Trailer for the 1970s-Set Horror Film LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL Sees a Demon Hijack a TV Broadcast
Shudder has revealed a wild trailer for a new demonic horror thriller titled Late Night With the Devil. The movie tells the bonkers story of a demon that hijacks a TV broadcast, and it looks like it could be a great horror flick!
The movie is set in the 1970s, and the story follows a late night talk show host named Jack Delroy, who invites a parapsychologist (Laura Gordon) onto the show during a live broadcast so that she can invite the subject of her most recent book, the sole survivor of a Satanic church's mass suicide. As you might expect, things go horribly wrong and Delroy gets more than he bargained for.
The movie was written, directed, and edited by Cameron and Colin Cairnes and it stars David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad, Oppenheimer), who plays the charismatic Late-Night talk show host Jack Delroy.
Dastmalchian said in a statement: “Playing Jack Delroy in Late Night with the Devil was a once-in-a-lifetime role that haunted me and changed the way I look at my work forever. IFC Films and Shudder are the perfect partners to bring this film to audiences. I’m so grateful to the Cairnes brothers for their craftsmanship and to all of the festival fans who have created an incredible rumble about Late Night with the Devil!”
The directors said: "In the '70s and '80s, there was something slightly dangerous about late-night TV. Talk shows in particular were a window into some strange adult world. We thought combining that charged, live-to-air atmosphere with the supernatural could make for a uniquely frightening film experience."
Stephen King saw the film and he shared on social media: “LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL: I got a screener. It's absolutely brilliant. I couldn't take my eyes off it. Your results may vary, as they say, but I urge you to watch it when you can.”
Late Night With the Devil will be released on April 19, 2024 on Shudder.
