Rent Late Night with the Devil (2023)

exceptional taut horror - Late Night with the Devil review by AER

the difference between Late Night With The Devil and your hordes of other horrors are the performances. Presented as a missing episode of a late night variety show on TV that goes tragically awry this brings horror to viewers in a new respect. The acting is atypical of a horror film but a live TV event, so how it manages to be terrifying is something short of a miracle. However, when the veil is lifted in the last 10 minutes, it loses it's stragnelhold. However, you won't have seen another horror flick like this. It's very entertaining and an all-too-rare treat that brings innovation and scares. Do not miss.

Although an original premise... - Late Night with the Devil review by TB

Although an original premise, and quite watchable, this film did come across as kinda dumb, verging on stupid...

The original premise also is a catch-22 in respect to the fact that it is almost impossible to suspend disbelief, and the nature of the film (when you know what happens) makes the film have practically zero rewatchable value (although maybe does if you actually like the film).

It does have the odd moment I suppose, but as a whole, it seems flawed.

Occasionally Interesting Demonic Possession & Found Footage Horror. - Late Night with the Devil review by GI

A 'found footage' type horror film with demonic possession as the sub genre on show here. Set in the 1970s where a failing late night chat show hosted by Jack (David Dastmalchian) has one last go at boosting its ratings and staying on air by having a Halloween special where an allegedly devil possessed young girl is interviewed and has the demon inside her called forth. The resulting tape of the show having been later discovered and shown here. There's an element of satire in this narrative that has some expected gory moments and ghostly snapshots that you have to be watching closely to catch. It's all wrapped up by a plot that involves Jack having made some pact with Satan and this final show revealing the price he is having to pay. It's a neat recreation of the 70s style of show that it showcases but it's a fairly routine horror film that fans of the genre will no doubt love. For the rest of us its fairly forgettable.
