Horror fans will finally be able to see Late Night with the Devil next month. Because the IFC Films and Shudder title has been making the festival rounds, only a select few people managed to see it. According to Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King is in that small group of viewers. Luckily for the team behind the title, he enjoyed this terrifying tale.
King received a screener and took to Twitter to let the rest of us know the film was “absolutely brilliant.” The beloved horror scribe wrote that he “couldn’t take my eyes off it.”
See King’s full thought here:
This is one of those times I have to agree with Uncle Stephen. I finally caught the movie at a festival at the end of the year and was blown away. If Late Night with the Devil is not on your 2023 horror bingo card already, allow me to tell you why it should be.
