reddit song
Reddit turned on the Stones after hearing "Brown Sugar."
That swedish guy in Constantine.
I never understood the appeal. For it was Jason Isaacs as Satan in Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 and 2.
probably the creepy thing in the passion of the christ
This.
Honorable mentions: Peter stormare in constantine, de niro in angel heart
Worst portrayl ever: the sandman
The Twilight Zone episode “The Howling Man”

>tells the woman the entire story about how he spent his life tracking the devil down, after he naively released it believing it to believe an innocent person
>she IMMEDIATELY falls for the same schitck right after and releases it
What was her problem?
Gosh I love the opening shot as he prepares to tell the story.
this was one of the few episodes that scared the shit out of me as a kid.
If I'm going to hell then it has to be Liz for me.
the best answers
Yes
will any actress top the sex appeal that this bawd had? Just remembering that movie makes me rock hard. If I was Fraser's character I would dump the other chick and endure an enternity of torture in hell just to get a glance at her wet vegana.
great choices
Bayonetta.
1926 Faust for me
Mephistopheles
came here to post this
the middle eastern appearance and his name suggest he is just an arab genie.
satan has other characteristics like making the statues cry blood, or making the sky darken and the ground shake, and that sort of stuff.
>satan has other characteristics like making the statues cry blood, or making the sky darken and the ground shake, and that sort of stuff.
That's just church fanfiction capeshit. There is no such thing in Torah, Old Testament and Apocryphas.
the witcher is pop culture mixed with some fantasy.
and satan wasnt really a concept until the church needed to civilizate the barbarians after they conquered rome.
nah it's mephistopheles
Gaunterr o dim.. GOD. It's literally play for words and some sort of demon or satan, prolly very powerful demon tho thats bound to some riddles and games and whatever else
Adding on to this, his initials spell God but his title is master mirror and what is the reflection of god? It’s pretty blatant that he’s a devil
Hearts of Stone was better than the main game.
It was but we still don't know if this fricker was a devil himself or some other entity
he was a djinn,its not so difficult to get,with all the wishes and contract stuff
After cheesing my way through the main game by abusing the dodge skill and slowly chipping away at anything I couldn't just power straight through, the fights with the toad and the sand wizard were fricking painful. Hearts of Stone is by far the most compelling video game story ever written and it made getting my taint beaten in by the toad and sandman well worth it.
The only correct answer.
He looks like me dad's mate from the pub
yeah, that's the point.
Filtered
What is filtered meaning? Afaik no one is filtering water or search results so tell me what it means. You’re filtered, I’m filtered, WE’RE FILTERED. WHAT FOES THIS MEAN
This and pic related are the only correct answers.
Correct
I guess not a single man here has read the story. Yes, his name is Satan but not THE Satan, he's Satan's nephew.
He has divine powers like any angel, and see humanity as useless creatures, but is not the devil
You're correct, but I believe that it is an accurate portrayal of how Satan views humanity.
I look like that after a going on a bender
In the comic story this movie is loosely based on, this wasn't Satan, it was just some chump demon that Constantine kept making into a fool. Stormare's performance elevated this movie from a shitty adaptation into a fantastic movie in it's own right.
It’s a great b-movie if you just ignore what Constantine is supposed to be and just take him as a different person. People love to rag on Keanu but he knows how to work in a cheesy movie while playing it straight.
I liked this movie and this performance but I don't see why everyone praises it so highly.
Satan's Attorney
Love his performance in this, pure Pacino ham-kino
>I'M A FAN A' MAN!!
“I’m a humanist.”
IN MY HOME! IN MY BEDROOM WHERE MY WIFE SLEEPS...where my children come and play with their toys. In my home.
Dunno but I like that one
This one was interesting
not sure if that was satan but good found footage movie
>Character introduction
>I graduated in history and archaelogy, know 8 languages including 2 dead ones, run 5 miles in 8 minutes, do krav maga, and solved world hunger
That movie was a big shit
seen any recent ones?
my found footage folder is currently empty and i need a cozy dark evening scare
Not that anon but I just downloaded Grave Encounters and Gonjiam, what am I in for?
The scared dude should have been a wojak.
or a janny
Grave Encounters is good. The second one is embarrassing.
Grave Encounters is accessible mind frickery goodness.
They're kind of the same movie but they are both pretty good. Watching them back to back is gonna be weird though because yeah it's literally the same movie.
Was pleasantly surprised by both.
gonjiam is a bit of a slow start but by the time it's in full gear it's fricking bonkers.
mfw the scene where one of the girls is alone with the disfigured monster and sobbing while trying to sneak past it to the door, peak found footage for me
The new taiwanese movie Incantation pr something
>FF cozy dark evening scare

