Anybody else think the quiet/creepy skeleton costume person in the audience was going to come into play at some point?

As someone who’s been delved in the horror rabbit hole. The scenes in this movie generally unsettled me, specifically the scene with Lily and her giant mouth. The demon on the other hand reminded me of the ghost from Scooby-Doo Cyber Chase.

100% agree it's great to see Dasmalchian getting some love, he's been an incredible supporting actor but I feel like we still have yet to see just how good he can be, looking forward to his future work.

The amount of logos at the start of this movie was one of the wildest things about the film. I thought it would never end

I loved how little bits and pieces of real paranormal were spread out from the beginning

The movie implies what we saw at the end is what the cameras saw. That ending really happened.

Found this from another youtube video and they perfectly explained the doubts I had in the movie. I think the head split was just an illusion but the Demon definitely ended everyone else, as the Skeptic was burned to a crisp but his suit was pristine, Gus was turned into a turntable and June was slumped over with damage to her neck. So I think the entire night was the Demon and the Cult finally getting what they wanted out of Jack. As the people in full costumes in the audience were Cult members (like the Skeleton and the Frankenstein's Monster). The way I seen the film was at first Minnie was trying to contact and warn Jack by making contact with Christu, then the Demon took out Christu as a way of stopping any warnings from Minnie getting through. Then June mentions how Lilly went into a fuge state a few days ago and was constantly talking about Jack in a familiar way, so I think ever since then the Demon was in constant full control of Lilly and playing pretend that it was a young girl, as it instinctively knows what camera is on them and follows it in-between each camera cut. There's also how Lilly reacts to the mass hypnotism, she's giggling and laughing the entire time asking "Why is Gus acting so silly?" ... that's because the Demon isn't falling for the hypnosis and it's genuinely confused as to what everyone else is supposed to be seeing. Lilly also knows the name of the random make up person who comes up to her during the break and she is able to know when even the backstage cameras are filming her. Theres also a ton of subliminal images of Minnie surrounding Jack, she appears in the mirror during one of the backstage segments, she faintly appears beside Jack when Christu is talking to Eddie's family, she appears in the occult items on stage, she also appears superimposed over Lilly during the hypnosis and conversation with the Demon, and then eventually behind Jack holding his shoulder. I think Minnie is trying to warn Jack about what's about to happen, as she still loves him, and realises that the deal Jack made "Amongst the Tall Trees" came at a price that will be taken in the form of everyone that he loves being taken from him, that's why his wife suddenly got an illness that she shouldn't have gotten and that's why June was also taken at the end, as the price for a deal with a Demon is always a twisted interpretation of the deal. During the hallucination at the end when Jack finally sees and talks to Minnie, Minnie says something like "Oh thank God, I didn't think they were going to let you see me!" ... I think the "They" she is referring to their is the Demon and the Cove Cult, but at some point during their conversation the Demon takes control of the hallucination again and then tells Jack to use the occult dagger. Which in turn completes not only the Abbraxis Cults ritual (as they exclusively used 13 year olds and Lilly was 13) and it fulfils Jack's contract with the Cove Cult, as he will be "No.1 in Late Night" but not as a famous presenter but as an infamous butcher! ... and by having the entire thing broadcast it also unleashes the Demon into the homes and lives of the viewers.

That skeptic character was hilarious. I've never seen a character more obviously based on James Randi in my life.

I feel like I'm the only one that's noticed when the psychic starts screaming his accent disappears. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere

This felt like a segment in a VHS film and someone decided to turn it into a feature film

I was the only one in my theater who saw the wife's ghost in the bts segments. i legitamately thought i was going crazy until the reveal at the end... where my friends promptly pretended i didnt call it.

