10 Best Movie Plot Twists Of 2024
7. Jack Sacrificed His Wife For Fame - Late Night with the Devil
Late Night with the Devil revolves around Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian), the host of a flailing late night talk show who attempts to boost the show's ratings by inviting an apparently possessed girl, Lilly (Ingrid Torelli), to appear.
Early scenes also establish that Jack is still grieving the recent loss of his wife Madeleine (Georgina Haig) to cancer, but in the film's final moments, we learn that Jack previously made a pact with the Devil, sacrificing the soul of his wife for fame and the success of his TV show, effectively causing her cancer.
And because that's not shockingly bleak enough, the final moments reveal that Jack has inadvertently stabbed Lilly to death on live TV, as the police closes in on the studio.
Just when you thought Hollywood finally let David Dastmalchian play a character who wasn't a total creep, the brutal final rug-pull made it clear that wasn't the case.
