Late Night with the Devil (2024)


Depicting a "live" episode of a struggling late night talk show in 1977, Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) hosts his annual Halloween broadcast, featuring a psychic, a skeptic, a parapsychologist and an allegedly possessed little girl.
Not much else to say except I loved this film. It's that type of mockumentary like Ghostwatch, which plays out in real time and feels creepily authentic in its recreation. It lulls you into a false sense of security and then it pulls the rug right out from under you.
This one will stick with you long after the credits roll.