I just saw this movie in the local theater and I loved it My favorite detail was the conversation between Gus and Hague when Hague promised that everyone's head would turn, and then poor Gus died from his head turning

one thing i thought was really cool is that there are some audience members who are likely (or definitely) occult/grove members. like the skeleton guy who shows no emotion or moves when jack asks him questions whereas everyone else around them laughs and moves normally, he is there observing jack. there are a few other audience members who are wearing masks that act in this same weird way in the background of shots. super eerie and i feel like its occult members watching jack and the program to make sure the abraxis plan comes to fruition. also these same people are seen in costume during the mind trip/flashback sequences, so it’s super cool to see

Is it implied that the reason Jack never quite takes the #1 spot is because Carson has a deal with a higher entity, or perhaps even the Devil himself? And this outranks Mr. Riggles?

Pretty good movie but the ending was a bit underwhelming

8:19 you forgot to mention that we see the ghost of the wife in that mirror for half a second. Creeped the fuck out of me.

When the narrator says that Jack returns 1 month later, a magazine cover is shown. If you look at the bottom of the picture, it says, “UBC movie of the week: Hail Abraxas” Lol

I saw a comment about this and it said that this movie is 'analog horror'. and I agree! Its polished and doesn't have the same aesthetics of the backrooms or the walton files, but its analoge horror. Which I think is super cool. Mainstream big shot movies are taking inspiration from the trends that are beloved in the online horror community.

24:45 I'm a horror vet, but this scene was truly unsettling. Never have i see a demon / human possession shown as it was here. Its so artistically different..... that its scary. Also how it says little to nothing, besides abracadabra 😂

I love how no matter how many times I watch his videos I just zone in and vibe and I love it. Voice is just so calming, and I don't have to watch a whole movie, I get distracted easily, and I can just watch this lol.

I like to think this film is an allegory for how far tv presenters are willing to go just to get to the top. I mean if you look at how in the industry how many show hosts end up spiralling into drugs and alcohol all because they have become famous but at what cost? Easy their souls! Also their home life, their family and friends all just to get a chance at fame, glory and fortune!

23:55 Oh that reminds me of the Inside Number 9 live Halloween special _"Deadline."_ The ghost edited into 'A Quiet Night In' scared the PISS out of me back then, along with the techinal announcer getting attacked and screaming. This has the same energy and I love it. _let us be._

You really hit the nail on the head at the start about expectations. I feel like my hype prevented me from liking this movie, but I know I'll have to watch it again now. I didn't remember the wife being glimpsed earlier in the film and it makes me wonder whether she was watching over him in the first instance?

I love how much of this is based on real life. The Grove is an obvious reference to Bohemian Club (which meets at Bohemian GROVE), even down to the owl symbolism!

thanks for being a staple in my life the past 7ish years. you’ve helped me fall asleep and get my morning started countless times. i appreciate you

it feels illegal to be this early to a FoundFlix video 👀

I was JUST thinking how i hadnt checked the channel for new videos yet. The timing is perfect!

Movie hits different if you think of it like a prequel to The Eric Andre Show.

I literally looked up "late night with the devil ending explained" hoping to find this, then it comes out the next day. Great timing, been a big fan of yours since 2018 or so. Your the best Foundflix.

This movie is absolutely fantastic. David is always on his "A" game in every movie he is in. It was so creepy and eerie when Lilly first appeared on stage with her stare and smile. However the thing that was the most unnerving was her unnatural arm and hand motions that immediately tell you something is off.

Nobody seems to understand that Carson also made the same deal with the same cult, that is why Jack's highest rated show was still 1 point shy.

I didn't understand why the "James Randy" guy got so much heat as over-the-top or cringe acting. The real Randy was very close to this, he was except Skeptic also an entertainer

It wasn't super scary, but it was a decent movie. I enjoyed watching it, and my ADHD didn't have me checking out on it. So as far as I am concerned, that is a good review in of itself. I enjoyed it. I think the AI controversy is a bit played out. It's one thing when a multimillion-dollar company uses AI to avoid paying an artist, and an indie group using Ai because they can't afford an artist. I dunno. I certainly believe there is an ethical way to implement the use of AI. But BESIDES that. I did enjoy the movie, it was plenty fun to watch, the actors did a really great job too!

