Summary
A late night tv show plays host to the Devil.
This most likely is the best horror of the year, so far but I could see it being the best overall as well. It works on so many levels and each time you watch it there is more to appreciate and sink your teeth into. I watched this several times in cinema because the ending of the film recontextualises the whole thing so it demands a second watch to be able to see all the new little details in it.
The horror mixes over the course of the film with some off beat comedy elements but rather than cancel each other out and not work, hear they come together well to produce both a number of funny moments and also some genuinely chilling scares. The horror here is built through character and atmosphere which is always a treat as it creates more of an enveloping experience and the scares are more powerful as a result.
I think the best praise I can give this film is that it is well written and that makes it a damn sight better than a lot of the horror films releasing these days.
Overall, a must watch for any horror fan.
