9 Movies About The Devil You Need To Watch (4 of 5)

6. Legend (1985)

Ah, remember young Tom Cruise frolicking through a magical forest while Tim Curry plays a horned, red-skinned Lord of Darkness with hooves and the voice of a Shakespearean villain? “Legend” is peak 80s fantasy, where the Devil isn’t technically called the Devil, but let’s be honest, with those horns, it’s either that or he was playing a sunburnt minotaur. Plus, he wants to kill unicorns and plunge the world into eternal night. So yeah, probably the Devil.

7. The Wailing (2016)

If you prefer slow-burn psychological trauma wrapped in folklore and pure dread, “The Wailing” is there for you, you freak. This South Korean masterpiece starts with a mysterious disease spreading through a village and spirals into a cursed fever dream involving shamans, demons, and a Japanese stranger who’s definitely just an “ordinary tourist.” It’s one of those movies that slaps you with a fistful of existential dread. You won’t know what happened when it’s over, but you’ll sleep with the lights on for a week.