May be just what I talked myself into hearing, but I could swear at the end, Jack's plea of "Dreamer, here awake" changed for the last repetition, maybe the last two, "Dream her awake". Works either way, I just thought I'd mention it.

I quite liked this movie. I was just along for the ride and enjoyed most of it. I didn’t find it scary but got tense with the worm scene. The existence of a cult pretty much spells out the ending from a mile away, but it was fun to watch.

My mum never smoked and died of lung cancer. Asbestos exposure can also cause lung cancer.

At 27:05 there's a guy in a skeleton costume amongst the cult members. You see him near the beginning sitting in the audience, further implicating that this was all planned by the cult.

This is like that American dad episode with the nighthawk show but the guy was a vampire

Love your film break downs. Your amazing to listen to and can be counted on to give a concise breakdown! I really hope I get show my grandkids your channel someday!!!

I just finished watching and instantly looked up to see if you made a video on it! Thank youuuuu!

This has been one of my new all time favorite horror movies/movies in general ever since my first watch im so glad you're finally covering it!! Also, i have to imagine there's some form of sunk cost fallacy at play for Jack after his wife's death. That now he *has* to make something of himself or else he killed her for nothing.

I was wondering if you were gonna do an ending explained on last night with the devil! I’m glad you did!

Dude this is awesome. I've been waiting to see videos about this movie until FF covered it. Thank you for covering horror, many of us cant do jumpscares

I have been waiting for you!!!!! Thank you!!! Came right on time😊

Thank you so much for explaining this movie! I was so confused! And I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who didn't understand it.

oh I was waitinggggg for you to cover this one

Love the little hidden details, like at 4:45 you can see the ghost of his dead wife behind him in the tv set

Finally!!! I was waiting for your video to drop! Other videos don't do the explanations justice

I feel there was also a macro plot for the Grove and Abraxas. In the interview with the Cult of Abraxas, the cult leader said that anyone who sees a ritual is "under Abraxas's spell". So the Grove sets up the wifes sacrifice, gets him famous enough that a boat load of people are watching on the tv (more than the moon landing even) and then the main dude completes the child sacrifice while the world watched

I was in shock when I saw you posted. Made me question what day it was 🫶🏻 I live for these videos.

We greatly appreciate all the hard work you do to give us these awesome videos. Keep up the excellence!!!

Love your stuff man! Just wanted to post for the algorithm. But since I am going to rent this one after finals are over for me, I'm going to wait until then to watch the full vid!

Been waiting on you to do this!!

Your videos are amazing. I’m addicted to it. I need more. What’s the best way to recommend a movie

Seeing a new video from you is such a weird feeling, usually I start with a 2 years old video and binge till one 3 months ago lol

Every since i saw David Dastmalchian on twin peaks (sure it was a small role but he was fantastic in it) ive been in awe of his ability to send chills down my spine with just a look. Brillant actor.

Bro I loved the movie and I watched most of the breakdowns but I was waiting for yours because yours is always the best.

It's my favorite KZfaq channel back at it again with a new video ❣️

Been waiting for you to drop this! I loved the movie the theme was on point I really felt like I was watching a 70’s talk show. Loved the ending too

Is it hinted that Carson has a contract with some higher power, maybe even the Devil himself, which is why Jack never quite makes it to the top spot? And Mr. Riggles is surpassed by this?

The ending really undid all the great suspension and build up the movie had. I overall like the movie as a whole but man that ending blows

I have been WAITING FOR THIS. So excited to see your video!!

I appreciate you being in my life for the past seven or so years. You've repeatedly assisted me in going to sleep and starting my morning. Thank you very much.

A great Ending Explained follow-up to this would be Ghost Watch, the old banned BBC movie which had a similar set-up.

Love how you commented that “A.I.” on the sly, without making a huge deal about it. 💀

Thank you so much, I watched this movie and I was WAITING for you to do a breakdown and review 🎉🎉❤❤

David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy owns my whole heart. I feel like a 1950s housewife with a crush on the weatherman.

