The Last Broadcast – 2 out of 5

In the late 90s, The Blair Witch Project altered the genre of horror and legitimatized the subgenre of “found footage.”  Yes, examples of it existed before but none came as close to the fame that The Blair Witch Project achieved.  I personally loved the film and found it very griping and terrifying.  Around the same time, there was another “found footage” project that took the form of the mockumentary called The Last Broadcast.  I know my horror month is still awhile away but when I read about this one I was instantly intrigued and decided to search it out.  My mad dash proved to be unnecessary because this film was mega disappointing.

The 90s had a brief horror trope where we had to see the insides of the noses
of horror film characters.

David Leigh (David Beard) is a documentary filmmaker and is currently focusing and investigating a mysterious murder that occurred in the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey.  The incident involves two friends; Steven Avkast (Stefan Avalos) and Locus Wheeler (Lance Weiler), and their public-access paranormal investigation show called Fact or Fiction.  One day, they are given the suggestion of looking for the Jersey Devil and this suggestion leads them to try and go for broke as they make it a live show that is broadcast simultaneously on TV, internet and radio.  In order to accomplish this task, the team enlists the help of a man named Jim Suerd (Jim Seward), a gentleman claiming to be a psychic.  However, tragedy strikes the production as Suerd is the only one to emerge alive and is subsequently convicted of murder.  As Leigh shows, not all is as it seems and there may have been a true killer that is still out there.

"Hey, if you're about to murder me, make sure this sequence of tape gets
corrupted and trashed so the film has something to stand on."

The Last Broadcast proved to be one of those films for me that is better in concept than it is in execution.  “Found footage” films and mockumentaries are always difficult features for me because the “found footage” horror film has been done a lot (and done well by only a few) and the mockumentary is a subgenre that can easily go off-the-rails if the proper care isn’t taken.  There’s a balance that needs to be struck when constructing a mockumentary and that is it needs to looks real enough to sell the genre it is in and, since this one is in the horror genre, it needs to be unsettling, creepy and spooky.  At the
very least, it needs to be captivating.  Sadly, this one proved to be none of those.

Those shirts make me think we found the motive for the murder of these two.

The budget is low on this one so the obvious drawbacks are here.  The whole production looks very cheap and the performances are, honestly, not very good or authentic feeling.  This is usually a killer for “found footage” or mockumentary features because if the cast can’t sell the fraudulent authenticity of the product, it’s hard to get invested in it.  For me, that’s one of the biggest reasons I latched on to The Blair Witch Project so hard.  Everything about it felt so real and the performances were so seamless.  This one it is very obvious that you are watching actors and they just can’t quite seem to capture the realism needed.  Granted, some are decent and feel like real people but, for the most part, the performances aren’t that great.  However, despite this, the concept is so strong that I was able to look past this.  The real killer, ultimately, came at the end.

I hate to do the obvious joke but, yeah, that much was obvious.

Without spoiling a 20 year old movie, the film has a twist ending where the real killer is revealed.  That’s also not a spoiler because the concept of something else occurring during the investigation is the whole premise of the film and the whole “What Really Happened?” plot point is teased endlessly.  Once this reveal takes place, the film seems to slip and fall on a banana peel.  First off, the reveal is fairly obvious because of how noticeable it is telegraphed through the last half-hour of the feature.  Secondly, the acting really takes a turn during the last five minutes and watching the performances in these excruciatingly awkward moment (both in performance and editing) completely took me out of the film and I was both laughing and cringing at the lame dance I saw in front of me.  At this point, the neat idea this film had was no longer intriguing and it just became a silly mess that I could no longer give the benefit of the doubt.

The host of the documentary seems shocked that he is being filmed...
by the very camera he is holding.

I really wanted to like The Last Broadcast and was fairly forgiving of its shortcomings because I liked the premise and the potential it held.  I overlooked the shoddy quality it had, the dragging narrative, and the bad acting but the predictable ending mixed with the feeling that the whole premise and plot went off the rails with its reveal ended up hurting the feature and the overall product.  Like I stated at the beginning of my review, the film proved to be great in concept but the actual execution was something that I just couldn’t get fully invested in.
