Late Night with the Devil Reviews
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

Carves its own identity from familiar materials, making a unique space for itself in an increasingly crowded field.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 17, 2025
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.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2024
a thoroughly enjoyable horror that embraces the aesthetics and the dynamics of 1970s television.

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.

Like tuning into late night, Late Night with the Devil gives you pretty much exactly what you expect.

Late Night with the Devil is the cleverest found footage film since The Blair Witch Project.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2024
Late Night With The Devil works because all elements come together as a whole.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2024
For horror enthusiasts it is a hell of a lot of fun.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 13, 2024
An original and disturbing horror film that takes the found footage formula to new grounds, showing us how the excessive ambition for success can become an unstoppable evil force. [Full Review in Spanish]

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

The star is undoubtedly David Dastmalchian, whose always reserved, hesitant and shy face is perfect for playing a Jack Delroy who is evidently nervous, stressed, and to a certain extent uncomfortable with everything happening. [Full review in Spanish]

Though it takes one too many liberties with its structural concept, Late Night with the Devil is a lot of fun to watch, and one of the few found-footage horror movies where it feels like you’re actually supposed to laugh… until, of course, you’re not.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 5, 2024
Did the malefic forces ever consider that possession might be more effective if they didn't afflict the subject with split skin, pronounced veins, and scary eyeballs every time? If possession actually looks pleasant, maybe a demon's job would be easier.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 27, 2024
In a genre that produces so many variations of the same thing ... Late Night With the Devil offers a fresh approach. It has the low-budget production values of an old Roger Corman movie ... and the Cairnes brothers use this to the film’s advantage.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 20, 2024
An exercise in style that, because it is so good, even serves to conceal the weakest points of its proposal. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2024
Very good. [Full review in Spanish]

Late Night with the Devil proposes a spiral, a crescendo of delirium that has moments of horror, but works even better as a dark comedy, and a satire of the media universe when live television reigned in homes. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 17, 2024
“Late Night with the Devil” is a one-joke movie, and it isn’t a big deal, but it’s carny-huckster cheesiness goes down easy.
| Jul 10, 2024
It works, but not completely; it's a little scary, but not as much as I would have liked. And it takes advantage of the format it has imposed on itself... but it is also limited by it. That is to say, it is an irregular experience. Full review in Spanish.
