Production
The film was developed and produced by DBS Films, a studio known for low-budget, independently distributed horror productions. Filming took place in a remote wooded area near Orlando, Florida. The project employed a minimalist found-footage approach, emphasizing handheld cinematography, natural lighting, and improvised dialogue to evoke realism.[4][5]
Director Brendan Rudnicki shared his vision for the film, stating:
“We set out to make horror feel real and unsettling. Isolated and exposed, you’re stalked by something relentless, every sound causing anxiety. The Last Cabin dives into that dirty, clawing fear, where surviving’s all you’ve got left”.[4]
He also said that the film is inspired by Rec and V/H/S.[6]
Release
The Last Cabin was released via digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Roku on April 29, 2025.[7] It runs approximately 70 minutes. The film was not given a theatrical release and instead targeted horror audiences through streaming and social media-based marketing.[8][9]
Reception
Hannah Cronk of Film Threat gave the film a movie score of 7 out of 10 and she said; Is The Last Cabin a game changer? No. Is it a tight, effective, and well-acted horror outing that gives genre fans precisely what they came for, with a little more polish than expected? Absolutely.[10]
Chris Catt of Creepy Catalog gave the film a rating of 2 stars out of 5 stars and wrote; I didn’t dislike The Last Cabin, but I would only recommend it for die-hard found footage fans. It doesn’t add much of anything new to the genre, but for a micro-budget film, there are positives within its execution.[11]
