Sarah Serling (Sarah Froelich) is on a mission: in 2018, her husband, police officer David Serling answered a call to an abandoend hospital, and disappeared. Only his damaged body camera was recovered, and ever since, no one has been able to help her, especially the police.
Sarah’s hired a filmmaker to document her search, so there’s your found footage explanation right there. After she has nearly given up, she gets a surprise phone call from someone who is angrily leaving the force; he was in charge of tracking and archiving the department’s body camera footage. When he was ordered to delete everything, he instead made a copy of everything, and then deleted it. He gives Sarah the copies and announces he’s getting the hell out of Dodge.
What Sarah finds in the memory cards is an incident a few days before Serling’s disappearance, in which Serling was forced to shoot a man who was committing ritual murder in his backyard. There is no offical report of an officer-involved shooting, the death is reported as a standard homicide. Luckily (or not), Sarah sees an ad with the ritual murderer’s twin brother.
This whole thing, we find, involves the Red Sister, a nasty spirit who hangs out on the piece of land the hospital was built on – and it is becoming possible that her husband is actually still alive in there, held prisoner by the Red Sister.
As I’ve said before, I really like found footage movies when they work, and I do think Last Radio Call fits into that category. Sara Froelich has a good, naturalistic delivery that grabbed me at once. Alas, her co-stars aren’t quite up to her quality, but then again, Keekee Suki as the twin brother has a lot of Expository Stuff to get through that no human tongue could make sound natural.
I’m ultimately able to give Last Radio Call a better than passing grade because of the novel nature of its bad guy and dammit, I love a supernatural detective story.
