A struggling late night show host desperate for ratings takes a horrible risk in Late Night with the Devil, a ’70s found footage style horror about a talk show going from funny to scary quicker than you can say “we’ll be right back”.
Starring David Dastmalchian as troubled host Jack Delroy, the Cairnes brothers’ movie revolves around a Halloween special in which the interview subject is the (possibly possessed) survivor of a Satanic cult.
“Paying tribute to ’70s horror, Late Night with the Devil is steeped in the era’s aesthetic and its emerging moral anxiety, as well as the methodical pacing that draws us in, grabs on tight, and won’t let go until that final ghoulish moment,” wrote Mashable’s Kristy Puchko in her review. “Tune in and hang on. Dastmalchian and his demon are coming for you.”
How to watch: Late Night with the Devil premieres in theatres March 22, before streaming on Shudder.
