The film has received glowing reviews, and at the time of writing has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score based on 43 reviews.
The critics consensus reads: “Delightfully dark, Late Night with the Devil proves possession horror isn’t played out — and serves as an outstanding showcase for David Dastmalchian.”
