Late Night With The Devil Exorcism

From Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign), the new horror movie Late Night with the Devil was released into theaters by IFC Films this past weekend, but when is it going to be streaming at home?

One of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, Late Night with the Devil has earned rave reviews from critics, with even Stephen King tweeting praise of the 1977-set horror movie. It’s also managing to make a dent at the box office, opening to $2.8 million in 1,034 theaters over the weekend. That gives it the highest opening weekend in IFC Films’ history!

Late Night with the Devil will begin streaming at home on April 19, 2024, less than one month after arriving in theaters. Shudder will be the exclusive streaming home of the movie.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in Late Night with the Devil, set on Halloween 1977.

In the found footage-style film that captures a period aesthetic, “A live television broadcast in 1977 goes horribly wrong, unleashing evil into the nation’s living rooms.”

Late Night with the Devil has been compared to similar movies including Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special, the film presented as a real on-air broadcast from the 1970s.

On Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 123 reviews from critics are positive at this time. The website’s overall consensus reads, “Delightfully dark, Late Night with the Devil proves possession horror isn’t played out — and serves as an outstanding showcase for David Dastmalchian.”

Meagan Navarro reviewed the film for Bloody Disgusting. She writes, “The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by David Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
