Reviews

The Last Eve was included in Film Threat's Ten Best Unseen Films of 2005.^[1]

In his review for Film Threat, Phil Hall described the film as "the world’s first avant-garde theological martial arts love story. Taking the story of Western civilization’s first eviction recipients and spinning it across a bizarre variety of unlikely landscapes, the immensely gifted filmmaker Young Man Kang has brought forth a production which is so astonishing and original than it is impossible to compare it to anything that has ever been made."^[2]
