This would have been perfect for a V/H/S segment, and it wouldn't shock me if the original concept was for an anthology.
20-30 minutes of just a struggling late night show bringing on a demon. Strip away the conspiracy and dead wife and focus more on the success/fame more intensely.
Agree with that. There was a lot of it that just felt slow and unnecessary. And it was acted like a VHS/anthology as well (i.e. acted fairly poorly), although that is part of the appeal and makes it seem more "real" as a legit 70s late night show clip.
Also, the whole "Grove" angle with the gatherings of celebrities in the woods performing rituals just felt sort of overly forced and out of place, and dind't really jive with anything.

Finally got around to watching this weekend. I have to say, I was not all that impressed.

It was forced with no real explanation and was a driving force in the shitty voiceover to start the movie.
Keeping it "straight" with him just being the captain of a sinking ship, grieving over loss and changing himself to stay in the limelight, is a much better angle, to me. Flipping it into a forced "you sold your soul" angle, was silly. It could have been fleshed out and not made so forced, but they went for 90 minutes instead.
I am a sucker for found footage and occult demonology, but this movie tried to force it all in, wrapped around a nostalgic bow.

That was the whole point. He made a deal with the devil.
It makes no sense without that.
