Assured in their craft, the Cairnes brothers deliver fulsome ratings satire and sharp scares.

The cast makes Late Night With the Devil more than watchable, but they also raise our hopes for something better.

The Cairnes cite Sidney Lumet’s Network as an influence and I’m not surprised. They have come up with a worthy successor.

I loved how this film didn’t shun fear by taming it with parodic comedy and I loved how the filmmakers were so enamoured of the visual and sonic abilities of cinema to tell stories that scare us.
