WordWolf Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Here's another TRIPLE. A sruggling musician sells his soul for stardom to Harry Tophet- then later ends up trying to petition a Higher Authority to re-negotiate for him. He ends up trapped in an elevator with a handful of sinners who all begin to die mysteriously- is Harry Tophet secretly among the passengers? He's probably not the young attorney who's been facing a similar deal with his new boss and has ended up in the same elevator.... (Hey, this really would have livened up the second movie, which isn't very old but isn't very well-known. It has been on television more than a little, at least on cable.)

"Devil" was a small horror movie. It's gotten more than a little TV airplay on cable,
which is how I stumbled across it. For a horror movie, I thought it was pretty
interesting. It certainly was a nice break from horror movies that rely on the
gross-out or splatter to be memorable.

You've all heard of "The Devil's Advocate." It's another movie where Keanu plays
a clueless protagonist against a good actor playing a complex villain.
