In Last Straw (2024), a quiet night shift at a small-town diner turns into a harrowing fight for survival when a masked intruder arrives with deadly intentions. Taking place over the course of one tension-filled night, the film follows Nancy, a sharp-witted but weary waitress who’s no stranger to life’s hardships. She’s used to dealing with difficult customers, but nothing prepares her for the terror that unfolds when the diner becomes a battleground. As the masked figure tightens their grip on the night, Nancy is forced to rely on her instincts, wit, and resilience to outmaneuver a predator who seems to know far more about her than they should. With nowhere to run and the threat escalating by the minute, she must confront not only the immediate danger but also the deeper fears that have haunted her for years. Blending pulse-pounding suspense with psychological intensity, Last Straw explores themes of survival, resilience, and the fine line between victim and fighter. With its claustrophobic setting, relentless tension, and a protagonist pushed to her breaking point, the film keeps audiences on edge until the very last moment. In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, the question isn’t just whether Nancy will survive—but what she’ll have to become in order to do so.
