“We have to stick together…”
The Last Breath released on Demand on July 27th 2024. The survival horror thriller film stars Kim Spearman, Jack Parr, Alexander Arnold, and Julian Sands. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.
A group of old friends reunite and agree to go on a diving trip to explore a long lost WWII battleship, but they soon discover that they’re not alone, now surrounded by a group of great white sharks as their oxygen runs dangerously low.
Here is the trailer:
The Last Breath is far from perfect with terrible CGI and questionable decisions made by the characters, but it still manages to hold on to an entertaining level of intensity underwater. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Shot well underwater!
I was actually quite impressed by how well this film was shot underwater. I’ve seen other movies try the same thing and a lot of scenes end up really blurry. This one captured everything well.
There was a solid level of intensity once we got to the ship and I think the film did a good job of maintaining that until the very end. I was on the edge of my seat during a lot of key moments, making this a fun watch for fans of shark films.
Decent characters.
Usually I’m always rooting for the sharks, but a couple of the characters stood out here, which helped me invest in them more. I cared about what happened to a few of them, which isn’t always easy to accomplish. The friendships weren’t fleshed out completely, but I didn’t really need them to be. We got enough layers and info to figure out who to root for.
The Cons:
Terrible CGI!
Wow, the CGI on these sharks was awful. They zipped around in the water like they were on crack, which was far from believable. Even though there were a lot of intense moments in this one, I couldn’t take the sharks seriously. I think we could have done a little bit better in this department.
I also thought that we wasted too much time on unnecessary fluff in the first thirty minutes of the movie. Things improved drastically once the characters got to the dive, but it was a struggle before that.
So am I in or out?
I’m in about 75 percent…
The Last Breath is a solid shark film with enough bite for fans of the genre, but don’t expect anything too extraordinary here.
As long as you manage your expectations and accept that you’ll be witnessing some terrible CGI, you’ll have fun with this one.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…
It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
