Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, Fayssal Bazzi, Ingrid Torelli, Rhys Auteri, Georgina Haig, and Josh Quong Tart round out the cast.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style.

Only two episodes remain until Season 2 of NCIS: Sydney ends, and this time, the Afp and NCIS team will have to face their biggest adversary yet — Australian wildlife. This episode is the first half of the show's Season finale, and unlike the previous episodes, this team is no longer in Sydney.

In the next episode, the NCIS/Afp team will fly to Darwin to investigate the death of a U.S. soldier, which occurred during a joint training exercise between U.S. and Australian troops. Unfortunately, due to the heat and weather, the military and our agents will succumb to "Mango Madness," a colloquial term Australians use to describe erratic behavior during hot and tropical weather. In addition, since the investigation is no longer in the big city, they also have to face the wildlife, like crocodiles.

Last we saw, it looked like Rankin (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) was involved in the kidnapping of J.D.’s (Todd Lasance) son. But, it turns out, he’s just another piece; his pacemaker was really so someone could listen in and it was hacked, putting him in a coma. He’s the only one who can give them any information, and they’re now stuck waiting for him to wake up (while the world thinks he’s dead). Meanwhile, Mackey reveals to Jd while both are on the outs with their agencies that she has an almost 18-year-old son who lives with her mom. In the end, Mackey and Jd do keep their jobs; the assassin (Georgina Haig) whom the latter had let go to trade for...

Once Upon a Time adapted many Disney fairy tales, from princesses to villains and everything in between, always with a fun twist on the characters fans thought they knew. After three seasons of drawing from classics, Once Upon a Time turned to Disney's most recent hit movie and brought Frozen's Elsa and Anna into the show. Elsa initially seems to be the antagonist to the Once Upon a Time's Charming family, but the show involves another character, their Aunt Ingrid (Elizabeth Mitchell), who also has ice-based powers, to be the real villain of season 4A.

By season 4, Once Upon a Time had adapted many Disney princesses, yet the show's live-action Elsa (Georgina Haig) and Anna (Elizabeth Lail) are exactly like their movie origins. However, while Frozen was a phenomenon as a film, translating it into Once Upon a Time was not as successful. Elsa and Anna's inclusion felt awkward to fans of the show,...

2024 is nearly over and while we saw the release of many brilliant films that were also hit at the box office, many movies flew under the radar of people’s view. While some movies like Dune: Part Two and Inside Out 2 were extremely popular at the box office and amongst critics, other great movies like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga were not as lucky. So, we thought of compiling a list consisting of the best movies that were released in 2024 that you might not have seen yet.

The latest horror hit taking the streaming world by storm is the highly-buzzed about supernatural sensation Late Night with the Devil, which takes place on Halloween night in 1977 and centers on a charismatic yet desperate talk show host as he plans to revitalize his waning career by creating a chilling holiday episode in which he interviews a young girl allegedly possessed by a demon. Naturally, things go from bad to worse for both the overwhelmed host and shocked viewers, who witness the horrifying events before their very eyes.

Earlier this year, the acclaimed horror movie Late Night with the Devil became a hit at the box office. After its subsequent release on Shudder, the film is now finding even more success upon being made available to stream on Hulu.

Per Screen Rant, Late Night with the Devil is currently ranked at No. 4 on Hulu's Top 15 Movies list. It's currently falling behind The Beast Within, Don't Turn Out the Lights, and Road Diary. However, it's sitting above the horror flick Smile, which now has a sequel that's playing in theaters. Finding a new audience on Hulu will become just the latest achievement for Late Night with the Devil.

If Disney ever makes a live-action Frozen, there’s one major Hollywood starlet who’s already jumping to play the role! Find out who!

It seems only a matter of time before Frozen joins the list of live-action adaptations of Disney animated hits. True, it’s only been a bit over a decade since the film came out but it’s been one of Disney’s all-time greatest successes with its now iconic songs and a huge merchandise seller to boot.

