The Ending of Late Night With the Devil Flubs the Punch Line
Briefly

However entertaining the setup might be, the film ultimately fails in delivering a satisfying payoff, leaving viewers yearning for a greater emotional or psychological resolution.
The gimmick of presenting this horror as an uncensored live broadcast plays with audience expectations, creating a nostalgia for the suspenseful and unpredictable nature of 70s talk shows.
Once the demonic elements are unleashed, the film's initial cleverness evaporates, and characters fall into easy clichés rather than exploring more innovative terror.
The interspersed moments of faux commercials and the playful banter mimic a bygone era while establishing a palpable tension, making viewers wonder just how far the actors will be pushed.
