LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted

[@michaelstrong5383]

I'm just glad to see David Dastmalchian in a leading role after playing supporting characters in his career.

[@ChillSun-Music]

I think my first time seeing him was in a gum or phone ad

[@johntrentis_my_hero6667]

Honestly he was the best part of the movie. I’m lukewarm on it overall, and the ending didn’t quite stick for me, but David was great, no doubt.

[@BlazingOwnager]

Yep, absolutely! So glad to see him get a shot at a true lead.. and glad to see him own it.

[@smittycal]

He needs his flowers for real.. and more leading roles

[@Novin.S]

I like when an underrated actor who is always typecast as a side character, finally takes the leading role in a film and receives critical acclaim. The movie looks really good. The trailer reminded me of "The House of the Devil". Love letters to the 70s horror cinema.

[@dougdeveloper8850]

Might as well parrot what I'm sure everyone else will be saying. I've seen many interviews with David Dastmalchian and those who interviewed him has said he is genuinely very down to earth and a nice guy. For an actor who looks very "unconventional" who doesn't always get lead roles, it's awesome he finally got one.

This is my favorite horror film since Barbarian. The concept was so ingeniously handled, and I absolutely loved the idea of a found footage film in a tv format.

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

But...Barbarian was goofy trash?

[@FantasyYeet]

Barbarian was straight up bad. I had a dinner party and afterwards we went to go watch Barbarian before going to the casino. We checked out 70% of the way through and all left. Not sure why people enjoyed Barbarian. Malignant was 100x better.

[@parareefaelias656]

I liked, not love Barbarian . Smile was much better.

[@parareefaelias656]

​Barbarian is full of clever ideas but is uneven. And not scary at all. Midsommar is scary heredetary is scary, smile , get out... Is okay trying to do something new to horror genre but if your audience doesnt get scared whats the point?

[@ippoverse]

@@parareefaelias656None of those films are scary

[@Kittkattniss]

This is reminding me of a programme in the UK in the 1990s called ‘Ghostwatch’. It portrayed a ‘live’ show of a haunting at a house, where a team went to investigate and all hell broke loose. Though it was made to entertain for Halloween, it caused some controversy, as some folk actually believed it. Ryan Hollinger on KZbin summarises this well if you want to know more about it.

[@thehostofmmm]

Saw this movie last year at SXSW. Happy to see it finally released and getting a positive response from critics and audiences. David Dastmalchian nails the leading role, and hopefully, he gets more in the future. Full Price.

This would make a great triple feature with “WNUF Halloween Special” & “Out There Halloween Mega Tape”, each found footage tv Halloween specials from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s

[@WordUnheard]

I saw this last night, and I don't think that the black and white scenes were meant to be viewed as part of the found-footage. (SPOILERS) None of what was happening in Jack's head, all leading up to him believing he was stabbing his wife, only to realize he was stabbing Lily, was part of the found-footage aspect of the movie. It's easy to believe that the scenes happening during commercial break weren't either. They were all having conversations that they definitely wouldn't be having if they knew they were being filmed. Jack was the host and would have known where all of the cameras were.

[@Shakespearicles]

This might be one of the least scary horror movies I've seen, but it's also one of the most entertaining. No fight/flight response triggered, just a slowly increasing sense of dread. It lingers for a while after you watch it. Instant classic.

[@erniewyles8832]

I hear ya. Personally, I think 'scary' is very subjective. Some folks go for jump scares and define that as scary. I personally think jump scares are the cheapest form of scare tactic. I want to feel creeped out, held in high suspense of impending doom, and want a good payoff. If a movie delivers that, I feel it succeeded in being good horror. This movie did that, it kept me intrigued, and is still good upon second watch. The points you mentioned are exactly why I would classify this movie as a good horror movie. Gore works, if it's needed to emphasize a different shock in a scene. By itself, it's not meant to initiate dread, but shock alone. That isn't scary, that's shocking for the sake of being shocking. I believe Late Night With the Devil will be a classic and is a great watch on a dark and spooky night. It's a great Halloween season movie for sure and an instant classic for that time of the year.