The movie did inspire a stage show at California Adventure as well as a Broadway musical with stage productions still running. It also got a shot in live-action on the ABC hit Once Upon a Time with Georgina Haig and Elisabeth Lali as Anna and Elsa appearing in the fourth season.

With a third film in the works, it appears inevitable that Disney might decide to make a live-action version.

Late Night With The Devil has broken records on Shudder, becoming the most watched release on the platform. The movie overtook the previous record-holders When Evil Lurks and V/H/S/99. The movie's success, with rave reviews and approval from Stephen King, hints at a potential sequel in the future.

Late Night With The Devil crosses a major streaming milestone for the streaming service Shudder. Written and directed by the duo of Colin and Cameron Cairnes, the independent supernatural horror movie centers on a 1977 live television broadcast where an over-eager late night talk show host, in an attempt to boost ratings, unknowingly unleashes evil into the living rooms of unsuspecting viewers. Prior to its theatrical release, Late Night With The Devil reviews were overwhelmingly positive from both critics and other notable figures, including Stephen King, which in turn translated into commercial success for the horror flick.

Now, according to Shudder, AMC Networks...

David Dastmalchian was raised in a religious household where “everything was ‘the Devil’s work’” and he was constantly told not to open myself up to anything evil that could come in. “Fast-forward to me as a grown-up and I’m telling my wife not to order a cursed Ouija board off the Internet,” the actor notes. He’s also hosted seances, been published in “Fangoria,” penned the graphic novel series “Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter” for Dark Horse Comics and served as the brand ambassador for a line of caskets.

And, of course, starred in the hottest horror movie of the year as the lead in “Late Night With the Devil.” The indie feature from brothers Cameron and Colin Cairns was released by IFC in theaters, where it’s already made a robust $10 million. And as of today, it’s available to stream on the horror network Shudder.

Late Night with the Devil surpassed $10 million globally, with $440,000 domestically from its fourth week in theaters. Compared to other 2024 horror films, Late Night with the Devil's success is impressive given its lower profile and budget. The film's positive reviews, with a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, contribute to its success alongside its box office milestone.

Late Night with the Devil has blown past an important global box office milestone. Late Night the Devil is an independent horror film whose plot focuses on a 1977 live television broadcast that goes terribly wrong, and ends up unleashing evil into the living rooms of unsuspecting Americans. The horror comedy is co-directed by Cameron and Colin Cairnes and features a leading cast including David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, Fayssal Bazzi, Ingird Torelli, Rhys Auteri, and Georgina Haig.

As per Collider, Late Night with the Devil has passed a major global box office milestone. According to the source,...

Late Night with the Devil has earned about $666K at the box office for Sunday, a number that's especially bizarre given the horror movie's plot.

An indie horror flick starring David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad), Late Night with the Devil arrived in theaters following high praise from Stephen King and a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score with its early reviews. For the weekend box office, the film landed in the No. 6 spot, but what's most peculiar is the total it pulled in on Sunday. Per Variety, Late Night with the Devil made $2.8 million for the weekend, with $666,666 of that earned on Sunday. It's a record-breaking haul for the film, which sets the new record as the best opening weekend for an IFC Films release, surpassing the $826.7K haul pulled in by Watcher in 2022.

Being an avid fan of “old school” horror, I try to keep an open mind to the newer films, even the “sub-genres”. One of those is the “found footage” chiller that probably established itself with its biggest hit The Blair Witch Project. It opened the floodgates for jittery, shakey phony home video slightly “tweaked” via software trickery. The multiplexes are so bombarded that I almost dread a new one. Oh, but an Aussie filmmaking duo has come up with a new “twist’ that keys right into another bit of nostalgia: classic TV not from the “golden age’ of the 50s, but the often “schlocky” stuff of the 70s. Plus it’s not from daytime or prime time (8 to 11 Pm Est).

