The Last Inn (2021) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady who unexpectedly arrives at an Inn with little memory of where she came from and where she's going. She runs into another couple and a young man also staying at the inn. They decide to play a board game that seems to unlock the spirits within the house and strange things start happening. Can the new friends put the spirits back in their place or will they all die trying?
This movie is directed by David Kuan (Death is Here 3) and stars Emily Hall (Lumina), Walker Barnes (Butter), Tristan Cunningham (Sleeping with Strangers), Jamel King (Unhinged) and Lauren Peterson (Moxie).
This is one of those movies where the twist at the end was likely written first and then the author had to build a story to get to it, because the end was definitely the best part of the movie. The acting and dialogue were average. The makeup and creation of the horror elements were also mediocre to bad, though some of the props were cool. There is a bathroom scene in here that's perfectly executed and very well done, but shortly after there's a flashback montage and background song that's painful.
Overall, with a little more patience with the writing of the screenplay and a bigger budget this could have been a worthwhile addition to the horror genre; unfortunately, it ends up falling short of its potential. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
