Check out "The Devil of Christmas" episode of the British show "Inside No.9" (series 3, episode 1). The conceit is that its the raw footage of the recording of a 1970s BBC Christmas scare story (with some moments of 'audio commentary'), but they went full-on with the authenticity by using the actual cameras and lighting rigs that would've been used in the 1970s, and then employing the retired camera operators etc who knew how to run all that gear, in order to actually shoot the episode (which was also shot in the same manner that such a Christmas ghost story of the period would've been shot - in two days on a BBC soundstage with multiple cameras). Even the costumes were from the 1970s. A lot of what Jay wishes LNWTD looked like is exactly how that episode looks, and it works brilliantly.

after watching the movie, i can see where jay is coming from it stops feeling like an actual talk show fast but i think it still works. the ending really drives the whole fever dream feeling they seemed like they were going for. It would be super cool to see a version of Late Night With The Devil where they commit fully to the lost media bit more, but i think the existing film was really enjoyable and presents its themes super well. The acting, the scoring, and the pacing all worked together to drive the waking dreamer idea; to the point that a lot of the shots felt like they were from a dream.

I really enjoyed this one. I'm surprised they didn't realize it was based on what James Randy used to do. He used to be a magician, he has a fund, he went on talk shows to disprove hack fraud supernatural powers... That stuff was big back then, bending spoons and what not.

The movie reminded me of an Argentinean film: History of the Occult. I strongly recommend watching it, it delivers imo a better late night atmosphere and a sense of dread. It also features fake commercials and the programme constantly reminds you of the time (only 30mins till midnight type of stuff). I DO like Late Night with the Devil but the subtlety of History of the Occult suits my tastes better.

@@SUK2293 That was his one failure, IMO. People took his side at the time, like 'Oh Meg, what a sour diva', but if you look at it again, he was asking her very triggering questions, asking why Americas sweetheart would be in such a movie with nudity like In the Cut, and was basically trying to shame her career choices. And the camera kept zooming in on her lips which she clearly had done. It was mean spirited, from beginning to end. So awkward, but i blame him, not her.

Agreed. I don't know what RLM mean by 'of this connoisseurs genre' because I've seen waaaaay too many 'creepy zombie-ish girl OooOOOOooo!!!' """subtle""" monsters that just look cheap. The fact is that that wouldn't be scary, anyway. The electric eldritch demon at least looked unique and rad (which clicks with me because some of the best horror movies are cool but not actually that scary). I want more studios to have the balls and confidence in their monster designs to not go down the cheap, knock-off exorcist route. I loved the film from start to finish and my only gripe with it was the off-air scenes not being shot as if it was by a sneaky crew member.

I actually thought of the latter when Jay was talking about how this movie doesn’t feel like it’s from the time period it’s meant to take place in, The Devil at Christmas did such a good job of feeling like the kind of production the BBC would make in the ‘70s that it enhanced the horror so much.
