About Found Footage Freakout Double Feature: Late Night with the Devil + The Blair Witch Project
Late Night with the Devil (Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes, Australia and USA, 2024): October 31, 1977. Jack Delroy’s syndicated talk show Night Owls has long been a trusted companion to insomniacs around the country, but a year on from the tragic death of Jack’s wife, ratings have plummeted. Desperate to turn his fortunes around, Jack plans a Halloween special like no other, unaware he is about to unleash evil into the living rooms of America. [93 min; horror; English with closed captioning available]
The Blair Witch Project (Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, USA, 1999): The micro-indie film that took over the world 25 years ago is back on the big screen and just as unsettling as ever. When three film students travel deep into the Maryland woods to search for local legend the Blair Witch, they have no idea their student film is about to take a frightening and horrific turn—and that they will never be seen again. [81 min; documentary; English]
"Late Night with the Devil employs a very clever real-time, found footage format, unfolding like you’re watching an old episode of ‘70s TV... taking us back in time, locking us in a single set, and unleashing Hell, sometimes quite literally." — RogerEbert.com
"Late Night with the Devil achieves that rare feat of feeling like something we were never supposed to see. But once we’ve seen it, we can’t look away." — The AV Club
"The Blair Witch Project is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Not the goriest, the grossest, the weirdest, the eeriest, the sickest, the creepiest or the slimiest... Just flat out the scariest." — Lloyd Rose, The Washington Post
