Last Caller
It was all bullshit...until the conspiracies started coming true.
Long ago resigned to feigning belief, Anthony, the disillusioned host of a paranormal radio program, loathes his life's work. But when caught in a real-life nightmare, he must struggle to survive the terrifying experience. Will he become trapped in his own conspiracy theories?
Synopsis
Last Caller is a Horror/Thriller inspired by an actual phone call to a late-night radio show. Anthony is the quick witted and cynical long-time host of a late night radio program, KKRP Dimension X. With the assistance of his master control operator, Nathan, he takes the calls of those who claim that they've had encounters with the paranormal. Anthony used to be passionate about all things relating to supernatural phenomena but after years of hearing prank calls and the same old stories recycled by callers again and again, he has lost all faith and interest. On a night that begins as mundanely as usual, a panic-stricken caller contacts the station claiming to be an ex-employee of Area 51 with information about the true nature of extraterrestrial life and our government's knowledge of it. Anthony is skeptical.
Suddenly, the line goes dead and the station's power is cut. Once the emergency generator kicks on, Anthony is faxed some cryptic classified documents. Before he can process these, he's plunged into darkness as the generator power also goes out. The entrance to the station opens and a tall, unknown being enters, bellowing in an otherworldly voice. After being chased in the darkness by this being, Anthony locks himself in the station's vocal booth. He yells out to the being, asking what it wants. It gives him a message: "I'll be with you soon." Trapped in the booth, Anthony decides to record a message for his listeners of all that has happened.
As he helplessly waits, Nathan unlocks the booth and is bewildered to find Anthony on the floor while the station is off the air. When Anthony recounts the night's events, he now finds himself on the receiving end of skepticism; Nathan doesn't believe him. Anthony gets back on the air with a re-affirmed belief in the supernatural, but a twist at the end leaves him unaware that his views are being manipulated.
