The Last Horror Movie With A Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Came Out Four Years Ago

“His House” is still very much worth watching, but anyone wanting to see the latest entry in the Rotten Tomatoes 100% club should check out “Late Night With the Devil,” which is set to premiere in U.S. theaters on March 22 and on Shudder on April 19. The movie follows late-night talk show host Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian), who interviews a young girl who survived a mass suicide event at a Satanic church. When she makes contact with the devil, things go horrifically awry. 

It’s a horror film that needs to be seen to be believed, and critics can’t get enough of it. Ross McIndoe of Slant Magazine praised the movie, writing, “By taking the tricks and tropes associated with films about occult goings-on and applies them in the context of a 1970s talk show, Australian writer-directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes have conjured up a horror flick that’s devilishly fun.” Dennis Harvey of Variety largely agrees, praising the unique setting for the new possession film. “The resulting mix of vintage Me Decade showbiz cheese and ‘Exorcist’-y demonic doings is distinctive, not to mention deftly handled by the [Cairnes] as both writers and directors,” he wrote.

It’s always good for a movie to be compared favorably to “The Exorcist,” and it’s all anchored by a bravado performance by Dastmalchian. He’s no stranger to horror with a turn in “The Boogeyman,” which had plenty of skin-crawling moments. And it sounds like “Late Night With the Devil” really gives him a chance to establish himself as a true horror icon.
