Like Ghostwatch reimagined as a cheesy 1970s chat show, this deviously clever found-footage horror has scares to spare.
In October 1977, waning late-night talk show host Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) made television history when his audience-baiting Halloween special spiralled fatally out of control. Four decades on, a rediscovered master tape finally reveals what really happened the night all hell broke loose on live TV.
Meticulously crafted and boasting a wicked sense of humour, this delightfully nasty analogue throwback finds the perfect balance between satire and shocks.
