''[[The Last Broadcast]]'' is a 1998 horror film, directed and written by Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler. The film is presented as documentary about the crew of a public-access cable TV show, ''Fact or Fiction'', who went into the woods in rural New Jersey to search for the [[Jersey Devil]], and all but one of whom are killed. While the surviving crew member - Jim Seurd - was convicted for the murder, the film sets out to prove his evidence.
The film is notable for predating ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'' for heavy use of found footaage in a horror movie setting, for being made on a budget of only ''$900'' using 90s home computer technology and for almost every character being [[The Danza]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: The footage shot by the ''Fact or Fiction'' crew includes their deaths.
* [[Don't Go in The Woods]]: Especially on the urging of an untraceable IRC message.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Never Found the Body]]: ''Fact or Fiction'' host Steven Avkast.
* [[New Media Are Evil]]: Debated within the movie, with the more sympathetic characters coming out against it.
* [[Rewatch Bonus]]: Suffice to say that watching this movie a second time - when you know the outcome - makes much of the story ''far'' more interesting.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Fact or Fiction''
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: {{spoiler|James Leigh}}