Q&a’s are a staple of indie opening weekends since they tend to sell tickets but Bob and Jeanne Berney’s Picturehouse has raised that bar, offering audiences seven-minute live burlesque revues before selected screenings of documentary Carol Doda Topless At The Condor. The ode to the woman, and to 1960s San Francisco where she broke out topless, opens in limited release in New York, LA, San Francisco and San Rafael. Dancers in what Bob Berney called a “Doda-esqe burlesque” will not be topless,” he said — “but pretty close.”

Dancers start in the audience then move to the front of the theater against a specially designed backdrop of image and sound on screen. “It brings you into that world immediately. You are there before the film starts,” he said.

“Eventizing” a film is great if you can do it. The box office is much better but still a bit weird since Covid.

A live television broadcast goes horribly wrong in this formidably creepy found footage horror, written and directed by Australian brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Anchored by a terrific lead turn from perennial character actor David Dastmalchian, it’s a cult movie waiting to happen.

Taking a page from British TV’s classic Ghostwatch, but adding a period setting, Late Night With the Devil purports to be the master tapes of a disastrous live TV recording from Halloween 1977, in which a guest on the talk show Night Owls with Jack Delroy (Dastmalchian) attempted to commune with the Devil, live on air, in a bid to gain ratings during Sweeps Week.

Naturally, there’s a build-up before the main event. Early guests on Night Owls’ spooky Halloween...

NCIS: Sydney has been renewed for season 2, with the main cast expected to return and potential new characters joining. The storyline of season 2 will likely explore the mysterious connection between Ana and Colonel Rankin, which could pose a major threat to the NCIS team. Showrunner Morgan O'Neill is excited to delve deeper into the lives of the core team, revealing what makes them tick as their bonds are tested.

NCIS: Sydney gets renewed for season 2 at CBS. The Australian police procedural series, following Special Agent-in-Charge Michelle Mackey (Olivia Swann), left audiences on a major cliffhanger at the end of season 1. The season finale saw the mysterious Ana Niemus (Georgina Haig) finally in NCIS custody, only to be released by Jd (Todd Lasance), who discovers her connection to Colonel Rankin (Lewis Fitz-Gerald). While the NCIS franchise continues to expand, Sydney's future was left up in the air following the finale,...

Late Night With the Devil, the latest film from Cameron and Colin Cairnes, the team who made 100 Bloody Acres and Scare Campaign, opens with scenes of violence caught in the lens of the TV camera. As we watch, Michael Ironside tells us about America in the 1970s, and then segues into the career of radio man turned late night TV host Jack Delroy.

His show, the syndicated Night Owls, has run a close second to Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show, but never managed to catch up to it in the ratings wars. And since the death of Jack’s wife Madeline his life and his ratings, seem to be in free fall. With sweeps week kicking off on Halloween Eve and his career on the line,...

Starring MCU and DC Universe alumni David Dastmalchian and Laura Gordon (Undertow), the upcoming horror flick Late Night with the Devil has just released its first official clip from the movie. Directed and written by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night with the Devil is an upcoming found footage horror film that was initially shown during the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) on 10 March 2023, receiving very positive reviews from critics.

The film will have its theatrical premiere on March 22, 2024, while Shudder will stream it starting from April 19, 2024. The official synopsis of the movie reveals the following:

Presented in a found footage style, David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the host of a fictional 1970s variety and late-night talk show titled Night Owls with Jack Delroy. The film purports to be derived from a rediscovered master tape of an episode from the show’s sixth season, broadcast on Halloween 1977. During this live television broadcast,...

Ahead of the acclaimed horror flick’s arrival later this month, check out the full-length trailer for Late Night With The Devil.

There are plenty of reasons why we’re fully on board for the upcoming horror flick, Late Night With The Devil.

It has a retro 1970s feel that looks incredible. It also has the wonderful David Dastmalchian (who often appears in smaller but memorable roles) getting a leading role. Then there’s the festival buzz which has been very strong indeed. Oh, and there’s also the fact that horror hasn’t really found its feet yet here in 2024.

Whilst it wasn’t terrible, Night Swim didn’t have anywhere near the same impact that Blumhouse’s traditional year-opening horror has in the past, and we feel like we’re waiting for the first truly rousing chiller of the year to get the cinematic scares up and running.

