A stroll into Mania

Rather than a descendant to madness, The Last Broadcast is more of a trail into manicism.The movie slowy shows you each card in its hand, with epiece of the puzzle making less sense than the last, until you see the full flush.It's a great example of a traditional found footage film still offering something new.Though it feels more like an adult goosebumps movie with a great reveal, I've come to really appreciate this sleepy horror gem.There's a silent Statement that perpetuates throughout this film. Whoever directs the scenes you are seeing, also directs the messages being given.An odd but welcome bit of commentary for a unique experience like this.I'll be revisiting this movie time and time again in the future.

Loses it's way towards the end

In 1995 a group of presenters for the cable TV show `fact or fiction' travelled into the woods to search for the Jersey Devil. When they are killed, one of the group, Jim Suerd, is convicted for the murder. Years later a documentary maker receives video tape not included in the trial and sets out to find what really happened.I don't care which film was made first and I don't care if `last broadcast' and `Blair witch' are similar or not. All I care about is if the film itself is any good. The set up is good – a documentary that is put together in the style of many documentaries you might see on channel 5 etc and it is easy to get taken away by it (if not taken in!). it feels like it's building to something and it's reasonably compelling. However this drive loses it's way as the film tries to make comments about the subjectivity of the media and it detracts from what happened on that night.This is a shame because the documentary style was well put together and believable. But the twist is silly (I think) and the final half hour could have been scary instead of trying to be a comment on the media. The acting is good if basic – it is just like they're playing themselves – but all the documentary contributors are totally believable.Overall it held my attention and is well made considering the budget. The idea is clever but I was let down by the lack of thrills or scares and the fact that the final 30 minutes is just one big let down as the focus is lost.

Don't watch this Alone? Don't make me laugh!!!

The poster cover of the Last Broadcast claims 'Don't see it Alone'.

This is a joke. This is not a horror film. It's not scary. The ending is a total anti-climax. I am baffled by comments claiming this has caused some viewers sleepless nights. I mean, come on people, really. When I watched this alone, my reaction was: 'is that it?' When I watched it a second time with my mates, after it ended, their reaction was: 'hey, where were the scary moments?'

Forget this and go for the Blair Witch Project. A much superior film.