Easily one of the best horror movies of the year. this one's going to be making A LOT of top 10 lists. I think the difference was primarily in david dastmachian's incredible performance. the story wasn't all that unique. it was goofy and similar to so many others... but yeah, the performances were just great, the atmosphere was thick, the stage looked great, the aesthetic was perfect, the way it was shot aided in a lot of the creep factor. Yeah, this was an outstanding movie.

The B&W parts are not found footage. It's the off the air events that took place.

[@erniewyles8832]

Right. Those are simply expository scenes for the viewer of the movie. The behind the scenes stuff mainly centers around the beginning background information that leads into the initial taping of the Night Owls Halloween Special. I do, however, feel the B&W parts could have been part of the behind the scenes stuff if they would have made these scenes work as though filmed by backstage surveillance cameras. This could easily have been done, provided closed captioning is put in to better make out what is being said (because the recordings would have been poor quality, along with the minimal quality sound). Done like this, the B&W scenes would have totally worked. That said, as it was presented works, and I was enthralled during these scenes as I knew they would be short (commercial breaks) and would provide context for what would be seen next.

[@erichighsmith3747]

Some good normal Dastmalchian roles are 'a teacher' and 'all creatures here below' where he is the main lead.

i would have to say "yes and no" to what you said. Yes, they are NOT part of the found footage. Yes, they are meant to provide exposition to the movie audience and are filmed "fly on the wall" style. But NO, they are not behind the scenes. The narrator, at the beginning states what follows is made of found footage of the last taping and behind the scenes footage. I feel the behind the scenes footage is what is presented as "Jack's introductory story, with the Bohemian Grove stuff, and the footage of him reacting to his wife's death, as filmed by news reporters".

[@erniewyles8832]

that's the best way to view a movie. Look at original movie trailers from the 80's. They gave simple premise, and nothing more. You wanted to know more...then go watch the movie in a theater. Full trailers then were equivalent to teaser trailers now. Nowadays, full trailers give all the points of the movie and leave with only the last 15 - 30 minutes to know what will happen. It's sad, actually. So this movie catching people off guard is a breath of fresh air. I'm hopeful other movies come out like that. The First Omen is another movie that had minimal exposure prior to release, and it is quite good as well.

[@rhysroberts3996]

I loved The Devil Late at Night. I highly recommend the British TV show "Inside No. 9." It has an episode-by-episode format, with each story being a bizarre and hilarious surprise. The Lee Mack episode, "3 by 3," has a particularly fun premise, reminding me a bit of this movie.

The demon was coming to collect on the one person who got away...Lily. He used Jack and his insecurities as a vessel to obtain Lily, while at the same time collecting Jack, who used his wife's sacrifice to Abraxis to become famous.

AI was use to further render those HUMAN CREATED images. And those images were only used in screen transitions. No one is in danger of losing their jobs.

I cannot in good concious say What made this a fun watch for me is the entire 70s late night Show motif they nailed everything about it.

Cause they are full 16:9 wide and the opening narration Ironside says what we are watching are the unedited raw tape

no, the 16:9 scenes are either expository or hallucinogenic. The found footage is anything that is letterboxed.

[@koolkel00]

I do agree that the black and white scenes do hinder the found footage angle, but at the same time i do think the serve the story immensely. I just think they could have took some inspired elements from even modern depictions of analog horror args in the cinematography, like make it look more natural in the way these bits of information are recorded, like from a distance and the audio is picking up conversation from afar, or they could have hidden just a little more of the behind the scenes if they really wanted to commit to the found footage angle.

The mistake folks keep making is calling this "found footage". It's analog horror, and if you're not familiar with what that is, you need to spend some time on KZbin to figure it out. It's a great genre, and I am really enjoying watching it start to get into movies on a larger scale.

When you said Tales from the Darkside, I was sold. My dad watched that when I was a kid and it scared me. Hated the music. So this is a movie I will be seeing today.

Problem with AI art is that it screws over artists. But I think if we're not going to get legislation regulating it then artists and graphic designers will need to figure out a way to use it as a tool rather than fight it, tbh.

