evil goes live
8 April 2024
The found footage genre gets a new spin with the Cairnes brothers' "Late Night with the Devil". It depicts the recording of a 1970s talk show where supposed communications with the beyond start getting too real. At the same time, it addresses the exploitative nature of spectacle. All while managing to balance comedy and horror, I might add.

Probably the only recognizable cast member to us Yanks is star David Dastmalchian (most recently of "Oppenheimer"), with the rest of the cast consisting of Aussies. Whatever the case, the movie looks exactly like a recording of a disco-era talk show, complete with the intertitles. That makes it all the more fun when the intense stuff begins. These are truly the sort of movies that make life worth living.
