What We Think

‘Late Night with the Devil’ keeps its focus on scares over social commentary. It’s far less woke than the usual 2020s genre fare, with minimal modern ideology forced into the story. For non-woke audiences, this is a rare retreat from the current Hollywood sermonizing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film mainly focuses on supernatural horror elements with its 1970s talk-show setting, emphasizing story over identity checklists. Characters are cast to fit the genre and time period, and there is little forced representation or hyper-competence. The plot keeps its identity politics fairly muted, refreshingly rare for recent horror.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Religious and family values are present as part of the setting, and the film’s themes explore morality and evil without directly mocking or deconstructing traditional frameworks. The 1970s context is mostly retained without ham-fisted revisionism. The film leans into nostalgia more than subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are explored with some skepticism toward authority, but no agenda-driven side is clearly heroized or vilified. The characters display messy realism and the 1970s context preserves a mix of viewpoints, avoiding the standard Hollywood echo chamber. The result is surprisingly pluralistic.