Well said

[@nichescenes]

Yeah it’s not about it being noticable or not. This is turning into the elitist cgi vs pratical debate where they cry about not perfect cgi while not noticing things like cgi to turn grass green in films. When you’re not looking for it it’s not a problem. Reminds me of people crying that chainsawman should be all 2d and not understanding that shots they though were cgi where 2d sometimes so why bother wasting time drawing a chain moving every frame. People just complain. 😂like I am 😢😅

Y’all went full Carmichael on the Fast and furious movies and deservingly so 😂

[@rogermazuca4582]

For the life of me, I couldn't place where i had seen that guy Carmichael even though his voice sounded so familiar. Looked up and it's that guy Bane from Matrix Reloaded/Revelations. The way he says Mr Anderson 😅

[@Harry64278]

Thank you I was thinking the same. There was one more movie/show I saw him in also I just can’t remember and too lazy to google

[@shettywap]

I saw the movie a few hours ago. It's not too long, and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't feel like there was any time wasted or anything, so i really appreciate that. Definitely a fun fun watch.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

I really enjoyed this movie. Only criticism I have is the exposition to start the movie was kind of unnecessary. Probably due to budget but they should’ve let that information be revealed through story telling instead of exposition. I feel like the whole “nice to see you again Jack” part about bohemian grove would’ve hit harder

[@r8gingbull]

Love ur reviews! Can't wait to see this movie!

[@isuriadireja91]

this is the ONLY movie i'm really looking forward to, this year.

[@bjamiork]

Was supposed to see a year ago at Overlook Film Festival but I had to refund my ticket because the theater was overbooked with pass holders and ticket holders had to bounce 😂 I was so mad. Waited a whole damn year for this and really...it was just okay. Started off great but devolved into a confusing mess.

[@nichescenes]

Yeah people in comments and Korey were way harder on films that got higher than 7/10 on IMDb. Maybe the concept and shortness was it for them. Could have been done faster in a short 30. People say it had perfect pacing but it was slow. Guess that is good though for the type of film. I recall a similar film that did the idea in less time about a dude who is on a game show and given millions of the wife roulettes and she clicks 4 times or something sad that her husband and audience doesn’t care. Way more horrifying imo as it’s pshycological maybe I just predicted things too fast and was waiting for the mind blowing stuff people saw. Still 6-7/10.

[@iamnottim.]

Great flix. I cannot wait to watch it again.

[@fadedfishyyy]

Black people reviewing horror movies?! Oh the algorithm was on my side today, instant subscribe! I’ve rewatched this film at least 4x since seeing it in theaters and now I’m bout to watch it again after this review 🎉

[@sneedmando186]

Welcome, these guys are pretty cool

[@greenytaddict]

I don't think the black and white scenes were the found footage. No one was recording it so it doesn't make sense.

[@trainyourdog7351]

Can't wait to see it!

[@TheHotjdog]

The settings and the lighting give me vhs series vibes

[@noquarterdesign]

It literally states that the episode was planned to be a big comeback and that what you see is the master tape AND behind the scenes footage from the team. It wasn't an oversight.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Theres a UK anthology Series called Inside No.9, and this movie felt like a long episode of that, but not a good one...(there is a pretty good episode called 3x3 which is quite similar in theme)... The movie had a fantastic premise, period design and pastiche of the 70s chat shows, and the lead actor did a very good job, but it was neither funny nor creepy nor scary enough... Feels like a waste of a great idea

[@PaulChristianJenkinsJD]

The movie's budget is limited. There aren't a lot of familiar faces among the actors. However, it definitely holds your interest. I think the best analogy would be an hour-long version of 'The Night Gallery' from the 1970's.

[@ItsJustCartier]

This is why found forage horror movies are the best. They take a horror trope played out and turn it into something with a new feel and ambition.

[@dasboom7133]

Review ghostwatch, a classic live tv news horror movie

[@carterscoconuts6224]

Fun hidden thing in the movie is when Mini is in the mirror while they pass it behind the scenes
