Gaby Shedwick is a horror features writer for Collider, joining in December 2023.

The Big Picture The new horror release, Late Night with the Devil, is set in a '70s talk show TV studio, framed as a lost recording from a late-night show with devastating consequences. Diverting from the usual found-footage format, the movie doesn't utilize shaky camera footage or limited visibility, instead creating a refined atmosphere and feeling of professionalism. However, this inversion of the found-footage expectations doesn't take away from the essence of the subgenre.
Release Date March 22, 2024 Director Cameron Cairnes , Colin Cairnes Cast David Dastmalchian , Laura Gordon , Ian Bliss , Fayssal Bazzi , Ingrid Torelli , Rhys Auteri , Josh Quong Tart , Georgina Haig Runtime 86 Minutes Writers Colin Cairnes , Cameron Cairnes The Found-Footage Subgenre Has a Bad Reputation Found-footage movies can be made on an extremely low budget as they don't require highly stylized shots, and can succeed with just a single handheld camera.
'Late Night with the Devil' Is Found-Footage - But Not How You'd Expect Close Late Night with the Devil removes the bad quality cameras and limited visibility of found-footage and replaces it with big studio cameras. It is framed as a lost tape recording from 1977 of the talk show "Night Owls.
'Late Night with the Devil' Still Retains The Fear Factor of Found-Footage In saying all that, the directness of the way Late Night with the Devil is shot does not take away from the film's plausibility. Found-footage succeeds or fails in its believability, the audience has to see the recording as a real event. Late Night with the Devil achieves this in its creation of a familiar TV broadcast. It takes care in its set-up and doesn't rush into the horror.
