I actually think the theater experience was amazing because it made me feel like I was in the audience watching it all live. If you want to feel like you're in the audience watch it in theaters. If you want to experience as someone who was watching the show at home then watch it at home.
Hang on, are you saying to be able to experience this from the perspective of somebody watching from home. I just need to watch it from home? What's the catch???
Michael Ironsides narration was the cherry on top, for the budget they had, they will reap the rewards for years to come. I can see this becoming an annual Halloween tradition.
David Dastmalchian did an interview with Last Podcast on The Left about this movie along with talking about his acting career a week or two ago. He sounded like he genuinely loved making that movie when he spoke about it
Idk, early 2000s had Jeepers Creepers, House of 1000 corpses etc. Now most horror movies have been a consistent stream of like possession and exorcism bs, this one included, this one at least looks good though. I'd say early 2000s was the best, later 2000s is full of garbage.
@@marcshields3677I took notes of some trailers that looked good last time I was at a movie theater a few days ago, and Cuckoo and Abigail looked interesting to me
Watched it last night with my husband at a regal. Dude it’s spine chilling watching it in theaters and feeling like you’re a part of the studio audience
This film felt like it was an hour longer than it actually was, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The feeling of tension and dread of what was coming was so intense
As movies, I can see that. As an experience, I disagree. He's not my favorite director and some of his decisions deserve the heat they get, but I like watching a couple of his movies, especially 31. I definitely agree that his Munsters movie is a uniquely bad dumpster fire
@@jameydunne3920I haven’t seen 31 but that’s the one rob zombie I’ve seen fans divided by . Some ppl have said they loved it others said it was garbage . My favorite Zombie movie is still Lords of Salem .
@@RubexQewb It's a love/ hate kind of movie. Strange, and fully committed to it. The first main antagonist you see in the movie is a Spanish speaking, Hitler-esque little people screaming digs and obscenities at our 4 captured protagonists, who aren't much better people than the antagonists in the story. And then it gets weirder.
Why are you holding a remote? Because that gesture is a time-honored symbol that has survived the technological revolution! It’s also why everyone (who has any class) moves their hand in a circular, cranking motion when they want someone else to roll down their car window.
They admited they used AI just to expirement with. Not to save money. And they absolutely have the budget to hire some one to make 3 illustrations that would of looked better then what we see in the movie. @@thehaydenroper
I think because it's a low budget indie film it can't afford to fight for the little guy. Makes sense to me to save money where they can. Though I understand the criticism
Same reason my parents are learning to use AI for their projects, it’s cheaper then paying an Artist for custom work when you don’t have the money to pay an artist for custom work. It’s kinda like saying “how could you go to McDonald’s when there’s the local restaurant scene” When all the local places have to charge $20+ a plate to pay rent. Only issue is some of us have to pay rent too.
I'm a huge fan of David Dastmalchian, and I always look forward to seeing his projects. I love that it's deliberately filmed to resemble a real 70's broadcast.
Man the way this movie was filmed like it’s was from the 70s was impressive from a creative decision standpoint. Takes balls and man it paid off big time.
Not really. Theres a reason these aesthetics have value- same as found footage types- it evokes feelings of older, better films. Its not ballsy. Its hack now.
The 2020s are a pretty big bump ngl. Not just for horror but every genre. I could make a video about it, but I really think the last great decade of film is the 2010s. TV too for that matter.
@holyjolias3229 lol that's true. I mean everyone always went on about how the 90s were the last great film decade and then 2010s came along. God that summer movie season of 2014 was incredible. Just banger after banger after banger.
@@TheRibottoStudios Well I think it's completely opposite especially with horror. In 2020s we have bangers after bangers, 2022 was probably one of the best years in horror movie history, with many great horror movies coming out that year. I think horror is really on the up in this decade
Good flick. Had the chills. Dastmalchian was great! But the scariest part was the character Carmichael Haig's wardrobe. People used to dress like that back in the '70s, you know. I was there. Still gives me nightmares.
Low key one of the best horror films of the past decade. Loved this film, even gave it a 5/5 on Letterboxd. Thanks for reviewing and spreading the word!
I love this movie it was such a unique experience. I felt like I was in his talkshow audience. I can see them playing this on Halloween night in theatres and people showing up, dressed up and participating with the film.
One of the best original movies I've ever seen. It was just too good at really taking us back to the 1970s. The grainy 70s look, the voice, the acting, the costumes, the set design and everything was stellar. The end was a brain fuck, It didn't go the way I expected and atleast it was a surprise to me. I couldn't tell after a certain point how it was all going to end. The movie feels so incredibly fresh and its entertaining from start to finish. Great Job!
