What to Know

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.

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.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Assured in their craft, the Cairnes brothers deliver fulsome ratings satire and sharp scares. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture The cast makes Late Night With the Devil more than watchable, but they also raise our hopes for something better. Apr 20, 2024 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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 Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Aside from a couple of jump scares “Late Night…” didn’t particularly terrorize me. But I was absolutely mesmerized by the filmmakers’ recreation of a time and place. Rated: B- Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Like tuning into late night, Late Night with the Devil gives you pretty much exactly what you expect. Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper The People's Movies Late Night with the Devil is the cleverest found footage film since The Blair Witch Project.

KXF 3/5. Fun retro-styled indie movie. First 90% was great. The ending kinda flopped though with too much CGI and sloppy script writing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Tom C What a wild, freaky night at the movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Shane M Great movie. Different than most scary movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Tyler S Was new and exciting! Couldn’t recommend enough! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Robert O Interesting movie. I likely the old school setting. Nothing spectacular but it kept me entertained the entire time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Irwin F Interesting story, great design, horrible acting, horrible direction, horrible execution. Yes, it's unique, such a wasted opportunity. It may have been groundbreaking if it had actually been released in 1977, but found footage movies require a higher standard of realism and human reaction - this really failed on both fronts.
