Overview
Set in 1977 during a live Halloween broadcast of a failing late-night talk show, Late Night with the Devil unfolds in real-time as the host invites a medium and a supposedly possessed girl onto the stage… with hellish consequences.
What Works
- Stunning recreation of 70s aesthetics — VHS grime and all.
- David Dastmalchian delivers a career-defining performance as host Jack Delroy.
- A genuinely terrifying final act with Lovecraftian vibes.
- Innovative blend of found footage and live broadcast formats.
What Falls Short
- Pacing drags in the second act while building toward the climax.
- The metaphysical lore gets muddy for casual viewers.
Final Verdict
A haunting, genre-savvy experiment that punches way above its weight. For fans of Ghostwatch and The Exorcist, this is a must-see séance into madness.
