The search for a specific quality like isn't just about piracy; it's about the viewing experience. The filmmakers intentionally shot Late Night with the Devil to look like a 1970s television broadcast.

The film stars David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy, the host of a struggling late-night talk show called "Night Owls." In a desperate bid for ratings during a Halloween special in 1977, Delroy invites a series of occult-themed guests, including a parapsychologist and a young girl allegedly possessed by a demon. What begins as an entertaining piece of television history quickly descends into a chaotic, supernatural nightmare that blurs the lines between performance and reality.
