the difference between Late Night With The Devil and your hordes of other horrors are the performances. Presented as a missing episode of a late night variety show on TV that goes tragically awry this brings horror to viewers in a new respect. The acting is atypical of a horror film but a live TV event, so how it manages to be terrifying is something short of a miracle. However, when the veil is lifted in the last 10 minutes, it loses it's stragnelhold. However, you won't have seen another horror flick like this. It's very entertaining and an all-too-rare treat that brings innovation and scares. Do not miss.
Although an original premise, and quite watchable, this film did come across as kinda dumb, verging on stupid...
The original premise also is a catch-22 in respect to the fact that it is almost impossible to suspend disbelief, and the nature of the film (when you know what happens) makes the film have practically zero rewatchable value (although maybe does if you actually like the film).
It does have the odd moment I suppose, but as a whole, it seems flawed.
This film has some good critical reviews but I could not get into it, in spite of some effort. The 1970s TV format makes it all very tacky, the characters seem to be caricatures and the scenarios quite predictable. I gave up within 30mins so it would be unfair to judge the whole film on a partial watch, but nothing make an impact on me
