Late Night With The Devil achieves that rare feat of feeling like something we were never supposed to see. But once we’ve seen it, we can’t look away.
This is a pressure-cooker film, an exercise in small-budget simplicity that leans on one set and one goal: Keep ’em watching.

While slower in pace to other horror movies out at the moment, the consistent tone and rising tension kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time I was watching in the theater
Report
This was a very well done movie. Evokes the 70's ethos perfectly. This was an interesting take on the exorcism genre with a few twists here and there. I liked the interplay between the skeptic and the other guests on the talk show. Time definitely flew by watching this and I highly recommend this film for those who enjoy horror.

Late Night with the Devil is at its best when it colours within the lines of the found-footage genre.
This is an irresistible throwback to not only old-school horror, but old-school television.
Though not quite a slam-dunk — its sum impact is more pleasingly ingenious than indelible — Late Night With the Devil definitely reps a personal best for the Cairnses.
The cast makes Late Night With the Devil more than watchable, but they also raise our hopes for something better. While the talk-show approach makes perfect structural and narrative sense, it also drains the film of suspense, as we pretty much know where everything is going.
It's richly imagined, and you can tell everyone had fun immersing themselves in this strange and often disturbing world.
The format is interesting and the build up is somewhat good. It suceeds in creating an eerie atmosphere and it is entertaining and it does keep you invested. But it can be cheesy and the special effects look like they could've been made with Adobe Effects in 2008. If you liked the trailer, I think you'll enjoy it, but don't set your expectations based on these great reviews or you might be disappointed.

The movie tries so hard to be original... but falls drastically short. The execution is just not quite there. The characters, tilt just on the edge of ridiculous, the storytelling tilts just on the edge unbelievable. You are left trying to convince yourself that it will pay off, but it doesn't.
There's genuine moments that are good, convincing and interesting, but that just adds to the yearning you get, wanting this movie to work.

I was not a fan. The acting is cheesy, and even if its on purpose I wasnt into it. The script was boring, it wasnt scary or eerie at all. Feels like a forced "cult" classic horror movie. The script was obvious and boring. Nothing visually appealing or interesting. Im waited the entire movie for something cool to happen. the only character i enjoyed was the possessed girl. I will say the costume designer was on point, everybody and everything felt very 70s. Otherwise its a pass for me.

Gotta be kidding me with these high marks. Are idiots so afraid of any type of negativity that the truth just isn't allowed anymore?
Its basically the exorcist with a cult involved and 70s theme show attached. Theres nothing horror based about it, the excution is straight up bad.
The main actor obviously carries this movie but hes also been in a lot better movies than this.
