Set in Southold, New York, in 1843 during a cold winter, the film begins with the interrogation of a woman named Maiden Mary (Stefanie Scott).  Several strange deaths have occurred, including her grandmother at the family farm. Maiden Mary is blindfolded during the interrogation for reasons unknown.  As a film, this is quite a different kind of horror film. The film focuses on core characters such as Mary, who are deemed different (or evil) by others in her home. We start to understand that Mary has affection for the family's housemaid, Eleanor (Isabelle Fuhrman).  When her family realises, a disciplinary/corrective process begins, showing a truly nasty and disturbing side of people within the family.  The film slowly reveals that perhaps something evil and disturbing was behind the murders at the farm.  The question is, what will the outcome be for both Mary and Eleanor? The Last Thing Mary Saw attempts to be very different from most horror films. It introduces a different type of suspense by showing us the evil and wickedness that can come from others in how they treat people. Mostly, the film is a slow burn and contains uncomfortable moments. The plot itself takes a little while to get underway, and I found some aspects throughout the film (especially at the start) tricky to process and grasp.  The film builds to the gripping and unexpected finale, surprising me multiple times. Overall, it's rare to find a horror movie that tries to deliver something different. Visually this film is great, and the plot brings many unsettling and disturbing moments even when very little is occurring. The film is a slow burn, and honestly, there were some moments within the plot of the first act that I struggled to understand. Nevertheless, there is some impressive filmmaking on display here. The journey this film took me on, including the film's finale, will stay with viewers for some time, which is always a positive aspect of films,  thanks to the writer and director Edoardo Vitaletti. * This review has been written for Sanity.
