A meticulously crafted found-footage horror that traps you in the control room and studio of a failing talk show as supernatural dread creeps in during a live broadcast. It's a slow-building exercise in mounting tension and body horror that interrogates desperation and ambition.

Reviews
I love, love, love the execution of the documentary intro into the episode of the 70s talk show. I wish the last 15 minutes or so just wasn't there.
This was pretty cool. I don't usually like "found footage" movies due to the shaky camera work and the tendency to feel disjointed with the cuts. Found footage of a late night talk show doesn't have those issues. It feels more like a faux documentary. The lead is the only actor I recognize, so it was easy to feel immersed in this being old talk show footage
I didn't think it was especially scary. It was suspenseful though and kept me guessing. It's an original and interesting concept that was executed very well.
