Peter Grunbaum This is an excellent Danish horror movie. The writer Dennis is a genius and basically a Danish Stephen King. His great imagination and humour shines through in the twilight zone type of plot. People who say this is a routine slasher that is absolutely not true. The movie is filled with great philosophy in the dialogue. It is even political in many ways and pre-figures both Saw and uncensored news. The movie is totally excellent and people who say bad about it simply fails to appreciate the philosophy of the movie.

Sharan S I rarely watch movies on TV. It's because I can't stand these commercial breaks every ten minutes. But, while this movie was telecasted, there was hardly any. After watching the film, I knew why. The film is an 83 minute claustrophobic thriller. Having used the term 'Claustrophobia' I must confess it doesn't take place wholly in a single place, but moves on to different locations. Locations like rooms in a school, a TV studio and a ventilation shaft. Time and again, we seem to be so much influenced by TV that we prefer using TV shows as the base of the movie. For example, 13B is an Indian film which uses a specific TV soap as the setting of its base. All they watch on TV happens in their lives. Somewhere, the protagonist identifies the broken link and solves the mystery. But, I agree that there were a lot of unnecessary gimmicks in 13B. But, Sidste Time, a Danish (Denmark) film fills you with enough thrills to keep you glued to the screen. It is thrilling that we have seen many movies in the same treatment but we fail to notice that it is not what it usually is in the end. Take 13B for example again, the protagonist solves the mystery, finds the killer and kills him. Here in Sidste Time, the seven students serving late detention in high school are killed by a Frankenstein-like guy who is found dead in the first scene a la Saw!Desperate to find a life as an actor, we have the seven actors – Lene Laub Oksen, Mette Bratlan, Tomas Villum Jensen, Karl Bille, Rikki Louise Andersson, Laura Drasbaek and Ken Vedsegaard. The film was worth watching till the climax. The climax is where everything went haphazard. We get to know in the first scene that Micky Holm has a special power and in the climax scene we are told again that he has a special power. God! I may believe in you but certainly not this bullshit. Man creates technology, technology creates psychopaths and psychopaths create newer technology leading to where it all began. Perhaps, the worst scene in the film can be the climax. But, due to a few other scenes in the film, everyone may need to know about the climax. The climax is such a horror. We see films where the hero is pulled into every odd and finally ends up alive and healthy. Later, the trend of shutting down heroism and bringing in realism was introduced. Bet my butt, realism never existed. We saw over realism. That's what monster films and thrillers in Hollywood are doing. A group of people are shown in the first scene. Slowly, one by one keeps dying and finally the last person to die will have his name first in the credits as he was there through the whole movie. If you ask me, I won't recommend it to anyone but those who want to be 'great' directors like J.J. Abrahams, Quentin Tarantino etc. Sidste Time (Final Hour) is quite a gruesome thriller with loose ends. The film isn't that bad to be watched one. But, you have to risk 83 precious minutes to watch it.

McBuff In the wake of "Nattevagten" came this drearily routine slasher movie, written by novelist Dennis Jürgensen, which depicts a bunch of kids trapped in their school with a serial killer (yawn!). Meanwhile, a tabloid TV crew covers events from outside. Apart from a few grisly murders, including one gruesomely inventive scene involving a face and a hot-plate, film has nothing to recommend it, with barely credible performances and awfully predictable shock scenes.Won´t scare anyone who has ever seen a real horror movie, but might appeal to the "Scream/I know what you did.../Urban Legend" crowd. Followed by a similar Schmidt/Jürgensen collaboration, "Mørkeleg".

somogyig Yes, the Sidste Time's TV reporter wants a very big hit story. He is starting imagining... The students are arriving to the classroom. And in the end, when the last teenager girl is murdered, the TV reporter smiles. SO: he is only thinking! All of the horrific story is in his mind... But the plan will be turned into real life when the students arrives to the school. We don't know is anybody standing (or hanging) below the curtain but we can imagine that. A danish student told me the Sidste time is a big film in Denmark, and the story was published in book too.