That isn't Satan, it's some demon. Satan was the dude smoking in a black suit facing away from the camera.
>Satan was the dude smoking in a black suit facing away from the camera.
Can you post a photo of this or send me a link to this? I can't seem to find it anywhere
Bad take
A bunch of shit on this show went way over my head. I get that she was trying to seduce them in a way, but how was she the devil? Also why are Lenny's eyes proof of the existence of god?
What’s this from?
Youthful papa
What's this from
Supernatural
Is this from Mila Jovovich Joan of Arc?
Yes
what is this
Hellraiser 2 I think.
Leviathan is an old god, isn't it? Hellraiser doesn't work like the christian bible iirc.
I think he is an angel fallen to another reality. Clive Barker described an angel in Weaveworld as something like a myriad of impossible shapes and geometries that constantly shifted.
hello, my name is lucife- uh i mean louis cyphre. yes.
You should read the sequel book. The Devil is just a job title, and can be voted out by a cabal of Vatican cultists.
I liked the way Mel Gibson chose to do in The Passion Of The Christ.
That's what that is from? Embarrassingly I have never seen it. I thought it was torture porn
>Satan is a troony
Accurate

this is my personal favorite
I'm gay btw is that matters

Fricking travesty.
ayo what film is this
Just google "Vigo Mortensen devil" you lazy bastard
What movie is Ewan the devil in? Any pictures?
PUTA
The Devil and Daniel Webster
good one!
Does the representation of Satan in the adventures of mark Twain count?
No, that’s supposed to be Satan’s son sir something like that. He’s actually an angel (not fallen)
The devil from tenacious D
Good taste

Kek. He's talking to her like you would talk to a schizo
>like you would talk to a schizo
Joan of Arc, a person who believed that God "talked" to her.
You’re all wrong
WRONG
Carey's Lucifer sucks
Why? Name me a better Satan.
>Why?
Because it's a Costco version of the one seen in Sandman. Carey tries to write like Gaiman, but it all sounds like am ai trying to replicate the whimsical fairy tale tale tone the Gay-Man has in writing. His Lucifer is dreadfully boring and the plot is so very eh
>Name me a better Satan
The one from Sandman
Lucifer and Satan aren't the same entity.
Is that the gay from the CW show?
No
Kind of, not really
No, why would you think this
Because he popped up in the COIE crossover that the CW Arrowverse did.
Oh from the Fox show? Those two Lucifers couldn’t be more different.
It's a shame we'll probably never see a true adaptation of this series.
janny is a devil worshipper

Who's that? Charlie Chaplin?
whats this from
End of Days
thank you kind stranger
Nice try, Khorne
Whenever Joe Biden is on the news.
i know he got some corny lines and all but i liked viggo as satan
that movie and specially vigo are underrated
I like this one, more bestial and menacing, less used car salesman.
?t=96
Psychopathic rage switched on/off. Nice one.
That guy looks fricking terrifying.
I don't think I've ever seen a more inherently threatening person. The guy's got a smile like a crocodile, and his eyes are about as warm and friendly as one too
YET he's worshipped all across the globe from Lagos to Peru..
Amazing
jesus christ i shudder to think the kind of things this guy has done with the amount of resources he has at his disposal
his fricking face man
Can someone's facial expressions and looks change after doing a bunch of horrbile shit? I'm not talking about some magic religious shit.
I didn't believe in demons until I saw this video
He doesnt blink once
He blinked right as I looked back from your post. He heard you.
This might sound schizo but i looked directly in his eye and got hypnotized for a second, i could not move my gaze and got tunnel vision. Freaky shit.
How the frick is that guy a billionaire public speaker? He looks like he's about to fricking snap, that smile is creepy as shit
Every word he says is said with a snakes tongue behind sharp teeth. He literally growls his words like a beast. He does not blink once. He betrays Jesus' teachings & delivers blasphemy with a crocodile smile. Literally defends the evil israeli mo ey lenders which Jesus cast out from the temple with a whip...
This man makes me believe in Revelations...
i dont get it, he just seems like a normal old huckster. maybe youre all reddit homosexuals or get too squirmy. no reason to even talk with people like that, all they are going to do is lie. you know hes lying. he knows you know hes lying. etc etc
Is he fricking high as a kite?

