9 Movies About The Devil You Need To Watch

Whether you’re a regular churchgoer or someone who thinks the closest thing to Hell is a slowly buffering YouTube video, there’s just something about the Devil that grabs our attention. Hollywood knows this, and the moviemakers are doing their best to deliver a horrifying story.

From horned beasts to corporate overlords with suspiciously perfect hair, the Devil has had more screen time than Nicolas Cage in all of his movies combined. So, light a candle, maybe keep a Bible nearby, just in case, and check out these devilishly good movies.

1. Hereditary (2018)

Who ordered family drama plus ancient demon possession? Please give “Hereditary” a chance! This A24 slow-burn horror starts with grief, builds tension like a pressure cooker, and ends with a naked cult in your attic and a decapitated head on the highway. Toni Collette delivers one of the most bonkers, brilliant performances in horror history, and let’s not forget good old King Paimon, one of Lucifer’s star employees. He doesn’t have much screen time, but boy, does he leave a mark.
