"Late Night With the Devil: A Stylish Descent into Horror"
TL;DR
"Late Night with the Devil" is a 2024 movie set in 1977, depicting a fictional late night talk show host's attempt to outshine Johnny Carson during sweeps week. The film's "found footage" style and unrealistic prologue create a disconnect, and while the production showcases impressive practical effects, it struggles to maintain a sense of realism. Despite the originality of the concept and the immersive world-building, the movie falls short in selling the protagonist's rise to national prominence as a comedic talent. The film's visual elements evoke the '70s era, but the use of AI-generated art detracts from the authenticity.