Darkness isnt "the devil".
This guy by far. He even says it himself.
Easy
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Not the best but he's up there for me
He was a moronic feminine autist.
Based.
I'VE WAITED ETERNITY FOR THIS EMANCIPATION
>He was a moronic feminine autist.
He is an Archangel, as such he does not really have a gender. He fricked all kinds of people with no bias or preference.
Just say you're a gay and you want to suck his dick already man.
I wouldn't say he's feminine, just camp to an absurd degree. That's mainly why I like him, you can tell the actor knows the show is ridiculous and is just having a blast with the crappy material given to him.
Problem with him is he so rarely goes full Lucifer.
yeah that's true. but whenever he does it's kino
Because you're a homosexual more than likely.
He had a huge wiener
Holy frick that looks like shit
Well it's a 12 year old video game so
Are you gay?
no he's a gaymer
It's a 480p screenshot of a 12 year old PS3 game.
Which looks like shit.
Well duh. The actual game hasn't aged that badly.
?t=50
Not clicking that shit
ok
Is Dante's Inferno vidyakino?
Idk, never played it. But apparently it runs well on the PS3 emulator, so I'd say find out yourself.
It's a cool game. The combat is just reskinned God of War.
Yes, it's pretty cool. Too bad the only way to play it on PC is emulating it.
I watched the animated movie a while ago and while it started pretty good, they made Dante such an irredeemable butthole throughout the story that you stop caring halfway through and just hopes Satan wins and takes his soul
Oh, I never watched that. My only experience is with the game.
I played the game a long time ago.
But I think he was equally an butthole there, if I recall correctly, but they only reveal that by the end instead of halfway
Was pretty good, I still have it laying around somewhere I think.
It's Dante's Inferno if Kratos was Dante.
VEATCH, literal GOAT
This troony
No idea if it was supposed to be The Devil or just a devil, but I really liked The Wailing's depiction. Not posting an image of him because it'd be a huge spoiler, but those who've seen the movie will know what I'm talking about.
yup, wanted to post that
This movie was just great all around, loved the ambiguity about who to trust at the end, loved the complete, subtle shift in tone from weird, rural, slightly comedic, bumbling cop mystery, to outright horror. Loved the actors totally selling that shift in tone very well. Great movie.
>runtime two and a half hours
this shit better be worth it since big run time is no longer means good movie.
It needs that long of a runtime, trust me. The payoff at the end is worth it.
I realize it's not a high bar but it's probably the best horror movie of the past 10 years.
It's supposed to be THE devil. There's a handful of biblical references in the movie which make it all a bit weird since it's mixed with "spells" and all that.
>There's a handful of biblical references in the movie
Dude, shut the frick up. He's literally japanese Oni.
I think he's supposed to be The Devil. The director himself said that he considers The Wailing a Christian movie, which is a bit weird considering that the good guys lose and how many pagan things the movie has going on.
good guys typically lose all the time in christian movies
Name 5.

