One of the best horror movies of 2024 just got a new limited-edition 4K Blu-ray. Late Night with the Devil’s Limited Edition Steelbook released this week (August 5). It’s “temporarily out of stock,” but you can still place an order for $40–for now, at least. The original Steelbook Edition of the hit movie sold out fast when it launched last September, and it truly was a limited release. We imagine that’s the situation with the new version, too.
Despite being a small-budget indie film that released on Shudder and in select theaters, Late Night with the Devil was the highest rated horror movie on Rotten Tomatoes last year, earning a 97% Fresh rating based on hundreds of reviews from critics.
$40 | Released August 5
The artwork for the 2025 edition is pulled from the movie and features talk show host Jack Delroy on the front and Lily, the 13-year-old girl who is invited onto the show to demonstrate that she is possessed. A quote from the film is printed on the back: “Ladies and gentleman, please stay tuned for a live television first… As we attempt to commune with the Devil.” The inside of the case shows Jack, Lily, and June Ross-Mitchell, Lily’s parapsychologist and adoptive mother.
Amazon’s listing for the 2025 edition doesn’t include images of the collectibles that were bundled with the original release, but the description mentions them still. The physical extras bundled with the 2024–and possibly the 2025–edition include an autographed photo of lead character Jack Delory, an exclusive bookmark, and a Night Owl’s logo air freshener.
Special features include an audio commentary with lead actor David Dastmalchian, Q&A with directors Colin and Cameron Cairnes, and various behind-the-scenes featurettes.
Late Night with the Devil is also available on standard Blu-ray for $15.39. There are actually two Blu-ray editions listed on Amazon. The one for $15.39 released in May, and then there’s a $23 Blu-ray edition that debuted last October. The editions look exactly the same, so there doesn’t seem to be any reason to spend more on the original Blu-ray release.
Late Night with the Devil tells the story of Night Owls–a late night talk show that has seen its ratings drop significantly, following the death of the host’s wife. The host, Jack Delroy (played by David Dastmalchian), attempts to boost his ratings by running a Halloween special featuring a 13-year-old girl supposedly possessed by a demon. Things don’t quite go as planned, and the night’s episode quickly spirals out of Jack’s control.
It’s an unsettling and well-written film featuring excellent performances by lead actors Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon (June), and Ingrid Torelli (Lily). It pulled in $2.8 million during its first few days in theaters, making it the best-ever opening weekend for an IFC Films release. Notably, this figure included $666,666 on Sunday, which is thematically appropriate, hilariously improbable, and a bit disturbing.
