This horror comedy failed to deliver on the horror or the comedy for me, but I enjoyed watching it. I'd really describe it more as a supernatural thriller, like a Stephen King book where there are tense moments and a lot of mystical mumbo jumbo but it's not exactly scary.
While I think the technical aspects of recreating a 70's late night show could have been done a touch better, I did appreciate some of the details that were inserted. I particularly liked the James Randi-esque skeptic who offers up a check for proof of the paranormal, even if Randi was less snide about it. I appreciated some of the subtleties related to their hints towards the Bohemian Grove as well. It wasn't overly explained, but if you know about that stuff they did use it effectively. I particularly liked the way the film ended. It went a bit off the rails for a second, but the ultimate ending was solid.
Definitely not for everyone, probably not even so much for it's intended audience, but some people will appreciate this movie...whatever that means.
