‘Last Look’ Teaser Trailer – ‘Jumanji’ Meets ‘Paranormal Activity’ in Found Footage Horror
Jumanji meets Paranormal Activity in the teaser trailer for Last Look, blending the high-stakes suspense of a supernatural card game with the visceral intensity of found footage horror.
The indie film follows a high-profile social media influencer who discovers a mysterious deck of battle-style collectible cards. What begins as a curious find turns his local sanctuary into a hunting ground.
Trapped in a hellish game where every draw summons a grotesque new creature into reality, he must document his own potential demise for an audience that can’t look away.
The film includes cameos from real influences as well as The Blair Witch Project co-director Eduardo Sanchez.
A.J. Bennett makes his feature directorial debut on the project. Eric Martinez and Curt Fulster produce for Floating Rock Productions.
“We wanted to capture that childhood sense of wonder found in games like Jumanji and twist it into something unrecognizable and terrifying,” said Bennett. “The audience will feel the same dread as our protagonist — waiting to see what nightmare crawls out of the next card.”
Last Look is coming soon. Stay tuned for updates.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
