I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Blistering performances.

Well written, made, acted, but there's no pay-off at the end. It's not horror, it's psychological thriller, without much thrill.

GreyBird77 aptly defines three categories of "bad" movies. I liked "The Last Light" and will have no trouble remembering that I've seen it. It's a compelling psychological horror movie, a post-apocalyptic allegory. Seven survivors are trapped in a gloomy hospital following a mysterious event which bathed the outer world in intense light. No one seems to know what actually happened, but ferocious unseen monsters lurk in the corridors, waiting to attack and consume them. Strong characterizations give emotional impact to a drama that unfolds with more talk than action. Jack (Ed Quinn - look familiar? He played Jill Hennessy's boyfriend in two episodes of "Crossing Jordan") is the leader of the group, a strong anti-hero. Even as his deep character flaws become apparent, you're pulling for him to survive and escape the dark place that confines him. Noah (Edward Furlong) gives questionable advice, misguiding Jack and leading him to the ultimate reveal. What a marvelous glimpse of evil incarnate - a neurotic bureaucrat in a boring, tedious job. He has no real power and certainly no joy in disposing of the souls which have ensnared themselves in his domain. "The Last Light" intends to be dark and damning, and it certainly succeeds.

Some movies are so bad, they're funny - The Stuff. Some movies are so bad they'll make you cringe - Human Centipede. This movie, however, falls into the 3rd category of bad... the one that is categorized by looking at a movie selection a year later and thinking, "Did I see that one before or not?"Everything about this movie just ranks as unremarkable. I saw a brief synopsis of the movie and figured it had potential. Almost 2 hours later, I'm wishing I had done something else with the past couple hours of my life though... take out the garbage, do the dishes... anything that I could show some result for!The only portion of the movie that gave me the slightest jolt is when I connected "Noah" with "that kid from T2" (Edward Furlong) and it's kind of sad when the pinnacle of entertainment a movie provides comes from playing a "5 degrees of" game with the cast.There's really nothing else to see here in this movie. It tries to steal premises from much better movies like "What Dreams May Come", "Jacob's Ladder" and "Flatliners" but fails at making an original, or at least entertaining story.When the ending came (rather anti-climatically I might add) I was happy just to move on with my life.

Molly Hagan will always be Angel from Herman's Head in my mind, and I think the casting was an attempt at tongue in cheek attempting and failing for me by being too obvious. This movie is a very big mess that is just too obvious, and repetitive. Honestly I had to ask out loud at one point "We who Terminator boy?" as there was no sense of reality to the character played by Edward Furlong, and hardly any from the rest of the characters either. There is a lot of acting going on here, but it is the kind done in attempting to reach some form of egress from a bag which happens to be paper. The head towards the light shtick just goes on, and on. More even than my talking about it) I Enjoyed the first 5 minutes or so, it looked like this was going to be a good mind bender that would keep me guessing, however that quickly turned out not to be the case, and here we are now after a very over thought out ending, and so much less thought given to how they got there. Not recommending this to anyone, really there is nothing here that will make it worth your time. Some good actors wasted in what must have just been a money pit for someone. Move on I am going to.
