Keep it brief review:
An elevated horror film, that makes use of its unique story and 70's setting. While not fully re-inventing the wheel, "Late Night with the Devil" is a fun slowly unfolding onion.
Positives: + Great Performances + Fantastic production that nails the 70's atmosphere.
+ lets the audience piece together it's themes and plot in a smart way.
+ warrants repeat viewings
Negatives:
3 1/2 out of 5.
