Rachel, a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish, backwater town. The kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that, really, they deserve to be somewhere else. They all think they're there by accident and that, with a little luck, life is going to get better. Wrong, on both counts. Six is about to arrive - and All Hell Will Break Loose!

I'll tell you why so serious
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I'm not usually a horror fan, though that might actually count against it for some purists out there, and I didn't even know that there was a category for "Irish horror" until now. Normally horror films rely on dramatic cinematics, deliberate suspense, and supernatural foes that are just not believable. Here there was none of that- there were no "Oh God no, you aren't going to do that, are you?" really stupid moments, no purely unrealistic supernatural cinematics thrown in like confetti just to prevent boredom or to shock the viewer, and the gore- though at times excessive- had a point. More to the point, the acting was good, the characters and their interactions were interesting, and all in all it was a wonderful film. It was a perfect mix of elements making good use of a small cast and a set that wasn't a mansion, mental hospital, cue the usual trope. Frankly, as far as the good words I'd like to use to describe it, I'm having trouble finding the right ones because it was just that good. I hope that others out there enjoy this movie as much as I do.
Well, I have seen 'The traveler' and didn't like it at all. I have seen 'Assault on Precint 13' and it was fine. I have seen FEAR ITSELF, and was one of my favorite miniseries, and 'Eater' was a great episode (being 'New Year's Day my favorite). "Last shift" was a pleasant surprise, with and shocking end, and I highly recommend it. Well dammit! there is too a couple of episodes of Twilight Zone, or more movies or series that I haven't seen, this idea is not original.Yes, I thought in all of them when I read the plot summary, I couldn't avoid it, the film fits in the "A claustrophobic tale in a prison with a evil force and everything just go wrong"(except for Precint 13, there are no evil forces, instead there a corrupt cops) But I love Liam Cunningham and couldn't help myself to watch it. And I loved it. From the opening, which is a piece of art, and was a pleasure to my eyes, to the very end the the word of one syllable that ended/started all. All acting was great and believable. Script was very good and well think of it. I would give it 10/10 but Heggie backstory was a little poor explained, I need a deep explanation on what happened there (about how she was saved).I loved Liam and his "Six"... We get from the beginning who "Six" is, no less and no more "People blame me, but I am a witness". And the end let us thinking on why it ended that way. I would love a second part with more backstory.Don't compare to the ones I mentioned, there is no comparison, each have their own soul. 9/10 highly recommended, at least for me.And this will always be with me: "The things that I see would make angels weep. And they have wept."
I've never been a fan of slice and dice movies where you see the maniac and he kills everyone. OK, the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a classic, I give you that and "Motel Hell" is a hoot, but the whole idea of some scary thing walking around terrorizing teenagers and killing them, well, blah.This film is more what I go for. Scary but most of the horror is in the heads of the characters. Sure, there's plenty of blood, but it's there due to people losing control, not because they're simply lunatic killer. Some of these folks are BAD people, but that's what's great, on the surface, they seem like everybody and anybody else, it's the darkness inside of them that is drawn out by the mysterious stranger."Below" and "Session 9" are this type of movie. They make you think. Sometimes it's fun to just shut down your brain and be entertained, but when the movie makes you actually THINK, I believe you tend to enjoy it more. "Let Us Prey", I felt, made me think.
This film has a pulse (echoed in the music), which just keeps getting louder and louder and faster and faster. Unrelenting, like a run-away truck down a hill. The focused steadfastness of "the stranger" is measured against the franticness of the rest of the cast. I find this film plays out a lot like "The Terminator" with a supernatural theme replacing science-fiction. Just like "The Terminator", it has no pity, no remorse and won't ever stop, until it completes its mission. The opening titles are great, arty and spooky. There's a lot of violence and gore, be warned. There are few movies, that I can watch over and over. "The Terminator" is one, and this film is another. Once I start watching them, it was like being on a roller coaster locked in , going up the ramp, waiting, anticipating the frenzied descent soon to come.