the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford
>The Passion of the Christ
The Son of God literally rises from the dead at the end of the movie and births the greatest civilizational force in the history of mankind. How is that a loss for the good guys? Unless you consider an Empire of pantheistic and syphilitic slave rapists to be "good".
>and births the greatest civilizational force in the history of mankind
if your rule led you to onlyfans daughters, of what use was the rule?
>if your rule led you to onlyfans daughters
that's more of a stretch than your mom's rectal cavity
You're literally a moron moron.
KYS after you go ahead and watch the movie for the first time.
I was going to post this because I saw it a month or so ago. That ending man.
Always liked this depiction, but I only watched this show when I was a teenager, so it might not hold up.
I'm still mad it got cancelled. Not a big fan of the idea that it'd turn out that he wasn't actually the guy's dad though.
But holy shit was he good
I didn't always like the show, but he single-handedly carried it. I love depictions of Hell as more of a bureaucracy and Satan is just doing his job. In the show he even says he doesn't actually hate God.
How the hell did nobody mentioned this? probably the best description in a while?
First time experiencing this scene is so fricking great
?t=81
This movie is pretty universally regarded as very good so people on Cinemaphile have to pretend it's trash sorry im sure you understand now get that trash movie off my board.
Never heard of that movie but I'll check it out, thanks for the tip anon!
Gabriel Byrne in End of Days. The movie is poorly written, but his performance makes it more than worth it.
I liked the charming Gentleman Devil played by Terrence Stamp from "The Company of Wolves"
>Movie is kino
>Best Werewolf movie
>Best Dark Fairy Tale
>BTFOs Neil Jordan's later Interview With the Vampire
>Best dicky (first time I accidentally pedocrushed on a girl then was disgusted to find out Sarah Patterson was 11 according to her IMDb)
Sauce on OP Pic?
>he doesn't know about the glorious End of Days where Arnold Schwarzenegger goes toe to toe with Satan.
Bonus scene - the devil has a threesome with 2 random chicks that he merges into the same person, it's a really fricking bizarre movie.
>threesome with 2 random chicks that he merges into the same person
Not just any two random chicks - a mother and a daughter. That scene sure awakened some fetishes in me when I was a kid.
>mother and daughter
I'll be honest I've seen the seen literally hundreds of times and I do not remember this aspect of it. Was a fantastic DVD to have as a 12 year old boy, along with Dusk til Dawn. Hell there was even a bonus feature on the DVD for how they filmed/manipulated the sex scene in full uncensored glory.
IIRC, the Devil goes to visit some cultist of his, and then bangs the guy's wife and daughter.
He isn't Satan, but death, but I think he deserves a honorable mention
Ichabod?
First appearance? Sure.
He got worse and worse every appearance after that though.
That first episode he's in he's legitimately the most terrifying character in Supernatural up to that point, but he falls off super quick once they turn him into le-quirky-food-guy.
>He got worse and worse every appearance after that though.
That's Supernatural in a nutshell.
I don't even remember which season this is, but around the time Felicia Day shows up to be the absolute best at everything the show was already ground into dust, glued together, smashed, and ground again, the ashes pressure formed again and that burned and ground again.
I liked how he was still portrayed as angelic
What film is this?
Devilman Crybaby
>tfw no devil gf.
gtfo please
No
probably that guy pretending to be virgil in the house that jack built.
Scar was the Devil in spirit. Coward, liar, murderer, betrayer. Seductive. Enemy of his own family. Usurped a good king so that he could rule and he didn't even know how to to do a better job.
Slandering truth until Simba shut him up.
The GOAT
Love how israelite media has for decades tried to poetry the devil as some misunderstood "cool" anti-hero when he was a weak homosexual with no cool superpowers trapped in hell defeated by Michael
moron, this goes back to Milton
>Milton
Post his early life
>John Milton was born in Bread Street, London, on 9 December 1608, the son of composer John Milton and his wife Sarah Jeffrey. The senior John Milton (1562–1647) moved to London around 1583 after being disinherited by his devout Catholic father Richard "the Ranger" Milton for embracing Protestantism.[6] In London, the senior John Milton married Sarah Jeffrey (1572–1637) and found lasting financial success as a scrivener.[7] He lived in and worked from a house on Bread Street, where the Mermaid Tavern was located in Cheapside. The elder Milton was noted for his skill as a musical composer, and this talent left his son with a lifelong appreciation for music and friendships with musicians such as Henry Lawes.[8]
>He lived in and worked from a house on Bread Street, where the Mermaid Tavern was located in Cheapside
I hate England so fricking much
>not knowing Milton is English
moron
>having no sense of humor
This fanfic canon goes back even further than Milton.
>It was popular apocrypha in Gnostic and israeli sects that there was some ultimate evil who was once and sometimes close (son, brother, father, angel, djinn etc...) to God and sometimes a friend.
>Some of the Dead Sea and Nag Hamandi scrolls mention it.
>At least one Nag Hamandi scroll says that GOD is the evil entity and the universe is imperfect because he stole the power to create from his mother Sofia 9wisdom) who was just a The israelites stole all this from Zoroastrianism
Those scriptures aren’t any less fanfic then any other book of the Bible. No reason to disregard the Nag Hammandi just because the Church Fathers didn’t include them.
Who wouldn't trust that face?
hes death not satan
Black person he literally calls himself death.
He wasn’t even evil, just uncompromising. Dude has a job to do. Shoulda been glad he even indulged in the chess game at all.
That is from a great Advan gart era of film making with low tech. That and Dali's raser to the eye scene
Shin Megami Tensei.
Literally so charismatic and likeable he actually convinces the audience that he isn't evil.
Which game?
SMT II was his best
Mostly SMT 2. Though also Nocturne and to a lesser extent Strange Journey.

The attic scene in Exersist
Very satanic movie, unironically. The IRL story has a completely happy ending without any of the preachers dying.
You can't find a gif or photo of that one attic scene. I think it's in the directors cut
I was hoping someone would post it.

Now we're in business.. forever.
For some reason I found the best portrayal of Satan on film to me was Donald Pleasence's performance in The Greatest Story Ever Told, with Max von Sydow as Jesus
It was intensely subtle
Who remembers this scene from End of Days?
literally the only scene i remember and was the first time i fapped to a movie scene
also birthed an absorption fetish in me
Shouldn't it have birthed an oyakodon fetish in you?
no?
Yes?
Isn't that part where Satan Byrne ducks a daughter and mother?
yeah and they both are absorbed into each other
it's the hottest shit
