The Last Cabin is a very low budget found footage horror film, which has flaws, but also has some decent moments, too.
The Last Cabin Synopsis
Trapped in a remote cabin, a film crew finds themselves stalked by three masked men who know the isolated forest and their every move.
My Thoughts on The Last Cabin
After watching Livestream, where it took about 45 minutes for anything to really happen, I was grateful that The Last Cabin wasted little time in getting going.
No long montage of people setting up cameras, no drawn-out backstory, and thankfully no pointless nonsense, as this one gets straight into the creepy shit. Thank Christ for that.
And even better, the film is only around 75 minutes long, and that’s not even a proper movie, that’s just a long YouTube video, and I liked that.
A lot of films have way too much foreplay, and not enough payoff, but this one doesn’t muck around. After a brief little opening bit where some group gets butchered, it’s pitch black and game on.
I’m not gonna pretend the plot’s some masterpiece, because it’s as basic as anything, but that’s the beauty of it, as it knows what it is and just goes with it.
You can tell what movies have influenced the director here, such as Hush, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Strangers franchise to name a few. And it does copy certain parts of those films it has to be said.
The characters are a also a bit flat, but one character I did like was Kevin, and he’s a proper prick, and I mean that as a compliment. He’s so cold and uncaring that you kind of enjoy hating him, and he also made the whole “why are they still filming?” thing make sense.
The kills aren’t super graphic, and we don’t get much blood and guts here, which is a shame, but that’s probably down to budget. You can tell it’s a very low budget film.
A few of the jump scares actually landed quite well though, and I’m not too proud to admit one of them got me, and while the ending isn’t groundbreaking, it fits fairly well, and wraps things up nicely without dragging anything out.
The Last Cabin was an OK watch, especially when you consider the budget, and I always respect the attempt, but if you don’t have a love for low budget found footage horror, you will probably dislike it.
It certainly has its issues, more than a few infact, but for what it had to work with, we have some things to like about it, at least I thought so, anyway.
Yes it’s cheap and generic, and the story and characters isn’t anything to write home about, but for fans of cheap looking slasher films, some of it isn’t too bad.

The Last Cabin Good Points
Gets Straight to the Action – No slow build-up or filler in this one, as the film jumps right into the creepy stuff.
Creepy Clown Mask Villains – The design of the masked killers is genuinely unsettling. Simple, and effective.
John Fantasia – His performance is quietly disturbing and memorable, and he just gives you that gut feeling of “something’s off.”
The Last Cabin Bad Points
Low Impact Kill Scenes – While the violence is implied well at times, the actual kill scenes often lack punch or creativity due to budget constraints.
Basic, Predictable Plot – The story is very by-the-numbers, with nothing surprising or original about it, especially for seasoned horror fans.
Thin Characters – Most of the cast isn’t fleshed out, and beyond a couple of standouts, they feel generic and forgettable.
Is The Last Cabin Worth Watching?
Maybe as a freebie, it has a few effective jump scares and scenes, but it certainly has flaws, though.
You have to appreciate very low budget Found Footage to get anything out of it, and even then, you still might not, which I get.
But hey, I enjoy a bit of cheap slasher trash sometimes.
