Welsh director Julian Richards ponied up 50 grand of his own money to make The Last Horror Movie, a smart and efficient serial killer chiller about Max, a middle-class charmer (played by Kevin Howarth) with murder in mind and video recorder in hand. It's his third movie, following on from 1996 debut Darklands and 2002 thriller Silent Cry.
