“Late Night with the Devil” feels like the spiritual sequel to “NOPE”. In both movies, the issue seems to be spectacle.

“NOPE” was about people’s obsession with watching spectacle and the lengths they’ll go to capture it. Anytime you look up to watch the spectacle - the monster - you die. And other characters died from their pursuit of the monster.

“Late Night with the Devil” was about how the desire for spectacle makes us ignore common sense and safety. Jack Delroy could’ve stopped the show, but because he saw the potential for ratings, he kept the show going. And it didn’t help that the audience kept wanting more and more, despite how dangerous the show was getting.

If we get one more horror movie about this subject, maybe we can call it the Spectacle Trilogy. Or the Curiosity Killed The Cat trilogy.

Ivor Cutler (1923 - 2006) Poet, Humourist and Singer

Artist: Michael Knowles (British, born 1958)

Date: 1988

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

Ivor Cutler was a poet, comedian, humourist, musician, songwriter, storyteller, author and artist. His dryly funny, melancholic and absurdist live performances, recordings and books have been described as ‘Surrealist folk’. Cutler followed in the footsteps of the music hall tradition whilst anticipating Monty Python. One obituary describes him as : ‘The ultimate outsider’s outsider …peering sombrely from the stage behind owlish glasses, singing songs about bugs, herrings and his father pointing at thistles, his faithful harmonium wheezing along beside him.’
