This looks right up my alley. Honestly using that "70s horror trailer voice" almost always works for me.

3 weeks to go...get into it losers .....see it in a theater before it goes to Shudder if you can ........it's more fun and actually because of the prenmise of the movie you're a stand in for the TV audience - when things bust loose after the comic parts........they really bust loose in this flick March 22

Only watched the first half of the trailer before I x-ed out and said, "I'm in"... and that's very much a compliment as I didn't want to see any sort of spoiler.
Also very happy that I didn't see an A24 mark attached.

Also very happy that I didn't see an A24 mark attached. I may actually check this out in theaters for this reason alone

1 week to go until finally there's something good in 2024 ffs - like I said see it if you can with a full rowty theater before it goes to Shudder.....this scene is a great one when it plays out but is cut off a little early here as the comedy gives way to chaos
I can't wait to see it again tbh

Ah yes, "keeping with the retro style of the film, we used a computer software to make a knockoff of a Spirit Halloween decoration.”
Fucking sucks, man, and I was really looking forward to this.

I feel like MAR should take some credit for this Late Night with the Devil has broken a box office record in its opening weekend. The new found footage horror movie was directed by Australian duo Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Set in a television studio in the 1970s, it stars David Dastmalchian as late night host Jack Delroy, whose attempt to channel the Devil on live television goes disastrously wrong.
Per Deadline, despite the Late Night with the Devil controversy involving the use of some AI imagery, the movie has performed extraordinarily well at the domestic box office. Its projected 3-day total is $2.833 million, which is by far the best opening weekend that the distributor IFC Films has ever had. The next highest-grossing openings for the company were Watcher ($862,000) and Skinamarink ($818,000).screenrant.com/late-night-with-the-devil-box-office-record-ifc/

My interest was already killed at found footage, but this is unfortunate

Okay, so...
I liked this. I want to get that out of the way right now. The comedy is mostly solid stuff (the typical late night gags hit the mark), with some real great gags thrown in here and there (including the best delivery of "oh, fuck" I can remember hearing in a movie). Dastmalchian does a great job anchoring the film emotionally, as Jack is the only person on that stage who ever lets his mask slip - every guest is mugging for the camera, which makes his moments of fear and vulnerability stand out against their intentional artificiality. I'll say more after a word from these sponsors:
Unfortunately, it's all a bit too slapdash in execution. I don't think it commits to the gimmick hard enough, as the behind the scenes footage doesn't gel with the actual taping of the show stylistically. The ending craziness is a tad too tame and takes a tad too long to get going. The behind the scenes footage in general is too on-the-nose in its exposition, too focused on filling us in instead of letting us experience the wild ride in itself.
But those are honestly small complaints for a movie that has no aspirations to high art, wanting to entertain first and foremost. I'll keep the Cairnes brothers tucked away with Mickey Reece (whose Agnes resembles this a bit, albeit pushing the comedy to a much more constant and ridiculous level) or the Adams Family. Since those are the only horror filmmakers around that I have any respect for, consider me quite excited to see more from these guys.

Pac, what the hell did I just watch The first thing worth seeing in a movie theater in the Hellscape that is 2024? I watched Alienoid 2 already, which featured blind swordsmen, sarcastic robots, shapeshifting cat people, wuxia martial artists dual wielding pistols, and time traveling wizards fighting aliens bent on turning Earth into a giant parking lot a toxic hellscape with bad color grading. Let's call this the second worthwhile theater experience

Ok, lemme see if I got this straight - that PoS Immaculate - blatantly shows a chick bashing the skull of the new Messiah in with a rock - YASSSSSSSSSSSS, Queen and no one has any problems with seeing that (I guess?) - nobody is like "I hear that movie is anti-religion, no thanks!" .................but you're going to avoid the infinitely better - like a billion times better - Late Night With The Devil - because it used AI for a couple little things and it's found footage? Good call MAR.......makes sense ....... To paraphrase Woody Allen: "The rest of the country looks upon MAR like we’re left wing, communist, atheist, homosexual pornographers. I think of us that way, sometimes. And I live here.”******************** Mike Flanagan defends Late Night With the Devil despite backlash and calls for a boycott. Released in theaters on March 22, the found-footage horror film follows a fictional late-night talk show host (played by David Dastmalchian) and a demonic event that occurs during a live broadcast of a Halloween special in 1977. Late Night With the Devil's use of AI has sparked controversy and its directors, Cameron and Colin Cairnes, have defended the inclusion of AI-generated images, which only appear briefly as title cards.
Now, Mike Flanagan is doubling down in his defense of Late Night With the Devil. The acclaimed horror director posted a positive review of the film on Letterboxd back in November 2023, but after the recent controversy over the film's use of AI, Flanagan added an update to his review on March 21 to say "the movie remains absolutely excellent, and remains highly recommended."screenrant.com/late-night-with-the-devil-mike-flanagan-backlash-response/

Why so mad, bruh live your own life........ why do you care so much?"
If I'm reviewing a nunsploitation from the 70s or a Carlin special it doesn't have anything to do with Immaculate unless I choose to link them which I do not since it doesn't show me titties but does show me her puking up a tooth ..............and it's not as intentionally funny as George Carlin ...........it's just a POV that's all - applying the "term" mad to it is outside my actual critique of it .........it's your thing.......and that's ok.......but it has nothing to do with me tbh

And Martin Stett, yes I am against generative A.I. It's a technological advancement predicated upon having an algorithm steal data from actual people and artists and regurgitating it. It's ethically dubious at best and legitimately anti-human at worst.

I think hes just saying why is nobody talking about this best of the year contender while they seem pretty interested in a bad movie that has Sydney Sweeney in various forms of scarce clothing.

Bah, two horror movies opened on the same day - it makes as much sense to bring them both up - as Barbie & Oppenheimer, no? ffs..... - regardless it's YOUR review of MY review............it's not MY review of the film......that's all I'm saying.......if people want to read why I said what I said.......... Immaculate thread........first post........
On a different note for Martin Stett and his amusement
