before it may well keep you very interested. But I've seen a lot of these psychological horrors flicks and this one falls short of the mark. Compared to another one I reviewed 'The Broken' now there's a movie that really gets to you on a psychological level. One of the death scenes in that movie still makes me feel uncomfortable a year after watching it. There no gore, its just incredibly moving? or disturbing? I cant really describe what it is. If The Broken cant scare you nothing will.I cant recommend the movie and I cant not recommend it. As I said, if you haven't seen this type of flick before you may very well enjoy it.