Got to see this in the theater when it premiered with a sold out showing. The crowd got so into this it was like we were part of the studio audience. People in the theater were reacting just like the people in the movie 😂. When it was over people were clapping and cheering. Great movie.
@@TheRealBillix You say this, but the only movie I have seen in theaters (here in America) that got any kind of audience feedback at the end was Independence Day. And that movie was made WAY before MAGA.
@@nickpry968 I've been on MANY film premieres in Sweden since 1977 and the audience applause on a lot of them: Star Wars, Superman, The Empire Strikes Back, all the other Star Wars movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bond-movies, and many many more.
I still see DVDs at certain local dollar stores too, particularly Dollar General or Family Dollar. There's even a Meijer not far from me that still sell 'em.
Man I’ve been watching you for over a decade and I got to say “thank you” you’ve saved me hours of time doing something with more value so I always look forward to a good review so I can go to the movies.
I will give it points for being somewhat unique and for finally giving David Dastmalchian a lead role. But if it was trying to be scary, it simply didn’t work out for me.
This would actually be excellent on vhs. That little bit of extra graininess would be like the finishing touch. And who knows, maybe, by sheer coincidence, your vcr will start having some troubles of its own when demon-possessed girl comes along...who's to say...
I got sold to watching the movie off a 5second IG ad and decided to not look anything up. Went in completely blind (aside from the premise) and it was great
I’ve seen such mixed reviews about this movie. I’m glad you throughly enjoyed it and didn’t let the whole A.I thing warp your opinion on it! Now i’m excited to see this 🙌🏽
That's cool, I'll have to check this out. Despite the supernatural/theological stuff I'm actually more interested in the behind the scenes stuff about a failing talk show, because we've rarely seen that "take".
Part of me hopes for the day the VHS format makes a comeback... but then I blame that mostly on my love for the Alien franchise. Isolation made me fall in love with it again.
I'm so glad you've reviewed this Jeremy. I really enjoyed this film. Definitely had some very old school film making techniques. It literally did feel like I was watching a movie from the 70s. David Dastmalchian was amazing in it!
Great review! I just saw it and man is it worth a watch! No jump scare and a well-constructed story and ambiance. I very much loved that movie. A must-see!
We got to see it at the Melbourne International Film Festival and loved it! Stoked you're bringing it to the attention of your audience with a review. I recommend you check out "You'll Never Find Me," alongside this one, as another great indie horror that dropped last year.
Agree on all points; this was a great hidden gem. Only other minor complaint I'd add is that it could have used a bit more cohesion. Some of the bits seemed like random ideas thrown in.
Loved, loved, LOVED this movie. And I think that "Cronenberg" scene was necessary to help re-enforce the idea that you can't trust your eyes. The main theme of the movie is about exposing phonies who do what they do for personal gain. Not to spoil anything but this movie is really a revenge movie. And I hope more people see it because this is the first horror movie in a long time where I want to discuss with people.
🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad you addressed those comments. I saw them last night, and then I saw the thumbnail for this video this morning and just busted out laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering when you were going to review this. I watched it opening weekend and loved it. One of the most fun times I had in a movie theatre. Great performances by all.
I was anticipating your review for this movie, so glad u saw it. The feeling of being part of the audience was brilliantly done, such an original idea which is refreshing bc lately we've been getting a lot of cookie cutter movies. The actors did a great job. I think the ending could've been a bit more fleshed out, but it didn't take away, leaving us in shock and also questioning. 👏🏽 bravo
I loved the way this movie was shot. Found-footage movies can be great, especially when they do something different with the premise (e.g. CHRONICLE), and this excels in giving you the feeling that you are watching something we were never meant to see.
he’s such a dynamic actor, he played the polka dot man who is troubled and insecure of his abilities perfectly, and then perfectly played a charismatic evil talk show host perfectly, my new favorite actor 100%.
5:07 I’m pretty sure the CGI effects were meant to have an almost comically ‘70s-style look, in keeping with the rest of the set design and the period. It’s too ‘70s-schlock to not have been a deliberate choice.
Fully agree, the *only* complaint I have with this movie is the CG special effects stood out to me in a bad way, not just in the finale but any time they were employed.
A new classic that I’m gonna be revisiting VERYYYY often. Oh my god, as an analog horror fan I think this is the closest we’ll get to what people experienced that night in their living rooms…
I'd love to watch a cut of this movie without the behind-the-scenes footage so we can also experience it how an audience would've experienced it as it was airing. Also, I'm curious of what they saw during the ending.
