Critics Consensus

Delightfully dark, Late Night with the Devil proves possession horror isn't played out -- and serves as an outstanding showcase for David Dastmalchian.

Audience Consensus

Late Night with the Devil does a great job of recapturing the late-night TV of the '70s, and horror fans will appreciate the way it doesn't rely on jump scares -- although they might not be satisfied with the ending.

It's more quirky than scary. People who are scared of most horror movies may not be scared of this one.

The cast makes Late Night With the Devil more than watchable, but they also raise our hopes for something better.

Sydney Morning Herald

The Cairnes cite Sidney Lumet’s Network as an influence and I’m not surprised. They have come up with a worthy successor.

Rated: 4/5

The Nightly (AU)

Its smart use of mostly practical effects work and its disciplined approach makes for a sometimes tense, often funny and always impressive horror film that even scaredy cats will appreciate.

Rated: 3/5
