Late Night with the Devil

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.

New York Magazine/Vulture

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

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

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

Its smart use of mostly practical effects work and its disciplined approach makes for a sometimes tense, often funny and always impressive horror film that even scaredy cats will appreciate.

Rated: 3/5

Ian Bunting

Daily Record (UK)

Late Night with the Devil is fresh, frightening and fully engaging as it furnishes the television chat show format with nightmare guests that make Grace Jones, Oliver Reed and Emu seem like puss*cats.

Shane M Great movie. Different than most scary movies Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Tyler S Was new and exciting! Couldn’t recommend enough! Rated 5/5 Stars • 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 3.5/5 Stars • 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review John T Awesome unique story with a great cast and the pacing was perfect! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review David J pretty good watch it builds up Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
