Top 1. 0 Devil Themed Movies. The Exorcist (1. 97. There are many people who say this is the scariest movie of all time. But I also know some people who laugh when they see this movie; it doesn. What I will say, is that The Exorcist is the best possession or Devil- themed horror film ever made. I just watched this movie again recently, and man. Poor Reagan goes from bad to worse. Some of the most memorable moments happen before Reagan. This is one of those films where you sit there thinking, . However, the real star of this film is Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright Jason Miller as Father Damien Karrass. This movie is about overcoming demons. Gregory Peck is the most straight- laced and rational a leading man you could ask for, even by today. Plus, Damien is so creepy. And let? One of the most frightening moments is when the nanny hangs herself outside Damien. The film deals with the Antichrist, who comes in the form of a child, switched at birth with Robert Thorn. This film succeeds with its pessimistic. In this movie about Satan, evil wins. The beauty of Roman Polanski. It seems that the children born of mothers who have control and pursue their desires will, of course, be the spawn of Satan. However, the film is also about the vulnerability of women, even the liberated ones: Rosemary is raped by the Devil (or was it really just her husband being overly zealous?), and, like many rape victims, Rosemary knows it really happened but cannot accept it. The film is also about vulnerability of motherhood. All the people around Rosemary want to take her baby away, and all she wants is to protect it. What makes this film so scary is that there are all these levels of subtext, which gets to you, even if you don. JETS 35/1 (March 1992) 19-30 THE KINGDOM OF GOD I N THE TEACHING OF JESUS G. BEASLEY-MURRAY* It is a curious fact that the expression 'kingdom of God' does not occur. This film gets into your subconscious and makes you paranoid. The best horror films make you experience them along with the main character, and Rosemary. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2. The two movies on this list that deal directly with the Devil and possession are both about exorcism. And even though they were made nearly 3. The Exorcist is a movie with heavy special effects; in the 7. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a movie for our time; with its dual court- and- exorcism scenes, the film isn. That is what makes this movie so effective: we are given facts and theories about what happened to Emily or what may have happened to her. To reflect our modern mindset, what we believe is left up to us. The movie shows us both sides of the story, the factual and the faith- based, and lets audiences make up their own mind. House of the Devil (2. Francis Bacon’s studio with his last painting, possibly the beginnings of a portrait of George Dyer, on the easel 1992.Tom Noonan. Oh, how I love Tom Noonan. I heard a lot about this movie but didn. He makes any horror movie ten times creepier than it would be otherwise. Plus, this movie is a throw- back to how horror movies used to be, with a simple story but high on the scares, and not skimpy with the blood. The tense atmosphere in this movie is scarier than the actual Satanic rituals that permeate through the final half- hour. This movie capitalizes on the mystery surrounding Satanists and Satanic rituals: What? The movie gives more questions than answers, including an only semi- resolved conclusion. Prince of Darkness (1. The second part of horror master John Carpenter. Little by little, small jets of liquid escape the cylinder and infect the students one by one, making them become possessed. Eventually, the cylinder opens fully and the remaining liquid is absorbed into the body of one of the students, who then becomes the bodily vessel for Satan: a gruesome, telekinetic, disfigured being who has the powers of regeneration.
He then attempts to bring the Anti- God (who is more powerful than Satan) through a dimensional portal using a mirror. The girlfriend of one of the possessed students overpowers the vessel and the mirror is shattered, trapping Satan in another realm. Is he going to stay there? We never know: Carpenter cuts the film to black right before the moment of truth. It also takes place in a movie theatre, so it. But aside from that, this movie also has so much gore I can hardly describe it. In this film a group of people go to a screening of a violent horror movie. One of the patrons gets a cut on her face from a mask. Before long she turns into a crazed, bloodthirsty demon. One by one the other cinema- going folk are transformed. On another level, this film is a horror film about the evils of horror films, which is brilliant. The Beyond (1. 98. Lucio Fulci knows how to make a great movie. Not only that, he knows how to make one badass, gore- filled zombie movie. The twist on this flick is that the zombies come through a gateway that opens into hell. There are also references to the Book of Eibon, an infamous occultist book, and a little girl who gets possessed. Not a typical zombie or Satan movie, but the combining of the two is genuinely riveting. One of the movies features on 1. Scariest Movie Moments was The Sentinel. I had never seen this movie before. It was only featured for maybe a minute and a half, but that was enough to make me want to see the film. Like The Beyond, this movie is also about a house (or hotel) being a gateway to hell. What The Sentinel does is take that concept to another level by asking, . The blind priest they. She is told that by becoming the new gatekeeper she will be forgiven for trying to commit suicide and will be allowed into heaven. At the end of the film Alison has to face all the minions of hell, and they drive her to attempt suicide again. The priest and another man, Monsignor Franchino, stop her, and Alison takes the Father. The Ninth Gate (1. This isn.
