All on set
Not often I watch a film so closely usually distracted by my phone or pausing to fetch a snack. Here I was engrossed from the very start with a feeling that everything was happening live, helping to keep me in the present moment.
Being a period piece didn't seem to be important and will need a while to consider why it couldn't be set in present day as a night show on a smaller cable channel. It did however help me this feel like it will become a cult classic while actually touching on secret cult Skull and Crossbones type conspiracies. With the main character having a definite element of ambiguity on his reputation.
This had great camera work on a tiny set and might be the first time a carved pumpkin has taken on a sinister element for me. The two major horror scenes were done very well calling to mind the exorcist and early 80s rental gore.
I have to admit by the final scene it got confusing and didn't come together for me at all. Maybe a second watch will make it clearer as it did appear to tie in with the introduction sequence.
Instead of watching a late night show, watch this.
