why was gus being silly??? I love late night, I love found footage/faux-documentary filmmaking that commits entirely to its premise, and I love abstract shit w a sinister edge.    the v unfortunate use of ai imagery’s been talked about to death already. I’m not in favour of it generally but contextually it feels as anti-art as using some royalty free clip-art and you can’t justify the backlash against this film while the same people buy their Dune 2 blu-ray off Amazon while WB are deleting films for tax cuts and Amazon is Amazon-ing, it feels so hypocritical and scary that this boycott energy that should be being directed at bigger and worse companies is being a directed at a small independent production. I fully get why it’s a big deal to many, that the usage in this film could set a bad precedent (which is why it’s good that it’s being talked about) and that I’m probably doing a…

This was sooo boring  they clearly wanted like a super intense vibeee but the only intense feeling I had was my urge to fall asleep.It’s clearly such a nice concept  but the execution is terrible. The actors obviously had food before they came on set cause no eating was doneee Also, Why are you selling your soul for your show to flop?As a grown mannn!? I’m genuinely soo disappointed the super cool concept they sold me with the trailer was not delivered and I need to throw rocks at everyone who led to me feeling this way (in a tough love sorta way)

È la notte di Halloween del 1977 e il conduttore televisivo Jack Delroy, in crisi di ascolti dopo la morte della moglie, decide di organizzare una puntata speciale del suo talk show con medium, scettici e una ragazza apparentemente posseduta. Quella che doveva essere una trovata per rilanciare il programma si trasforma in un evento terrificante trasmesso in diretta, mentre il confine tra spettacolo e soprannaturale si dissolve. Uno degli horror più originali degli ultimi anni. L'idea di raccontare tutto attraverso un late show degli anni '70 è geniale e viene sfruttata alla perfezione. L'atmosfera è incredibile: sembra davvero di guardare una vecchia trasmissione televisiva, finché, poco alla volta, tutto inizia a sgretolarsi. David Dastmalchian è fenomenale. Riesce a rendere Jack Delroy un personaggio affascinante, ambiguo e tragico senza mai perdere credibilità. È uno di quei…

Wake up from the dream Jack!

以年代感的實境節目來呈現，挺有趣的

90 minutes seemed like 10 minutes. So entertaining this was. Tight writing with the right amount of humour, horror, retro visual effects, lovely black and white to colour transition and ultimately the basic premise that turns into something refreshingly original. This is more about the presentation than the actual plot though plot reveals slowly and in the final 30 minutes it really opens up and made me wonder whether I will have to rewatch first hour because this film encourages multiple viewings. Seems to be a straightforward movie initially but gets into a different zone completely towards the end. And ending is totally my cup of tea or in my book I call it #MyShit. Loved it.

Some Alan wake 2 vibe, loved it  youtu.be/WDPIybAJe2c

What would otherwise be a fun and chill horror movie is ruined by the unnecessary use of AI. Every time those cards come on I am reminded of an extremely lazy choice made from a production team that seemed to put a lot of effort in every other aspect. Every other aspect seems authentic and very enjoyable. Why did they do this. I can only assume it came down to time restraints or perhaps miscommunication. But I personally know that AI  can create better “art” than is present in this movie. It would be much better if it was completely cut from the movie, or changed in post now that it’s been released. As to the other aspects of the movie. I find it a very fun campy romp perfect for a Halloween night. The ending is definitely the highlight of the movie.  David damalchian gives a great performance and the scene with the worms has fantastic practical effects.  Overall this is a pretty fun movie that is held back by something that was ultimately very avoidable.

This movie is a clever idea that could have benefited from less transitions between 4:3 and 1:85:1 aspect ratios.  And, I’m sorry but did the backstage footage change from B&W to color with no explanation? The most jarring transition was when we shifted from found footage to a surreal fictional dreamscape without skipping a beat (maybe there was an aspect ratio change - I can’t recall).  But no worries - I’n sure A.I. can fix these blemishes for the blu-ray (ba dum ching).   And what was with the Bohemian Grove stuff? Did that twerp Ben Shapiro produce this?
