Late Night With the Devil Movie Review

Late Night With the Devil is a found-footage and documentary-style 2023 horror film written, directed and edited by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, starring David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, and Fayssal Bachi. Desperate for better ratings in the 1970's compared to Johnny Carson--whom I watched religiously as a kid--a late-night TV host of a program called Night Owls, who worships at the Grove when he's off work, unleashes hell on earth into the studio and into the living rooms of the viewers. 

On Halloween night, host Jack Delroy (Dastmalchian), after losing his wife to cancer, has stacked the evening with creepy guests, including a medium, a skeptic, and a 13-year-old possessed girl named Lilly (Bachi) who was the only escapee from a house of Anton Levay-style Satanists after a fire. I found Lilly fascinating the way she stared at me through the camera, as if in the mind of the viewer. Also clever was the first movie about elite, demonic worshippers at the Grove. In fact, when Jack talks a parapsychologist into bringing out Lilly's demon, the devil says he knows Jack from worshipping among the trees. 

Jack's worst fears come true when pure evil is unleashed in the studio and on his life, leaving him without hope and in big trouble, big trouble!

Enjoy if you haven't seen it yet. \m/ \m/
