"While none of it reaches the traumatising, ghoulish levels of Jimmy Fallon's fake laugh that haunts our current TV screens, the Cairnes' already strong direction becomes even more effective once the film begins to add panic into the mix. The ramp-up of tension and body horror jolts that happen during the actual show are impressively visualised and they don't rely on cheap tricks even if sceptics would like to believe so. Despite some unintended irregularities that happened during my screening experience (which might fit the ''uncovered tapes'' aura), the resourcefulness concerning both the practical—such as Marie Princi and Russell Sharp's makeup work—and digital visual effects is noticeable and admirable." - S.J., After Misery
