Critics Consensus

Delightfully dark, Late Night with the Devil proves possession horror isn't played out -- and serves as an outstanding showcase for David Dastmalchian.

Audience Says

Late Night with the Devil does a great job of recapturing the late-night TV of the '70s, and horror fans will appreciate the way it doesn't rely on jump scares -- although they might not be satisfied with the ending.

Assured in their craft, the Cairnes brothers deliver fulsome ratings satire and sharp scares.

The cast makes Late Night With the Devil more than watchable, but they also raise our hopes for something better.

4/5

The Cairnes cite Sidney Lumet’s Network as an influence and I’m not surprised. They have come up with a worthy successor.

They made the genius move to explain that this is a failing talk show, so Jack Delroy’s wooden presence and indiscernible personality actually sells the "why". That being said... the plot structure and utilization of the talk show format is great.

The late-night talk show aspect works so well because David Dastmalchian is charismatic in the role, drifting through monologue material, interview banter, and pulsating guilt.

3/5. Fun retro-styled indie movie. First 90% was great. The ending kinda flopped though with too much CGI and sloppy script writing.
