Last Radio Call

Not the best, but certainly not the worst "found footage" movie I've seen.

It's not filled with annoying teenagers arguing on a road trip.

It's not a group of people making stupid decisions.

The acting is fine. Some good jump scares. Don't get me wrong it's not "Grave Encounters". But I enjoyed it.

Only an hour and Fifteen minutes long, so quite quickly to the scary bits. If you really can't stand found footage films, obviously it's not going to be for you.

But if you like the genre , give it a go. And watch it with the lights out!

Oh man, this was a tough watch. From the beginning of the film, you are bombarded by bad acting and I don't know about any of you, but it immediately ruins the atmosphere of any film for me. From the lead actress to every single supporting character, everyone was absolutely horrid to the point where you start to wonder just how these people got their parts in the first place. They had to read for the roles and audition for them, right? So how could anyone hear their deadpan delivery and atrocious inflections and think, "Yes! I've found my actors!!"?!? I just don't get it. Nepotism and special favors aside, hiring untalented friends and family to work on your movie is asinine and always yields an abomination of a film. It's sad that an otherwise decent story was ruined by such laughable acting, but it goes to show that no matter how tight the script, how big or small your budget or how much you spend on your SFX, if you actors suck, you will always end up with trash.

Avoid this movie and let it be forgotten, as it deserves to be.

A cop answers a call at the spookiest hospital in the whole USA. His wife gets his body cam tapes and tries to find out what happened to him because he's gone missing. Nobody, including the force, will help her or even talk to her. As much as I love FF this one is just ok. The wife hires a film maker to document her search for answers, but things don't go well for her.

This was hyped up on social media, but I still jumped in pretty blind as to what it was about. Was surprised to see Sarah Froelich, from noise band Consumer Electronics, as the lead here. A band that I enjoy. Last Radio Call started out promising, but soon started showing the usual found footage horror clichés of jump scares (that didn't work), as well as good but over the top sound design, and the usual shaky cam with static and glitches. 20 minutes in and a ghost girl looks up and screams at the camera. That was enough for me.

Another super low budget found footage movie with a predictable script and ending. There are a couple of jump scares but the majority of the movie takes place in the same set piece at the abandoned hospital and that gets old really quick. I thank the makers for the short run time, like 1 hour and 15 minutes, instead of torturing us for a full two hours.

Not even a good drinking movie. There is simply not much there to enjoy.
