Found-footage horror — that thing you never want to see again, until once every couple years someone finds a fresh angle — meets “The King of Comedy,” of all things, in “Late Night With the Devil.”…
kicks up a notch their flair for bringing novel twists to familiar genre tropes, by positing occult mayhem during a live broadcast of a 1970s network talk show.
This despite Delroy’s membership in mysterious power enclave The Grove, “a men-only club located in the redwoods of California” , and his happy marriage to a glamorous stage star. Once she dies of cancer, the show’s fortunes seem to plummet, no matter what bids for attention-getting controversy it makes.
All hell starts breaking loose before the one-hour point, and at first these goings-on further underline the sense of homage to Williams Friedkin and Blatty’s horror classic. But “Late Night” — which unfolds in episodic chunks from a “recently rediscovered master tape of what went to air that night,” the commercial breaks filled by behind-the-scenes glimpses — feels fresh thanks to the satiric gloss of its retro boob-tube-fodder framework.
