The Big Picture What is it that we think of when we think of late-night television? With a few exceptions, it is built around a simple formula of jokey monologues, rotating guests, and the occasional musical performance. It is also an illusion as everything is prewritten, including the very questions that will be asked of the guests.

Set during the 1970s, it stars David Dastmalchian as the fictional late-night host Jack Delroy, who is trying to boost ratings by any means possible.
Helmed by longtime indie horror filmmakers Colin and Cameron Cairnes, who have a clear affinity and love for the genre, it wears its influences on its sleeve. It would be incorrect to call it a spoof of works like The Exorcist as it feels more like a riffing on them as it borrows key elements. Without tipping off too much of where it takes us, there is a young character who is introduced whose eyes and voice bring with it a whole cinematic history that is then made into something new.
That the film later undoes much of this, offering an explicit explanation that undercuts the gory thrill of what happened, makes it feel like it stumbles just before the finale. It manages to move beyond this misstep by pulling back the curtain completely, collapsing the constructed world of late night into the supernatural one alongside it. As the broadcast then becomes maddeningly surreal, it really finds a sweet spot.
