Insanely Bizarre Alien Doc ‘Mirage Men’ Gets Digital Release TODAY
Mirage Men (read our review), the explosive documentary that explores how the United States government created a myth about UFOs and ET visitations that eventually took over the world, today has its exclusive digital premiere. Hailed as “tantalizing” by The Hollywood Reporter and “the must-see documentary of the year” by Electric Sheep, the film will be available to stream from YEKRA.com/mirage-men and from hundreds of premiere affiliate websites across the US.
Directed by Lundberg, Mark Pilkington, Roland Denning and Kypros Kyprianou, Perception Management’s Mirage Men has already generated buzz at Austin’s Fantastic Fest in September and at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in November. The film examines how, for over 60 years teams within the US Air Force and Intelligence services exploited and manipulated beliefs about UFOs and ET visitations as part of their counterintelligence programs. In doing so the government spawned a mythology so powerful that it captivated and warped many brilliant minds, including several of their own. Now, for the first time, some of those behind these operations, along with their victims, speak out to reveal a true story that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The film will become available at 10am PST Thursday morning.

Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
How the US government created a myth that took over the world.
ET visitors… crashed UFOs… back-engineered alien technology… the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it…
These are the core elements of the modern UFO mythology, a story that has captivated farmers, princes and generals for generations, and shows no sign of loosening its grip on the popular imagination.
But what if, instead of covering up the UFO story, elements in the US military had actively encouraged it as part of their Cold War counterintelligence arsenal – manufacturing the myth of the UFO as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for all manner of clandestine technologies and operations.
Now, for the first time, some of those whose actions have directly shaped the UFO mythology, and some of their victims, tell their stories, revealing a surreal disturbing and sometimes tragic sequence of events that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Mirage Men draws viewers into a saucer-shaped hall of mirrors, a shadow-world where every lie contains elements of the truth, and the truth is far stranger than the UFO believers, or their detractors, would have you believe.
The critically acclaimed horror movie Late Night With the Devil was released into theaters nationwide last month, and after scaring up over $10 million, it’s now available at home!
How and where can you watch Late Night with the Devil at home, you ask?
The easiest – and cheapest – way to watch Late Night with the Devil at home is to stream the film on Shudder, which is currently its exclusive streaming home. That will of course require a subscription to Shudder; if you don’t already have one of those – and you should! – you can sign up today and get the first seven days for free, with plans starting at $5.99 per month.
But Shudder isn’t the only place you can watch the film, even if it’s the only streaming service it’s available on. You can also digitally purchase Late Night with the Devil on platforms such as Prime Video and Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), where it’ll cost you $14.99.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence. The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.”
Late Night with the Devil was also praised by both Stephen King and Kevin Smith, with King tweeting: “Late Night with the Devil. 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.”
