Review of The Last Broadcast (1998) by Ross P — 04 Jun 2011

Anyone who feels the need to give that obnoxious knee-jerk reaction to "IT'Z LIKE BLARE WUTCH. CLOVURFIELD. DAIRY OF THE DAID. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY." needs to settle the f**k down and take a nice hard look at the date which this came out.

It was first - that's right - this was a fairly original concept at the time, and I personally think Blair Witch borrows a little too generously from this more interesting film. A child of the 90s, I enjoy seeing the equipment on display - retro laptops and cameras, chatting about IRC, etc.

Also being quite familiar with the Pine Barrens of both NJ and Long Island, I really dig the setting of this film. Everything here is done well for what it is. Might it seem a bit cheesy after seeing what Hollywood has done with this concept, yeah.

But watch your tongue kid, calling this piece silly and unoriginal might expose you for the naive newjack you are.
