THE LAST EXPERIMENT is a low budget horror outing that has potential but squanders it through a generally overly familiar feel and slightly sub-par execution. It's hard to put your finger on what exactly is wrong with this movie, because the storyline isn't bad at all and the pacing is spot on. But it never manages to be scary or thrilling for a moment, and instead is content to wallow in gross-out scenes rather than moments of genuine exhilaration.

The plot is about a group of diverse characters who volunteer as test subjects in a remote research installation. Unfortunately the drugs they're given have all manner of violent side effects which soon become apparent. The plot becomes more and more convoluted as it goes on, until the ridiculous twist ending. Also, THE LAST EXPERIMENT lacks decent actors to bring the characters to life, and you can feel the inexperience from most of the cast. Only a cameoing Eric Roberts reminds you of the calibre of actor who should be appearing in this sort of thing.
