The Last Broadcast (1998)

Watching "The Last Broadcast" is an exercise of patience and disappointment. The movie had potential but loses and hope early on in the film. It is a slow, lumbering collection of interviews and film clips that never create any sense of dread or scares. The acting is fine considering that they are all amateur but the performance of the narrator is just plain god awful.

A public access show called "Fact of Fiction" goes out into the Pine Barrens in New Jersey to film a show about the Jersey Devil. One of the group, James Suerd, is the only member of the four person group to come back from the trip. He calls 911 and tells them that he doesn't know where the others are; he is then arrested a few days later when two of the bodies are found mutilated. James was added to the group to be the guide and psychic. The movie then shows how the evidence was used to convict him and then later to reveal how the others were really killed.
