Editorial Reviews

Based on an incredible true story, JOHNNY FRANK GARRETT'S LAST WORD is a terrifying tale of vengeance from beyond the grave. On Halloween night 1981, a Catholic nun is savagely murdered. In a haze of fear, the authorities in Amarillo, Texas feel compelled to solve the case quickly amidst widespread panic and lynch mob anger. Soon a suspect emerges as 18-year-old Johnny Frank Garrett is arrested and put on trial. Overlooking evidence that could have cleared his name, the jury passes swift judgment and Garrett is convicted and sentenced to death. But from the moment of his arrest until his last breath Garrett professes his innocence, and following his execution a letter is found in his cell written in a voice driven by a dark force, promising retribution and cursing the souls of anyone connected with his demise. Within weeks of his execution, Johnny's terrifying prophecy is unleashed as a series of unexplained deaths strike down those involved in the cover-up. As his parade of victims g

What a waste of a good story

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This movie was a miss. It's was too "Hollywood" and not enough truth. The story that this is based on didn't need all the embellishment including the 'flash' sequences which were quite annoying. The whole movie itself was a lot of "too long".: the freak outs, the dreams, visions, the sitting with psychic - everything was too long. Towards the end I was counting the heavy handed "too longs" rather than watching the movie.
Character development was non existent. The wife was a cartoon. Worst of all, this movie was not at all scary.

Why couldn't we just see what really happened?
The best part of the movie was the first 5 minutes, which were truly disturbing. After that large amounts of schlock were applied. Less would have been more. I guess the director was going for the cheap thrills instead making a very tense, horrifying movie based on the facts. I think I'll just read the book.

The actual story was scarier.

I don't know why they felt they had to change so much about the actual story, because it was, in fact, scarier. NOT A SPOLER: this is about the real case... The kid lived across the street from the convent and he was only 17 years old when he was arrested for murder he did not commit. There was DNA evidence it turned up in 2004 that proved it.
This sort of thing happens a lot more than we like to admit. And that's the most terrifying thing.
Now for the film itself :
The weird lighting was unnecessary and tried to make it look like the film was shot in the 70s or something. Very strange. The music in the background was annoying. And that's the kindest thing I can say about it. The jerkily shot flashbacks and cut shots made it visually difficult to watch. In my opinion, the cinematography itself was very poor.

Worth a watch

Very well done and although it was a movie, they gave a good amount of the truth in it.
Growing up in a small town in Texas and having even smaller towns around us, we all knew of "local justice" and many have seen it first hand. Where a tight group of the local yolkles will be the voice of the masses and when something happens they will do whatever it takes to hush the gossip and negative and or panic.
If that means grabbing a troubled kid or some wanderer or undocumented person to pin the chaos on in order to keep order, so be it. As long as they have someone to direct the chaos at, at any cost.
Sad that Johnny Garrett had to be their scapegoat. I can totally see the people in Amarillo blaming any misfortune to anyone living there on The Johnny Garrett curse though.
Maybe that "curse" was frightening enough to make them do a better job at getting the correct bad guy, but I doubt it.

Too proud to admit you did someone wrong

How can you ask to deliver you from evilness when you are the evil people! Too corrupt & proud to admit that you were wrong, did a person wrong, and didn't want to correct it due to being too proud! Many people in prison are innocent. There are corrupt correctional officers, corrupt police, corrupt attorneys, & corrupt judges! We will keep on having problems until we can correct our grievances! I wonder if the curse lives on! Our system doesn't allow people in charge to correct wrongdoings especially when it is intentionally orchestrated there are too many personal attacks! Too much grandstanding and you know where that comes from, hollywood!!!

Know the truth

It was a very good movie. I have never heard of this case, but am glad a movie was put together for Johnny Frank Garrett. It is unbelievable of how corrupt his trial was. I watched another documentary on it, and within that documentary, it tells how messed up the Texas government really was and is still to this day with the laws they have after a person is put to death...even if there is ample evidence showing their innocence. The actual deaths that followed the trial and how they died are very chilling to say the least. This movie made me want to look up more on his case and realize how truly innocent he was.

Way better than I expected.

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019

This movie is based on real life, the man was executed for raping a nun although he was innocent and the prosecutor knew it. It happened in 1976 and the execution happen in 1992. This movie could have fooled me because it appears to be set in the 1950's. It is freaky rather than horror. More like psychedelic rather than realistic. I'm sure some people will not like it because it is different, which is why I like it.

Epileptic shouldn't watch, there is a really long "stutter" near the end.

Artistic energy clearly ran well through the veins of the editor and director, I believe there was a bit of over use at times.

I would have swapped out the PA for someone who looked less like Adam. Other than those two issues, I was captured by the story and felt a bit of "The Ring" ish.
