About this Event
Followed by a conversation with actor David Dastmalchian
Johnny Carson rival Jack Delroy hosts a syndicated talk show that has long been a trusted companion to insomniacs around the country. However, ratings for the show have plummeted since the tragic death of Jack's beloved wife. Desperate to turn his fortunes around, on October 31st, 1977, Jack plans a Halloween special like no other- unaware he is about to unleash evil into the living rooms of America.
Writer-director duo Colin and Cameron Cairnes craft a suspenseful narrative that unfolds mostly in real time, as the broadcast makes surprising turns from the amusing to the bizarre to the deliciously sinister. In his first major lead role, David Dastmalchian brings compelling charisma and gravitas to the character of Jack Delroy. At its core, Late Night with the Devil is a tale about the cult of personality and the price of fame…with plenty of supernatural thrills along the way.
( 2024, USA. Written and directed by Cameron Cairnes, Colin Cairnes. With David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss. DCP courtesy IFC Films. 93 min.)