Imagine flipping through the channels to land on a 1970s late-night talk show. The charismatic host flashes a winning smile, the audience is buzzing with anticipation, and there’s an electric promise of groundbreaking television in the air. This is the seductive setting of Late Night With The Devil, where what starts as an ambitious attempt to boost ratings by hosting a live séance spirals into an unforeseen horror showcase.

Starring the ever-versatile David Dastmalchian, this horror flick promises a blend of nostalgia and nightmare, setting it apart in the crowded field of supernatural cinema.

The article contains spoilers for the NCIS: Sydney season 1 finale, "Blonde Ambition."

Head of CBS Entertainment hints at positive news for NCIS: Sydney season 2 renewal. The season 1 finale sets up multiple storylines for potential continuation. The spinoff promises an exciting follow-up to the cliffhanger ending.

The head of CBS Entertainment gives a positive update on NCIS: Sydney season 2. Debuting on CBS in November 2023 with showrunner Morgan O'Neill, NCIS: Sydney focuses on rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, shedding light on the team of U.S. NCIS Agents and the Australian Federal Police. It tracks how they've ended up as part of a multi-national task force to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.

In an interview with Deadline about the network's slate of programming, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach was asked about NCIS: Sydney season 2. Although the executive does not break any news,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the NCIS: Sydney Season 1 finale, “Blonde Ambition.”] Would you go as far as Jd (Todd Lasance) did to get his son back? The Australian Federal Police (Afp) sergeant made a decision in the NCIS: Sydney finale that has to come back to haunt the team at some point. After his son was kidnapped — by a clown at his birthday party (a.k.a. nightmare fuel) — Jd chose to go along with the demands: a swap of a wanted criminal the team had been after all season. He also trusted “Ana” with a gun, which, after using to kill the kidnapper, she then turned on him. She did leave Jd alive, but she took his keys and the kidnapper’s gun and escaped. But Jd doesn’t regret any of what he did, given his son is alive — ...

With Part 1 of its freshman finale, NCIS: Sydney uncorked quite the callback, by revealing that the “pregnant” woman who nearly got Mackey, Evie, Blue and dozens of others suffocated to death in an old bunker was in fact the blonde spy who eluded capture at the end of the series’ pilot.

Yet while it might seem as if Special Agent Mackey (Olivia Swann), Sergeant Jim “Jd” Dempsey (Todd Lasance) et al now have the upper hand, the abduction of Jd’s son Jack, in Part 2 of the finale (airing Tuesday at 8/7c on CBS), will thoroughly and harrowingly complicate matters.

“It’s like a double-edged sword,” coming into a franchise like NCIS, says Sydney star Todd Lasance. “You’re coming in going, oh, you’re part of this amazing franchise. It’s been running forever, and that’s incredible. You feel you’re part of the family, but then two minutes later, you’re like, oh, I hope we don’t stuff this up. I hope that people switch on and then come along for the ride and respond to the characters,” he continues. That’s why he’s glad that the first international version has been a hit. And NCIS: Sydney shows no signs of slowing down, ending its eight-episode first season with a finale that puts Lasance’s Jd right at the center when his son is kidnapped — and in order to get him back, he’d have to swap the criminal that the team had been after...

Team members find themselves in a dire situation on CBS’s NCIS: Sydney season one episode seven. Directed by Kriv Stenders from a script by Kim Ho and James Cripps, episode seven – “Bunder Down” – airs on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 at 8pm Et/Pt.

Season one stars Olivia Swann (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) as NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey, Sean Sagar (The Covenant) as NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson, and Todd Lasance (Spartacus: War of the Damned) as her 2Ic Afp counterpart, Sergeant Jim “Jd” Dempsey. The cast also includes Tuuli Narkle (Mystery Road: Origin) as Afp liaison officer Constable Evie Cooper, Mavournee Hazel (Shantaram) as Afp forensic scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson, and William McInnes (The Newsreader) as Afp forensic pathologist Dr Roy Penrose.

