Kat and Kas’ Spooky October Horror Bonanza Night 1 Review: Late Night with the Devil

Late Night with the Devil is a highly stylized experience for the indie horror cinephile. While it’s not the scariest movie we’ve seen this year, it’s definitely a confident and well-told story that knows what it wants to be. It utilizes classic, practical effects (as well as digital effects) which fit the 70s aesthetic and setting.

The main character has an old school charm, experiencing real life highs and lows outside of his “Late Night” experience. David Dastmalchian leads, and simply put, the “side character with a gimmick” roles he’s often cast in seriously underutilize his on screen charisma. And it’s apparent he did his homework for this role, easily sliding into the role of a late night talk show host in the 70’s.

Late Night with the Devil has a lot of great ideas. Unfortunately, toward the end, some of them overlap a bit, making the last 20 minutes a little difficult to follow at times.

Still, as “Kat and Kas’ Spooky October Horror Bonanza: Night 1” goes, it was a solid opener. It’s worth a watch!
