“The Last Hope” (** out of four) was a watchable but utterly derivative end-of-the-world horror thriller about a worldwide virus that has threatened apocalypse now. Australia remains the one country that has been secure through a brutal border protection policy but they in turn become threatened when one visitor (Leigh Hornsby) gets through and the virus begins to spread. Umpteenth story about viruses, cures, and the military makes you wonder what horror filmmakers would have done had “28 Days Later” never been made. At least it moves fast and features the requisite amount of gore and action but still let’s hope this is “the last” of this dreck.
