Movie Of The Week: Late Night With The Devil (2024)

Cameron and Colin Cairnes direct David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon and Ingrid Torelli in this period horror purporting to be the broadcast of a Seventies late night chat show where the devil appears, intermixed with behind the scenes footage.

One of the best acted horror flicks in a long old time. Dastmalchian and newcomer Torelli both put in gorgeously enigmatic performances that invite rewatches. The tone and look of the studio set are spot on. Slow burn with a sense of humour. When the shocks come they are full fat. The Cairnes Brothers do show us a little too much after a simple cut to commercial would have done the trick but as breakout calling cards go, I’m eager to see what they do next.