Rumors of a live-action Frozen remake have sparked a debate on social media about who should play Elsa and Anna. Suggestions for Elsa include Anya Taylor-Joy, Sadie Sink, and Perrie Edwards, while Anna suggestions include Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow. Some believe that the actresses who portrayed Elsa and Anna in Once Upon a Time, Georgina Haig and Elizabeth Lall, should reprise their roles in a live-action remake. Others prefer unknown actors for the roles.

Rumors of a live-action Frozen remake incite fervent opinions on Elsa and Anna's casting. In Disney’s 2013 hit Frozen and follow-up Frozen II, sisters Elsa and Anna are voiced by Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell, respectively. Menzel and Bell contribute their vocal talents to some of Frozen’s most iconic songs, including “Let It Go,” “Love is an Open Door,” and “Into the Unknown.”

Word of a live-action Frozen remake sparks conversation online as to...

Frozen fan art imagines what Elsa might look like in live-action. The character, voiced by Idina Menzel, is the Queen of Arendelle, who was taught to keep her magical ice powers secret throughout her early life. Elsa has appeared in the sequel Frozen II, a variety of short films, and was previously portrayed by Georgina Haig in a live-action alternate universe throughout season 4 of ABC's Once Upon a Time.

Having a premiere at SXSW last year turned out to be a charm for directing duo The Daniels, and although awards lightning most likely won’t strike this year for this somewhat niche horror pastiche, hopefully its creators — Australian double-act the Cairnes brothers — will get their own media moment as a result. That Late Night With the Devil is one for the myriad genre festivals that abound internationally is a no-brainer, but the Cairneses deserve a bit more consideration than that for their film’s wry engagement with U.S. history and pop culture, despite shooting their New York-set film entirely in Melbourne.

Some new Frozen 2 fan art has surfaced this week and it gives us an idea of how Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie could look if she was cast as a live-action version of Elsa. Not that there are any real plans for a live-action adaptation of the hit animated film, mind you, but it doesn’t hurt to take a look at what could be one day should Disney decide to give it a go. Which, judging by their recent track record, they just might.

In any case, as you can see in the gallery below, The Wolf of Wall Street star is well suited for the role and this piece nicely compliments the one we got of Emilia Clarke as Elsa the other month. Indeed, it’s not like the Mouse House would be hard-pressed to find someone to play the part should they ever decide to pursue a live-action adaptation,...

Some new Frozen 2 fan art has imagined what Games of Thrones star Emilia Clarke might look like as a live-action version of Elsa, incorporating the imagery of her slinky new dress and juxtaposing the blue of her ice powers with crimson flames set by the salamander fire spirit.

The artwork was posted to the Twitter feed of Carlos Gzz, an artist who frequently produces such images, imagining various actors and singers as characters from animation and video games. And after seeing Frozen 2, he was inspired by Elsa being seen with her hair loose and flowing while riding a kelpie, which reminded him of Daenerys Targaryen astride a Dothraki steed. And so, he decided to combine the two.

Although Clarke’s natural hair color is a dark brunette and her ash-blonde locks as the Khaleesi were a wig, it’s the look that many people associate with her, to the extent...

Tori Garrett on the set of ‘Secret Bridesmaids’ Business’.

Director Tori Garrett is waiting for the local television sector’s answer to Phoebe Waller-Bridge to emerge and achieve the same mainstream breakthrough for female, protagonist-driven drama.

“She is the breaker of chains. We need to look beyond the usual suspects and start taking risks with new talent,” the director of the Seven Studios’ production, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business tells If.

Garrett returned to Australia from the UK in 2011, with the vision to direct drama. Her early influences were forged over a decade of working in London and Europe across eclectic projects at MTV, Channel 4, Filmfour and E4.

Garrett says she has detected a general fear in Australian networks to go too dark in content programming choices. “Because dark is depressing right? Wrong,” she says.

She points to the breakthrough international successes of The Handmaid’s Tale, Killing Eve, Bodyguard and...
