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.

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

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

Rated: 4/5

It’s sharp little horror film, and if I look askance at all the 'best horror movie of 2024' talk, it’s only because the year isn’t even half over. ... [A] spot-on recreation of both the look and the gonzo attitude of the 1970s...[i]t's clever and it's fun

A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast

A creepy (and gorgeous) film packed with amazing performances led by David Dastmalchian. It gets under the skin as it sprints towards its mind-bending conclusion.

Rated: 3.5/5

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