use of AI just proves the filmmakers are lazy, not like the poorly written characters, dialogue, or story didn't already do that, i guess. the idea of talk show was great, the way it was executed was in every way textbook and laughable.
I enjoyed the movie until the climax at the end, the special effects were not good to so-so on two of the characters, while the other stuff looked pretty good. I learned that AI was used for these effects, and those shots in particular were the ones that made me not really care about the payoff going forward. Plot, casting, costuming were all good. Some of the believability of a found footage film, with all the behind the scenes and a few of the camera angles didn't make sense, but thats the hard part of found footage.
the most unique way i’ve seen found footage and occult horror mixed together, no notes
Favorite horror release of the year
A unique experience with creative cinematography
