SXSW FILM REVIEW: Supernatural satire shows the hellish price of success.
Cameron and Colin Cairnes’s film starts with a narrated profile of fictional 1970s late night talk show host Jack Delroy and his variety programthat acts as an alternative to the likes of Johnny Carson. Despite enjoying modest success, Jack lives in the ceaseless shadow of his contemporaries, a fact exacerbated by his despair when his wife succumbs to lung cancer.
That’s when the aesthetic shifts, and the style turns into a black-and-white vérité sense of behind-the-scenes commotion as the crew readies for the return from break—and wonders whether or not a real haunting is going on.
