Late Night with the Devil brings two classic horror movies together
The film follows the story of a nightly talk show episode released on Halloween night of 1977 and incorporates elements and footage from other documentary film productions.
The film focuses on two sides of the story, with one side of the film focusing on the story of a young girl named Lily who survives the mass suicide of a satanic cult.
The other aspect of the film focuses on Jack Delroy, who achieved material success by sacrificing his morals.
Combining the two films, the ending took several twists and turns reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist.
Read out the official Synopsis of the film: “Just like Jack sacrifices his wife during a ritual in a satanic cult, Guy in Rosemary’s Baby trades his wife’s well-being to serve the best interests of an evil coven.”
In addition to combining horror classic films, it recreates many of the disturbing moments from The Exorcist, with the addition of a projectile vomit scene.
Jack Delroy’s overall narrative film resembles Rosemary’s Baby, which was released in 1968.
In the same way that Jack sacrifices his wife during a satanic cult ritual, Baby Trades sacrifices his wife for the welfare of an evil cult to serve its best interests.
