Late Night with the Devil
The only thing I thought of when it got to the ending shot:
We'll
Be
Right
Back
Utterly fantastic. It's a phenomenal documentary/found footage-style horror film about a '70s late-night talk show that goes off the rails on Halloween night. It feels like a segment you'd see in a V/H/S movie but done as a feature-length with the utmost care with the script, the performances, and the filmmaking. David Dastmalchian gave an amazing performance as a talk show host. He finally gets to take charge and be the lead in something and does a great job carrying the film. The director does a great job building up the anxiety and dread every time they cut to a commercial and I like how you don't know what to expect even when you think you know. The supporting cast did an amazing job as well particularly Ian Bliss, Rhys Auteri, and Laura Gordon. Overall, despite the elephant in the room which is so unfortunate, I loved this. It's exactly the kind of horror film that could only exist in the indie film realm and what they did with it was so impressive and right up my alley. It's easily one of my favorite films of the year.
4.5/5
