Colin and Cameron Cairnes\u2019 \u201cLate Night with the Devil\u201d presents itself as a documentary about a haunted episode of a 1977 talk show, which we see in full.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following a recap of how once-promising talk show Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchain) has hit a personal rock bottom and is struggling to keep his program on the air, we watch the show’s final episode.<\/p>\n

Delroy showcases demonic possession as an effort to compete with Johnny Carson.<\/p>\n

It helps that Dastmalchian is very good in the lead, though it’s Ingrid Torelli who steals the film. She plays Lilly, a satanic cult survivor who is demonically possessed and, to put it mildly, unwisely brought onto a live TV broadcast to boost the ratings.<\/p>\n

Torelli has a presence that brings a completely different energy to the film. I found myself more afraid of Lilly than most other \u201cevil kids\u201d in these types of movies.<\/p>\n

The more the screenplay draws out the premise, the better the film plays, as the anticipation is far more successful than the wrap up. Like a joke with a dud punchline but a great build, we get a well-made and entertaining work, though it\u2019s easy to get ahead of it.<\/p>\n

The thematic exploration of how the 1970s brought about televised horror and a shift in this country\u2019s history is overlooked in the end in favor of the overtly supernatural payoff. The film overall is most successful when reminding us that our local news and low-fi, CGI\/AI-free age showed us horrors that were unimaginable and real.<\/p>\n

Just watching the six o\u2019clock news was enough to scar with stories and images that shook us during dinner time.<\/p>\n
