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.

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

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

Tidy period horror-comedy... Their directorial equipoise in the TV show format, sweetly satirical but open to bursts of evil, is splendid, faux-found footage notions churning at a high level. Will there be politics? (If you like.)

Rated: 9/10

B-Sides & Badlands

Late Night with the Devil appears as among the year’s coolest and most inventive films. There’s no denying its eventual impact on horror storytelling and what found footage could look like in the future.

Rated: 3.5/5

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 pussycats.

Interesting movie. I likely the old school setting. Nothing spectacular but it kept me entertained the entire time.

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 out of 5 stars
