            The movie isn't "found footage" as in being shackled to strict, unadventurous expectations-- it wanted to be more than that and accomplished it.

                It's not about "believing"-- it's about the way the script uses the hypnotism session as a Chekhov gun that later makes the delirious final sequence narratively feasible. It explains why we see what we see outside the confines of the ff format.

                No, you're a low IQ type sperging out bc muh found footage rules weren't mechanically adhered to and it triggers your autizmo. It's a fricking movie.
                It clearly, deliberately stepped out of the documentary representation into a delirious/hypnotic state. At the very last scene it goes back to the ff format as the presenter repeats the words to break the trance.
                But if you feel triggered bc you really did expect 90 mins of demonic possession you're just an imbecile who hasn't learned how to watch and approach movies and fiction in general.

                Because ff is but one narrative tool among many the directors/writers may choose to use at their discretion.
                They're not beholden to the international ff council or to the expectations of narrowminded types who expect predictability in the way movies, tropes and genres are presented.

      It's implied he did. In the backstage sequences the producers tells the presenter about the record ratings the live show was getting. Which is why the presenter becomes bolder and complies with the live audience's request to have a demonstration of Lilly's possession-- which in turn makes the debunker guy do a hypnotism session that the demon promptly uses to fool the presenter and make him stab the girl.

      David Dastmalchian (Jack) gave an interview to Variety and was asked directly about the possibility of the devil being in the audience/in the movie.

      "Okay, I’m going to come out and ask it. The people in the audience in costume — particularly the mute skeleton — is that the devil?"

      "The skeleton to me, in the end, is someone whose come from the coven to make sure and collect. The devil, in my opinion, really only makes one quick appearance in the film. And it’s quite subtle. I’m genuinely enjoying seeing on social media that people who have now been into their second or third view of the film and they’re going, “Ah, I see when we got a quick appearance!” Because as June says, she believes that Mr. Wriggles may not be the Satan itself or Abraxas itself, but a minor deity that is serving towards the greater cause, if you will."

      So what was the devil Cinemaphile? He claims it shows up only briefly

      When he walks on stage on the new show right in the center of the audience is devil horns, the skeleton was apparently seen out in the forest.

      The dying wife impersonation who asks him to stab "her"

      Didn't the devil already have a deal with johnny?

      Not necessarily. I think a major theme of the movie is the perils towards associating oneself with occult practices. Even without outright making a pact/selling one's soul, inviting this type of element into one's life brings along evil effects.
      Since his ratings keep falling (except when he paraded his dying wife), it's reasonable to assume evil was enticing him to return to it by exploiting it on his show.

      Seems like you have this impression found footage has to be normal all the time? There is supernatural FF and stuff to weird to let the public view FF. All of these can exist together.

                >Its the whole point of the genre
                Genres have no "point". They coalesce around certain tropes and techniques but neither are mandatory. In fact, stepping outside them is what makes movies fresh rather than stale fast-food fodder for lowest common denominators.
                The artist goes further so as to make things more interesting, as Orson Welles did when he filmed Lady from Shanghai using mostly daylight scenes.
                >how can you not see how dumb and immersion breaking that is?
                Because the only thing dumb about it is you and your midwit expectation that it'd follow another route that doesn't trigger you.
                Immersion isn't a huge effort for ppl of average intelligence and above since it should be easy to flow with the movie while being unattached to an insecure yearning for predictability.

                No it doesn't. FF movies that go outside the confines of the format or use it partially or in novel ways abound and this is good because it challenges rather than anesthetize the viewers.
                LTWTD is a huge success for several reasons and being a formulaic ff fortunately isn't one of them.

    what the frick was up with the commercial break segments? it went from being found footage style to suddenly being the office? the camera keeps moving around and the way its set up feels like its meant to have that fly on the wall type of set up, really fricked up the immersion
    those segments could've been dropped entirely or at least have the characters being focused on go off to the side of the stage or something and the camera zooms in, but instead it just switches to this new black and white camera

      The movie's a documentary about the last night of the Night Owl live tv show. After the introduction, it shows the tapes from that night (until we get into the mass hypnosis segment at the end)..
      My one objection was alternating between full and widescreen, should have been fullscreen up until the final sequence which wasn't filmed so to speak.

    It's not bad but I didn't really like it, it just doesn't commit enough with anything to be truly engaging. It doesn't start as a found footage, so the immersion is already damaged. Everything goes too fast because the movie doesn't want to have the boring realistic parts of a talk show, so you're never convinced you're really watching actual footage, and the behind the scenes is too good quality to actually feel like it too. The climax also feels really misplaced. I think it's trying to emulate old movies with dated special effects, but since the story is building up to a supposed real event, going all marvel powers in the end destroy the little of immersion that was left. And finally, the movie also doesn't end as a found footage, jumping out of it to continue the story. It's not bad, but I think it could be executed better or be more focused, for me it's a 5/10.
