   This movie is not bad and has some interesting effects. However, Cleasing Hour and Ghostwatch were better films with a similar premise but were more suspenseful and scary. If you haven't seen those two movies, see this first then those two. Both are also available on Shudder. Worth a watch. 3 weeks 3 days ago

   Halfway between found footage and mockumentary, Last Night with the Devil is an incredible showcase for David Dastmalchian (after years of seeing him in supporting parts), here playing 70s late night talk show host Jack Delroy, a man who has lost much in his bid to beat Carson in his time slot. But his soul..? After "Behind the Music"-style context, we're shown the last episode of his show, a Halloween special where there's an attempt to summon a demon (for ratings), a show that goes off the rails. The 70s-ness is extremely well done. The way the characters are styled, as well as how these shows looked and unfurled. The "behind the scenes" footage is problematic, because the characters never acknowledge THAT camera and it seems like they wouldn't be saying what they're saying if a documentary crew were present. The phantasmagoria at the end has an explanation of sorts, but not really. I think we've broken the conceit by that point. I had a lot of fun with Last Night, and I do recommend it, but its "real footage" premise just doesn't QUITE work. 1 month 1 week ago
