So I was totally shocked at the ending of this flick.
What was up with the guy coming to get this poor chick and suffocating her with plastic? I knew how they filmed it to make it look realistic. The different camera angles gave it away.
I kinda get unnerved when I see violent deaths like these. Either I find them very interesting or they move me or I feel very sick that I could make better murder scenes.

I think the ending was supposed to seal the motif of "the media doesn't really give completely true information". The documentary part was the altered information, while the traditional movie part and what the FoF crew filmed was the real information. Pretty cool and smart ending if you ask me.
shareI think it's important to note Twin Peaks came out several years prior to The Last Broadcast. I saw it as an homage to Twin Peaks, which had a similar concept of a dark entity living in the forest, which would come to inhabit its victims and then commit murders against their will. Laura Palmer, the original victim in Twin Peaks was also rolled up in plastic. And it was the 90s, man.
"He is BOB, eager for fun. He wears a smile, everybody run!"
BOB is (one of) the inhabiting spirits in Twin Peaks, but the only (currently) evil one. MIKE, another inhabiting spirit once joined BOB on his serial killing.
Jersey Devil seems to fit this concept.
