Late Night with the Devil

Audience figures have long been in free fall: the 1977 Halloween night programme is the last chance for the late-night talk show ‘Night Owls’ and its presenter Jack Delroy to prove themselves to the public. Accordingly, he and his guests plan the most spectacular horror show of the year: a clairvoyant makes contact with dead relatives before vomiting a huge stream of slime on the open stage. A sceptic attempts to uncover the unexplained phenomena that haunt the evening. And then there is a parapsychologist accompanied by 13-year-old Lilly, the only survivor of the mass suicide of a satanic sect, who claims to be possessed by the mysterious Mr Wiggles. While panic spreads behind the scenes about the frightening events and the jeopardised ratings, the show takes its disastrous course. The last recording was never broadcast... until today.

‘The Carines brothers deliver one of the best horror films of the year with this found-footage stroke of genius that is as vituperative as it is agile, surprising and shocking.’
