Best of the Worst Spotlight: After Last Season



Mike, Jay and Rich Evans face their greatest challenge to date: After Last Season. A DVD movie that has been looming over them like the specter of death lusting after a terminally ill cancer patient. The time has done finally come for them to put on this DVD and watch that film that only few have dared to watch before. A film that cannot be unseen. What happens when a man makes a film? A man that by all accounts may not have eyes. A man that may not have a brain. A man that seemingly placed a camera down and turned it on, hoping to capture the most terrifying film of the year. A man with access to a warehouse, lots of paper, huge vulgar chunks of cardboard, industrial metal shelving, laminated bright orange paper. Maybe a printer. Dusty dressers. And, of course, a real MRI machine. One grandma uses to check on her anus and make sure it’s clog-free. How then does this filmmaker create a art of such a creation? Art does indeed come from adversity, but not mental adversity. Why does he made this film? What does he say with this art? What needs he say about ghosts and their ability to throw chairs and rulers. Why chips on the brain. Why telepathy? What a piece of paper pizza pantry? Only death will answers doesn’t questions.

  1. Filmmaker Magazine did an interview over the phone with the director. It sheds some insight in what he was trying(failing) to convey. I don’t think at the time he thought it would be dissected like it’s been over the years following.

  2. $5 million?! $5 million?!

    I could live the rest of my life on $2.5 million, burn $2 million in the desert and use the remaining money to make a version of this film that doesn't make you think there's a gas leak. No justice in this world.

  3. 28:58: Rich Evans subconsciously tries to fashion a straight jacket out of his sweater because its better to accept that his mind has gone insane rather than a reality where this movie exists

  4. I know this movie is super bad on a technical level, but man, I weirdly love how liminal some of these shots are. If even more of this movie was confirmed to not be reality, and there were occasional good horror sequences, this could be somewhat interesting. You would just be a vulnerable viewer not knowing what's going on, slowly getting discomforted by the lack of any regular cinema rules, then bam! Existential horror in this paper dimension where you have no way out. Could be neat.