Shout out to James Randi, Lengend and absolutely helped push me to realize all phycic phonomonon is probably BS. Doesnt stop me enjoying a BS inspired movie though :D
Perhaps this isn't my cup of tea. It feels like something out of Goosebumps but worse. Overly cheesy and mediocre in my opinion. I would've been more impressed if it were a student film or something.
Sounds interesting - I don't watch a lot of horror movies, but the descriptions of the retro-style filming, the acting, and the increasing suspense make me want to see this one.
my theory is that the weird electricity effects looked off on purpose because they may not necessarily have been "real". *spoilers* ... but that crazy ending paired with the skeptic proving that hypnosis can make you see things that aren't necessarily there i think lends credence to the idea that much of what we saw may have been an illusion created by the demon, with the whole halloween episode itself being an elaborate ritual started way back when Jack Delroy made the pact in the grove. i think the first signs of this actually start with the man in the skeleton costume sitting in the audience that refuses to speak, who then later shows up in the "ritual" part at the very end. We see all kinds of bizarre things right up until the part when we the audience and Jack "snap" out of it at the same time, thus releasing the demon into the world through our tv sets. Jack wished for nothing more than to be famous... but always be careful what you wish for. Just my tinfoil hat theory!!
So happy I saw this in the cinema last night, and without seeing any trailers! The audience was so engaged, felt like we were the audience in the movie!
If there were no jump scares, why did I jump, scared at several scenes? This movie is definitely going into our annual Halloween movie marathon rotation.
So glad David Dastmalchian is getting a lead role
One of the first movies in a while that I went to the theater for the Actor rather than character
For some reason, I always misread his last name as "Dalmatian"
He has come a long way, great actor.
Is he this generation's Sam Rockwell? Great quirky actor that you can forget how good he is until the next performance you see of him?
@@margarethmichelina5146he is doing "101 Dastmalchians" next.

One of my favourite horror movies in a while, I hope they do a prequel
I think this movie will be an even better experience at home in the middle of the night.
i love horror movies like this where they don't use cheap jumpscares but focus more on building a scary and horrific atmosphere.
Shout out to James Randi, Lengend and absolutely helped push me to realize all phycic phonomonon is probably BS.
Doesnt stop me enjoying a BS inspired movie though :D
This definitely sounds like GhostWatch by the BBC from Halloween night 1992. Really excited to check it out
Finally another movie Jeremy likes. Guys he's happy again
I was already intrigued but this review completely sold me 😱
Perhaps this isn't my cup of tea. It feels like something out of Goosebumps but worse. Overly cheesy and mediocre in my opinion. I would've been more impressed if it were a student film or something.
Yeah, I wasn't all that impressed and not scared at all. I like the idea, though.
Sounds interesting - I don't watch a lot of horror movies, but the descriptions of the retro-style filming, the acting, and the increasing suspense make me want to see this one.
---> *_Late Night With The Devil made exactly $666,666 on its third day...._*

No it didn't
Lol. Ppl so weak to marketing. Look 666,666. It's the number guys. Come watch.

It is crazy how gullible a lot of us are. Glad many don't believe it though
False, is marketing
Australia is killing it with horror movies lately...
Yeah, this movie wasn't very good at all.
MAKE PHYSICAL MEDIA GREAT AGAIN!!!
You should review “When Evil Lurks”next.
Watch The Holdovers. THAT movie feels more like it's from the 70s than this one. And the movie itself is amazing too.
I second this wholeheartedly!
I recommend The Holdovers too! It was one of my favorites last year!
The Holdovers and Late Night with the Devil are nearly in my top 10. We had a good year for movies. Dune 2, too
The Skelton in the crowd was my favourite character… had me on edge the whole time
my theory is that the weird electricity effects looked off on purpose because they may not necessarily have been "real".
*spoilers* ...
but that crazy ending paired with the skeptic proving that hypnosis can make you see things that aren't necessarily there i think lends credence to the idea that much of what we saw may have been an illusion created by the demon, with the whole halloween episode itself being an elaborate ritual started way back when Jack Delroy made the pact in the grove. i think the first signs of this actually start with the man in the skeleton costume sitting in the audience that refuses to speak, who then later shows up in the "ritual" part at the very end. We see all kinds of bizarre things right up until the part when we the audience and Jack "snap" out of it at the same time, thus releasing the demon into the world through our tv sets. Jack wished for nothing more than to be famous... but always be careful what you wish for. Just my tinfoil hat theory!!
So happy I saw this in the cinema last night, and without seeing any trailers! The audience was so engaged, felt like we were the audience in the movie!
This movie sucked
If there were no jump scares, why did I jump, scared at several scenes?
This movie is definitely going into our annual Halloween movie marathon rotation.
this movie had a very interesting approach but was VERY boring
