#10b: THE UNCLE DEVIL SHOW - written by Donald Todd; Directed by David Steinberg
_____
This is a short segment that emphasizes dark humor and a bit of surrealism in the FX. A small kid switches on a new video and follows the instructions of the host; the magic tricks the kid is instructed on actually work and the world changes around him, even as his oblivious parents talk about how kids need more attention. This one recalls the It's a Good Life segment in the Twilight Zone movie (not the original episode), with some goofy yet disturbing images. BoG's Score: 7 / 10
