I was just curious how many other films users were aware of that depicted the Devil. It's always interesting seeing other people's ideas about what he might look like.
Also I remember once seeing a Spanish language film about a Priest who travels around the city going to heavy metal music shops, etc, trying to prevent the birth of the Anti-Christ. The Devil in that film is a really creepy looking walking goat. -

Robert Deniro - "Angel Heart"
Viggo Mortensen - "The Prophecy"
Rodney Dangerfield - "Little Nicky"
there were also creatures depicting the devil in
"Spawn"
"Legend"
you would think there would be more but thats all i can think of at the moment. -

yep, Peter Fonda in GhostRider.
Hell, there are tons of them, but mostly from the B-movie list. You don't really expect me to remember what they were called, do you?
Check out "The Omen" for the "Anti-Christ". I would suggest doing a "character" search for "Satan". I've found a lot of movies portray the devil as a priest or a child, with newer movies going with cgi graphics. -

theres a movie called "Prince of Darkness" by John Carpenter which shows the Devil as a big jar of liquid, and you getto see the hand of his 'father' Anti-God. Theres also 'Evilspeak', and 'Mirror, Mirror' which I thought were pretty good.

Hi there, thanks for all your posts. I actually happened upon a book called The Satanic Screen by Nickolas Schreck (sp), that is all about the Devil and Satanism on screen and includes entries for Warlock (both the films), Evil Speak, Devil's Rain, Blood on Satan's Claws, etc. It is missing quite alot of other films, but the essentials are there.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar diabolical interest. -

Some other classics of the genre:
Rosemary's Baby
the impregnation scene with the Devil portrayed by Anton LaVey, founder and priest of The First Church of Satan;
The Exorcist
several appearances of a Satanic face (in The Version You've Never Seen);
Bless the Child
a well-done CGI effect in the climactic scene;
End of Days
as another poster mentioned, the Devil inhabits the body of Gabriel Byrne for most the film but at the end appears in his actual appearance via a spectacular CGI effect. -

GEORGE BURNS in "OH GOD, You Devil!"
and I can't believe no one mentioned Dave Grohl in "Tenacious
The Pick of Destiny"
Viggo Mortensen has been one of the best, in my opinion. "The Prophecy" drips with bleakness and ominous presence, anyway, but he really steals the show w/ just a few lines. His absense made all the sequels a little disappointing.

I have never seen Lost Souls but the Devil is not a character in Stigmata or Fallen, (spoiler) both of those movies feature possesion by other entities, {a dead priest and fallen angel Azazel}. And while Lucifer/Satan/the Devil are the most dicussed topic in the Ninth Gate, you aren't really introduced to him/her explicitly.
I remember a movie about an insane asylum with Jeff Goldbloom as the Devil, it was a really great performance, but I don't remember what it was called. -

It was called Mr. Frost, and is very hard to find. I saw it when was around 9 or 10 and haven't been able to track it down again. If memory serves me right, he implies he is Satan, but I don't think he was really supposed to be. Although, I was 9 or 10 a long time ago, and haven't had the chance for a reviewing.
