To Hell with the Devil
dir. John Woo · 1982
The pursuit of superficial desires can lead to moral compromise and a struggle for redemption.
In "To Hell with the Devil," viewers are treated to a riotous blend of fantasy, horror, and comedy, where a hapless shmo's quest for pop stardom spirals into a battle for his soul. This cult classic uniquely satirizes the absurdity of fame while delivering a heartfelt redemption arc, all wrapped in an engagingly whimsical visual style that keeps the laughs rolling.
A shmo makes a deal with the devil so he can become a great Pop star just to impress his dream girl. After he makes the deal, a catholic priest hangs around him to try and convince him that he screwed up and he needs to get his soul back or he'll be damned for eternity. Well, everything goes bad for the shmo and he wants his soul back. But, the devil's lacky doesn't want to give it back. So the priest and the devil's lackey go at it mano y mano.
