*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“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?

Late Night with the Devil is twisted fun!

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.

Cobweb weaves together an unsettling story filled with plenty of disturbing and hair-raising moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Unsettling from start to finish…

This movie didn’t waste any time with unnecessary fluff or set-up. We got right into the creepy stuff and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. This film was very effective at creating an eerie tone and even some of the conversations and small moments felt very unnerving, adding to the overall vibe.

In a lot of ways, this film sort of reminded me of a mix of The Black Phone and Barbarian. It explored tangible fears while keeping the audience guessing about where the real threat was.

Insane final act!

I already thought this movie was freaky enough, but then we got to the final act and my jaw dropped. It was crazy in the best way possible. I haven’t been this excited about a reveal in a horror movie in a long time. It grabbed hold of the audience and never let go, effectively giving me some new nightmares in the process!

Wow…

The Cons:

The characters make some really bad decisions…

Look, I get it. We wouldn’t have a movie if they didn’t, but I was almost yelling at the screen at some points. I just don’t get it when characters decide to investigate things on their own without calling anyone…

It’s not realistic, but I’ll leave this alone because the movie was so fantastic.

So am I in or out?
