THE LAST GREAT WILDERNESS is a weird little Scottish movie. The copy I saw of it was so cheap that it looked like it had been filmed on somebody's Camcorder, although I'm sure that wasn't the case. It's a film that's heavily indebted to THE WICKER MAN in terms of storyline, which sees a pair of disparate characters heading up to a remote village and encountering some very weird locals.
If I'm honest I didn't enjoy this film at all. The script is sub-par and the quirky character work doesn't really add anything to the experience. Most of the second half, which is where the interesting stuff lies, is shot in the dark so that it's difficult to see what's going on. None of the characters are remotely sympathetic, and come the end I didn't really understand or care what was happening to them either. Other than minor roles for TRIAL & RETRIBUTION tag-team David Heyman and Victoria Smurfit, THE LAST GREAT WILDERNESS has very little going for it.
