The Last Broadcast1998

Horror Vault's take

When a public-access TV crew ventures into New Jersey's remote Pine Barrens to capture proof of the legendary Jersey Devil on a live broadcast, only one member walks out — and he walks straight into a murder conviction. A year later, an independent filmmaker sifts through recovered tapes and testimonies in search of what really happened that winter night. Blending pseudo-documentary craft with genuine dread, The Last Broadcast asks whether the monster worth fearing was ever supernatural at all. It's a slow-burn exercise in mounting unease that predates — and arguably rivals — the found-footage wave that followed it.
