10 Horror Movies Critics Were Way Too Harsh On

Released in 2014, Phil Hawkins' The Last Showing didn't fare all that well when it came to the critical response to it.

Set primarily in a multiplex, this picture has Robert Englund taking centre-stage as a pissed off film projectionist made redundant by modern technology. After this traditionalist and movie historian finds himself working on the concessions stand, that pushes Englund's Stuart over the edge.

Pulling a smidge from Falling Down, Stuart ends up crafting his own horror movie using handheld cameras and CCTV to torment those stuck in the locked-down cinema - most notably Finn Jones' Martin and Emily Berrington's Allie.

Playing it far straighter and serious than his famed turns as Freddy Krueger, Englund is on fire in The Last Showing. But if you listen to critical opinion, chances are you'll have never seen this brilliant performance.

For its sheer unique plot - a select few people trapped in a cinema and toyed with like mice - The Last Showing deserves some praise. Plus, y'know, it's actually a pretty darn good movie that's far better than what some of the initial critical consensus would have you believe.
