Late Night With The Devil
Late Night With The Devil might just be the savior of horror movies. The horror movie genre is over saturated, no matter what subgenre you look at. Generally speaking the best ones are older or carry with them some kind of social commentary. The problem really lies in the fact that most modern horror movies do nothing creative, and either do not attempt to make commentary on anything, or that commentary falls flat. A lot of modern movies fail in the 3rd act to drive any message they had home. However Late Night With The Devil brings back the feeling of unease and even genuine terror, while also giving audiences solid commentary on Hollywood and what people do to succeed within it.
