Review of Late Night with the Devil

Drawing its principal inspiration from the 1980 incident between talkshow host, Don Lane, and magician turned skeptic, James Randi, 'Late Night with the Devil' presents a compelling found footage horror noir till almost right at the end. The ending is however so over-the-top that it totally destroys the credible "is this all created for ratings, or is this really happening' theme created throughout the film and digress into absolute and somewhat a lame 'deal with the devil territory'. Generally the film is very well directed with a plethora of homages to both 70s horror and 70s talk shows. The acting is mostly solid and the atmosphere is true to time. This could have been a masterpiece, but for the overindulging final act. 6/10.
