9/10
The latest and greatest in original modern horror
27 April 2024
Late Night with the Devil is about a late night talk show host struggling not only with ratings and being able to keep up with the then sovereign late-night televised power known as "Johnny Carson," but also with his personal hell as well. He's willing to pay a price though, at the expense of others....

The acting was great. The direction and writing, pretty freaking good. What really hit the mark, was the set design, the atmosphere, and the contrast between what was fake, and what wasn't.

I will say, the ending was a bit confusing and clouded. The build up was almost masterful. Then the climax hits, you're excited and thrilled for 60-90 seconds, and then, POOF. Horror momentum slows to a crawl. You expect more, but less is given. I will say, I love the direction most of the time, and even though the climax was a bit disappointing, I enjoyed the film from start to finish.

However, if you are expecting a total blood bath, you may be a tad disappointed. Still, don't let it discourage you from watching it. It's worth at least a FEW views in your lifetime.
