It’s going to be an especially hot night of television.
After burning up the festival circuit last year, LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL comes to theaters March 22 from IFC Films, followed by a streaming debut on Shudder April 19. Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes wrote and directed the movie, which stars David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, Ingrid Torelli, Fayssal Bazzi and Rhys Auteri. The synopsis: “October 31, 1977. Johnny Carson rival Jack Delroy [Dastmalchian] hosts a syndicated late night talk show NIGHT OWLS that has long been a trusted companion to insomniacs around the country. A year after the tragic death of Jack’s wife, ratings have plummeted. Desperate to turn his fortunes around, Jack plans a Halloween special like no other, unaware that he is about to unleash evil into the living rooms of America.” See our review of LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL here.
