LATE NIGHT WITHOUT A SHRED OF THE DEVIL
26 April 2024
Despite its promising premise, "Late Night With The Devil" fails to deliver on its potential as a supernatural horror film. The movie struggles to evoke fear or suspense, instead opting for a slow-paced narrative that feels lackluster and somewhat boring. The first half of the film is dominated by mundane conversations on a talk show, with little to propel the story forward.

While the concept of the film is original, it is let down by poor execution and a lack of scary moments. Despite its title, the appearance of the Devil and other supernatural elements are saved for the final act, leaving viewers waiting for any semblance of horror until the end. The film relies more on gore than genuine supernatural terror, missing the opportunity to fully utilize its potential.

However, "Late Night With The Devil" does have its strengths. The cast delivers strong performances, and the cinematography effectively captures the atmosphere of a 70s-style talk show. The costumes are also commendable, adding to the film's aesthetic appeal.

Unfortunately, these positives are overshadowed by the film's lackluster story and failure to evoke any real emotion. While it may be an easy watch, "Late Night With The Devil" ultimately falls short of leaving a lasting impression on its audience.
