    Little Nicky

    It's quite unfair to assume that all demons are cynical, crafty, and bloodthirsty. Some, especially Satan in Little Nicky, struggle with their hellish issues and politics and are strangely funny and entertaining. Harvey Keitel, the prized character actor, plays a 10,000-year-reigning Satan on the verge of retirement, contemplating who will be his next successor in Hell among his three mischievously divergent sons. Little Nickyis what happens when a comic fairytale is set in hell, starring dem...

    Constantine

    Interested in gothic horror tales? Constantine awaits you! While the critics were not very generous with the film, Peter Stormare surely grabbed attention for his vindictive, delirious attempts to crucify John Constantine (Keanu Reeves). Stormare in Constantineis a classic scornful Satan who gets resentful for granting a wish. Although the film has many layers and sub-plots that provide great impetus for the action, the recurrence of demons throughout Constantine keeps the film engaging and e...

    Oh, God! You Devil

    George Burns was an actor and comedian who rose to prominence before the era when social media or emerging movie sites were not so prevalent to extol his magnificent acting prowess, which took a big chunk of his deserving fame that was never paid its due. Most cinephiles still stutter when his name appears onscreen, which is quite unfortunate. The Academy Award Winner, also the third oldest Oscar-winning actor behind Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Plummer, was famous for playing God in the c...

    End of Days

    Gabriel Byrne's unique role in End of Daysis one of the most underrated on the list and probably the one that's most grounded. Known simply as The Man, Satan is more talkative than usual in the Peter Hyams film that most people have forgotten to this point, even though it also features Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role. The film tells the story of a former detective who's trying to protect a young woman from getting impregnated with the Antichrist's son. Byrne's performance, as it usuall...

    Legend

    Legend, starring Tom Cruise, features a horn-protruding, bloodshot-eyed, scarlet-looking Lord of Monsters who snatches the whole limelight from other characters in this film directed by Ridley Scott. Tim Curryplays the role of the devilish beast known as Darkness, who captures the beauty and decides to marry her. He’s not aware of the lurking commoner protagonist who is secretly in love with the princess, and the rest is bonkers movie history. What distinguishes Curry as the monster from the...

    Needful Things

    Based on the Stephen King book of the same name, Needful Thingsfeatures a great story whose absurdity becomes clear quickly, but we can't help but think there's a lot of realism to it. It tells the story of a quiet coastal town where everybody knows everybody. One day, a store opens. It's called Needful Things and it seems to have something for everyone who steps inside. The store is owned and run by Leland Gaunt. Only Gaunt will give you that very prized item if you do something for him, and...

    The Prophecy

    "Captain Fantastic" is a familiar man with unfamiliar roles in a myriad of films before he attained prominence. The Prophecy, starring a great Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel and Viggo Mortensenas the devil, is an underrated film that often subverts the typical perceptions of God and the devil. Mortensen's Lucifer despises God and his preachings and secretly desires to upset the balance of good and evil. His character is full of spite, venomous brewing, and absolute hate against human...

    The Witches of Eastwick

    When it comes to big actors playing Satan, the last three on the list will definitely prove the point. In the case of The Witches of Eastwick, we have Jack Nicholsongiving life to Hell's landlord, just a bit more subtle at first. In the film, Nicholson's Daryl Van Horne is womanizing and disgusting but somehow appeals to a group of women who have formed a coven. He has powers alright, but they're not effective enough when facing a group of spiteful pregnant witches. It's one of Nicholson's gr...

    Angel Heart

    One can’t talk about acting without mentioning Robert De Niro. Through the years, he has always challenged himself and has rarely failed to surprise. One of the greatest actors of his generation was a man of many faces, and the Devil was one. In Angel Heart, De Niro plays Louis Cyphre (a rather on-the-nose name that sounds like 'Lucifer'), who contacts a detective to hunt down the infamous singer, Johnny Favorite. De Niro dons the role with a well-trimmed beard, sophisticated attire, and a su...

    The Devil’s Advocate

    Not to be undone, Al Pacino donned his own devil's costume. Al Pacino's portrayal in The Devil's Advocate is some exemplary alchemy of evilness and charm. He treats the multi-faceted character with great detail and complexity as John Milton (in a reference to Paradise Lost), the head of a law firm in New York that recently hired a gifted defense attorney from Florida played by Keanu Reeves. As John Milton, Pacino succeeds triumphantly in tantalizing the audience with his capricious actions an...
