"VS revives a brooding thriller from 1995, featuring Robert Patrick's unsettling and subdued portrayal. The Blu-ray enhances the gritty desert visuals, amplifies the ambiance, and frames this unconventional gem as a minor yet intriguing supernatural curiosity."
"A fun little direct-to-video horror surprise with Robert Patrick, supernatural possession and slasher energy all tangled together. Last Gasp has that mid-90s rental-shelf mood where the premise is wild enough to carry the whole thing, and the 4K restoration gives it way more care than this kind of title usually gets. Exactly the sort of under-seen oddity I like seeing rescued."
"I was surprised on how much I liked this movie. The story drew me in and held my attention through out. The transfer was awesome. The special features were good. This was a blind buy for me. You should take a chance like I did and give this one a go. I wasn’t disappointed and I don’t expect you to be either. I wish I had known about this film sooner. Glad to have it in my media library now."
"Last Gasp seems to be one of those VS titles that was permanently in stock, which surprises me because I actually think it is quite good. It has a strange supernatural angle, a suitably sleazy 90s feel, and Robert Patrick gives it far more presence than you might expect from something this obscure. It is certainly not some forgotten masterpiece, but I found it entertaining and much more interesting than its apparent lack of popularity would suggest. With so many VS releases disappearing almost immediately, it is funny that this one just keeps hanging around. I think it deserves a little more love."
"Gets a lot of guff, but Last Gasp is an entertaining little film full of that comfy 90s late-nite vibe."
"Love Robert Patrick, so I had to watch this movie and it was a positive surprise. Filled with twists and turns and some interesting themes."
"Actress Joanna Pacula stars in this surprise thriller where shes stalked by non other than T2's Robert Patrick who has harnessed native american powers to become the perfect Killer. Can Pacula survive? Can her friend Mimi Craven Survive? this was a great buy and I really like the slipcover. especaily the lettering."
"This movie was ok, nothing great, but nothing terrible either. Storyline is ok, a little on the weak side, but nothing that made me want to turn it off. Nothing special in the extras, just some outtakes, and slipcover design is. . . ok."
"Never really understood why this didn't shift more quickly, as it's fairly entertaining. Maybe not a 10/10, but it's certainly better than a lot of films which quickly sold out! Perhaps it hasn't found an audience quite yet, but perhaps it will one day."
""Oh, oh they said it! They said it!" Good quality film. Decent acting. Good special effects. Nice visual quality. While not bad, there could have been a little bit more story development in some scenes rather than some of the visuals. Having grown up on X-files, it's weird to see Doggett (Patrick) as a villain. But I guess Terminator fans are used to it. Nice packaging and double sided cover (the one side evokes Hannibal Lector vibes to me). Overall a nice release from Vinegar Syndrome."
