Late Night with the Devil

Do not adjust your set.

October 31, 1977. Johnny Carson rival Jack Delroy hosts a syndicated late night talk show ‘Night Owls’ that has long been a trusted companion to insomniacs around the country. A year after the tragic death of Jack’s wife, ratings have plummeted. Desperate to turn his fortunes around, Jack plans a Halloween special like no other, unaware that he is about to unleash evil into the living rooms of America. With David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, Ingrid Torelli, Laura Gordon, Rhys Auteri, Steve Mouzakis.

“It’s wonderfully creepy and unnervingly familiar, like Alan Partridge by way of The Exorcist. If that doesn’t automatically enter it into the pantheon of classic midnight movies, I don’t know what does.” (Time Out)

“A story in which there is no shortage of allusions to classics such as “The Exorcist” and “Carrie”, but which has its own identity, keeps us constantly in suspense and leads to an absolutely brilliant final scene.” (Los Angeles Times)

“A smart, original approach makes this much more than just another Exorcist wannabe. You’ll sense that there are horrors coming, but you still won’t quite feel ready.” (Empire Magazine)

“A nasty and delicious, unapologetic pastiche with a flair for menace. I had a blast.” (New York Times)
