Welcome to Movie Reviews with Original Songs, aka MRwOS! I am your host, David Coile, and I’ll be reviewing a movie I’ve watched recently, then pair it with one of my backlog of original songs.
If you enjoy the program, I encourage you to like, follow, and share, or to support the program by subscribing to patreon.com/davidcoile.
In this episode, I’ll be reviewing the film “Late Night with the Devil” followed by a performance of my original song “Be Remembered”
Movie: Late Night with the Devil
“Late Night with the Devil” is about talk show host Jack Delroy, played by David Dastmalchian (who I know from the Ant-man films and Suicide Squad). In an effort to defeat Johnny Carson in the late night ratings game of the 70s, Delroy invites on a psychic medium, a girl purported to be possessed by a demon, and a skeptical debunker for a special Halloween episode.
Directed by Australian duo Colin & Cameron Cairnes, and inspired by Australian television personality Don Lane, they do a wonderful job of capturing the feel of the 1970s. This is a low budget film, but it’s a great example of how to make an amazingly cinematic piece without a ton of money. It takes place mostly on a soundstage, but mixes in period detail, documentary footage, color palette changes and Halloween costumes to great effect. Most of the film takes place in real time, but they use the commercial breaks as an opportunity to give us behind the scenes footage that boosts the drama.
I haven’t always been a fan of horror, having grown up in the slasher era of the 80s, but I’ve grown to appreciate more psychological horror, where what you don’t see on screen is just as important as what you do. This film slowly levels up the creepiness while leaving plenty of space for character development and world building.
If you enjoyed HBO’s old Larry Sanders Show, but thought it could use some more terrifying twists, this film is for you! If you want to see masterclass, low budget filmmaking, go see this movie! If you enjoy period pieces and genre pastiches, there’s a lot to love here. Highly recommended!
“Be Remembered” is one of the first songs I wrote after the pandemic started. When you’re trying to make a career as a creative artist, one of the big questions is, what and how much are you willing to sacrifice? Sometimes it can feel like selling your soul. This one takes that concept pretty literally, and so it shares some of the themes of the film.
