    Reviewed this for our podcast - found this a long time ago with my brother in law, we both had a great time watching this - it plays on tropes from other horror movies and isn't affairs to take itself too seriously - a popcorn movie it is with a light hearted message.

    Enjoyed this - the premise is of the movie being one episode of a late night talk show was great. 
    Main actor did a wonderful job, glad he got to headline a movie - first saw him as a henchmen in The Dark Knight - he was great as polka dot
    Man in the suicide squad. 

    Was prepared for it to be very scary but it wasn’t - there’s terror there but done well.

    Not my go to genre but with the second installment out and coworkers saying they enjoyed it - I gave it a go. 
    I found main characters decent into madness annoying and made me not enjoy the movie - the entity’s metaphor for being trauma was a good angle but I’d preferred to never meet it, think it would have been scarier

    I was fortunate to see this as a screener - I can’t say I would have gone to the theatre to watch it, probable would have waited to stream. 
    Didn’t like it - 
    The trailer was enticing as they always are, but I wished I hadn’t seen it, gave too much away, but then i thought, that’s the twist, Josh can’t be the killer, too easy,
    I was wrong -
