It garnered a terrifying reputation from early screenings, with 'King of
Horror' Stephen King urging people to watch the film-- and he wasn't the only
one, with HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE and FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER creator Mike
Flanagan agreeing.

After its cinema release on Friday, the film amassed a whopping $2.8million
(£2.21million) across its opening weekend-- garnering a truly apt $666,666

It also boasts a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, sitting at 96% on the
Tomatometer with the critics' consensus hailing it: "Delightfully dark, LATE
NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL proves possession horror isn't played out-- and serves as
an outstanding showcase for David Dastmalchian."
