The Last Resort (I) (2009)
2/10
"Solaris" meets "Real World: Cancun"
12 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
5 young girls go to Mexico for a bachelorette party. They drink, party, and hook up. The next morning, four of them go on a sigthseeing tour and end up getting robbed and left for dead. The fifth girl has to track her friends down with the help of two vacationing party boys.

That was the setup. Then, in the second half of the movie, it turns into "The Shining." The girls take refuge in a deserted town which turns out to be an evil place with a history. It causes people to go insane and do violent things such as kill friends, eat body parts, and have sex with dead bodies. When the fifth girl and the boys finally find the four friends, they are already totally crazy. Sophia, played by America Olivo (who I liked in Bitch Slap), tries to rescue her friends but ends up going crazy, too.

Not much of a story. The girls are like five versions of one character with nothing to distinguish them from one another. I fast-forwarded through a lot of it and I don't feel like I missed anything. Boring, routine thriller that fails to have any effect on the viewer.
