Late Night with the Devil

Master of Mystery and Champion of Chills David Dastmalchian stars as the devilish Jack Delroy in this instant-classic masterpiece of horror cinema, where you can tell he feels right at home.
There has always been something uniquely captivating and almost nostalgic about the elusive truth behind the goings on in HollyWEIRD in the 60's and 70's. Several filmmakers have attempted to squeeze that gargantuan concept into their work in the decades since that mystery-shrouded era. But where other brilliant films like Bad Times at the El Royale and Under the Silver Lake feel safe gently poking around at the surface level, Late Night with the Devil takes a deep dive into the belly of the whale.
Something the film pulls off almost flawlessly is the tone of suspense throughout. From the opening moments, every scene builds upon the one before it in an ever-rising Shepard tone, growing louder and louder until the very end. It does this so well, it's almost like that feeling of suspense is still following you as you exit the theater.
It feels like this movie was hand-crafted for the midnight screenings experience. The atmosphere created by the idea that this is not fiction, but we are in fact watching the real master tapes from that night, those physical objects are playing in our projector right now, makes for a unique spooky experience. Do yourself a favor and watch Late Night with the Devil with all the lights off, don't pause it or get up to go to the bathroom. Just sit back and be taken in by the anomaly. Maybe Jack Delroy still has something to say to you.
To say much more really wouldn't do the film justice, I just can't recommend it enough. I know I already mentioned the incomparable David Dastmalchian, but the rest of the ensemble cast deserves their flowers too, especially Ingrid Torelli, who gives one of the best and most unsettling horror performances ever as the possessed Lilly. I hope you enjoy Late Night with the Devil as much as I did ...

SO IT IS DONE

What a fun watch. Kept my attention for the entire movie -which does not happen a lot these day!

A M A Z I N G! Such a fresh take on such an unoriginal subject! Based on true events and ppl (if you know you know) Superb acting, casting, directing! The set up, premise... FLAWLESS! EASILY TOP 10 OF 2023!

One of the most anxiety-inducing horror movies I've ever watched. The film teases and builds throughout its runtime until it implodes in horrendous and glorious fashion. A must watch for horror fans.

It is honestly so refreshing to watch a movie that is trying new things! i was paying attention to everything every second of it. i'm still not sure of how i feel about the ending, but the experience was totally worth it!

I didn't know that they could still make a unique horror film. The story is a bit original, it has some similarities with some 80s and 90s horror like the one with the VHS tape but here is it done masterfully a found footage film (blair witch project style but in a good way not an overhyped super advertise "real" thing).

I was captivated from the style and direction, the cinematography was fantastic and the casting was well done. The ending for me explains it all, you do not need to overanalyze it and just end the film. Also a true horror for only 90 minutes no need to drag it out like modern times.

This is an instant classic with no extreme violence of slashing, just pure phycological.

A fun ride. The beginning 45 minutes or so was a bit slow, but I enjoyed the 70s nostalgia enough to keep involved in the story. Then, the fun began and built up to an awesome ending. Certainly a different type of movie - kind of akin to how the Blair Witch Project was so different when it came out.

I knew I had to watch this when I saw it was by the producers of Barbarian, and I wasn't disappointed. It's not a "scary" horror film, but it did keep me on the edge of my seat. It plays to classic horror tropes, and gives me a classic Twilight Zone vibe. If you've seen a lot of classic horror then you can probably guess where it's headed part way into the film, but despite it being somewhat predictable I didn't find it any less entertaining.

Very entertaining! The setting is obviously an easy draw, and the lead is always great whenever he is involved. The ending and effects were a bit campy and low-budget, but that was somewhat charming to me
