I think where this one really shined was in its originality. It really felt new, fresh and innovative. It felt like I was watching something that was generally different and unique and that was exciting to me.
They did a solid job capturing that genuine look and vibe of 70's talk shows. They also did a great job balancing the hokey feel of a program of that time and nature with a genuine and unsettling creep factor. When they went for the spook it was quite successful and effective. There were some dope effects and when the movie hit its climax... it was awesome. I was fully on board and pleasantly engaged. The pacing was solid throughout with a great intro, buildup and a fun and surprising finale.
The only thing I would say is I just wish there was more because I was enjoying the story and wanted it to keep going. Yet at the same time I appreciated the abruptness and shock value of the way it ended.
Overall I thought this was a really cool experience and it ended up being quite the breath of fresh air in a sea of regurgitated horror tropes. Would recommend.