Wasnt there an indi movie this channel covered that was almost exactly the same story? Like a fake exorcist doing fake exorcisms on live tv until satan kills everyone but him. Its the same movie.

Love all your videos, dude!

I saw this video post and it reminded me to watch the movie. I went into it pretty blind, but I really did enjoy it! It managed to scratch a particular itch that VHS horror seems to give me, it might be best for best cliche, but when cliches are done well, they’re amazing. It was just a genuine, oddly comforting movie to watch.

I'm never this early! Dunno why KZfaq doesn't alert me, I have notifs on. I was looking forward to this flick, n I really enjoyed it.

Love the hat tip to James Randi with Car. Even threw in Randi’s $100,000 (until it was upped to $1m) challenge. Randi would walk in to shows (including Carson) with the blank check in his pocket. Still no one has claimed the prize :). RIP Amazing Randi!

This is one of those movies that came across as having an overly sloppy ending that seemed to be a result of too many cooks in the kitchen.

Not gonna lie, the thumbnail had me thinking, ‘MAY CHAOS, TAKE THE WORLD!’

I've been waiting for you to do this.Video literally skipped at least ten different recaps

My fav movie of this year. Far outdid what I thought a shutter produced film would be.

Its not that its scary. Its that its memorable. It leaves a mark. It makes you really think about it, instead of using cheap makeup or scares. This movie disturbed me and left me with a similar vibe to Ari Aster films. The set and costume design are amazing, just enough of the 70s to be fun and not boring. The build up...oh man the build up. The suspense is crazy. The characters are so believeable. This is one of the best movies ive ever seen. Doesnt matter if it isnt traditionally scary. Youre shallow as shit if you think that breaks a movie.

I watched this a few nigjys ago and loved it. Right after I did look to see if you've covered it yet

I saw this movie at 11pm and was surprised there were a few other people there. From start to finish, no one made a sound. It's one of those movies that if you can get into it, you really GET INTO IT. The TV format was perfect and aside from some dodgy CGI at the end I loved it. So far my movie of the year. Everyone nailed their role and it was one of those horror movies that aren't jump scares and is more about the character than the horror; I'm a huge sucker for those. I was really happy with the level of restraint they used to make the ending hit a little harder with the budget they had. I just bought the disk set with the VHS tape included. So hyped!

Nice! Been waiting for this one.

It's pretty sad that while I was watching this film I spent most of it imagining how you'd describe this film, as I knew your ending explain was coming. The film was amazing, but despite their budget, I prefer to watch your ending explained. Thank you a lot for the content

i was waiting for your analysis, you are amazing mate

These are great videos; I have either watched or bought many explained here!

I love how the three deaths at the end were foreshadowed or just amusing i.e June being hoisted by her own petard. The skeptic was described as “all wax, no wick” and Gus say he likes his head where it is. Great movie and great review!

Hell yeah! Been waiting for this one!

Literally just watched this movie yesterday, great timing!

I really liked this, it was a similar style done before but this execution worked really well. Loved it!❤

Been waiting for this ending explained

25:03 I think it was because the girl did prove she's supernatural, which I thought was hilarious 😂😂😂

I’m so grateful you made a video about this

Just watched it, liked it. Love the vintage footage loved the vibe as well. Left me wanting to see more. 😃

Some nice original horror flicks this year. Looking especially forward to Longlegs

I never comment but I love your channel. My BF is so jealous lol he always says your guy posted.😂

Thanks Mr. Flix. I’ve been waiting for this

I didn't find this movie scary but it was a really fun movie. The atmosphere and style were top notch.

Very fun movie.I've watched it four times so far. The ending falls apart but it's still a good time.

I've been waiting for this video🙏🙏

So it is done. Glad you covered this one, it seemed very interesting.

I seen it in theaters and loved it. I have to agree to the short falling but also agree if you like this kind of horror that its a good movie

BEEN WAITIN
