Stand-up comedians and monsters in horror-comedy “Too Late”

I bet many of us have considered our boss to be a monster. And the fact that your boss is a comedy star only means it’s all laughs and fun on the outside because he could be a real tyrant on the inside. That and more is what happens in horror-comedy Too Late (2021).

Set in the Los Angeles indie comedy scene, the movie centers on Violet, who works a thankless job as the assistant to Bob Devore, famed comedian and host of the live variety show Too Late. But what only Violet knows is that Bob is a monster both literally and figuratively. Resigned to her fate, Violet is caught by surprise when she meets aspiring comedian Jimmy Rhodes and sparks fly. But as her feelings for Jimmy grow and Bob starts to doubt her loyalty, she and Jimmy could end up as Bob’s next meal.

The movie has been directed by D.W. Thomas, who has also been the producer and editor of the film. Tom Becker has been in charge of the screenplay. The main cast is formed by Mary Lynn Rajskub, Fred Armisen, Jack De Sena, Ron Lynch, Brooks Wheelan, Jenny Zigrino, Alyssa Limperis, Barbara Gray, Dinora Walcott, and Billy Breed.

Too Late (2021) was part of the Seattle International Film Festival last April. Gravitas Ventures has the distribution rights for the movie and has scheduled it for a theatrical and digital release on June 25, 2021. Here you can watch its trailer.
