The Last Battleground (2009)

- written August 27, 2009

Summary: The Last Battleground follows a bunch of seemingly unconnected characters: a pair of inept hitmen, an abused girl who relies on an invisible friend to get her through rough times, a young homeless woman, and an artist who's been noticing a change in the world around him. Their paths and others will intersect one faithful night because heaven and hell have had their ultimate showdown for control of the earth, and damned if hell didn't score the upset victory.           Where do you run when salvation no longer exists? Where do you hide when the ground is opening up and letting unholy creatures run wild? How do you survive in a world where the dead are coming back as Lovecraftian demons manipulated by their earthly sins?           Overall: A micro-budget film from Sonny Fernandez which definitely keeps your attention. The outfits although sorta “ok” for me, there’s no question there was a ton of time spent on them, the masks, and the scary creatures. And I loved the volume and the diversity of our creatures. The film is very character driven and spends a lot of time setting it all up for us as we make it to the climax of the film. It’s a very dark film both in atmosphere and location but it definitely plays with your mind. Good job here!           Comparison: Day of the Dead meets Dawn of the Dead
