“Good evening Night Owls…”

Late Night with the Devil released in theaters on March 22nd 2024. The found footage horror film stars David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Georgina Haig, and Ingrid Torelli. It runs for an hour and thirty-two minutes.

On Halloween night in 1977, a live broadcast of a late night talk show goes horribly wrong when a demon is unleashed on stage.

Here is the trailer:

Late Night with the Devil is captivating, engrossing, and wickedly entertaining. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

David Dastmalchian is exceptional.

He commanded the screen and then some! I thought he fully embraced his role with flair. He was so convincing on screen that I almost thought this was really happening. This may be one of the best horror performances I have witnessed in a long time. Seriously, he was that good. Amazing performance!

Insane final act!

I was impressed by the overall pacing of this film and by the time I got to the final act, I was blown away. It was so over-the-top and insane, sticking the landing with ease. I thought the ending was satisfying for the audience, making this even more of a compelling watch. 

The Cons:

I don’t have many…

I know that there has been some backlash to this film because it utilized AI generated art for some images. I don’t know much about that so I’m just going to leave that there.

I’m also not normally a huge fan of found footage films (although there are some exceptions), but this one felt different from the rest. It just felt like I was simply watching this transpire on the television screen, which was absolutely genius. So if you’re thinking of skipping it because it’s a found footage film, I would say to give it a chance. 

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Late Night with the Devil is twisted fun!

A found footage film that delivers without over-complicating things.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
