10 More Horror Movie Villains Who Actually Won

10. Louis Cyphre - Angel Heart

Before he was a wrestler and before he could only speak in tones unrecognisable to the human ear, Mickey Rourke was starring in this psychological horror from 1987.

Rourke plays Harry Angel, a private investigator hired to look into the disappearance of a singer named Johnny Favourite.

Through a long, twisted, and sickening series of events, Harry discovers that he is in fact the missing man and that he entered into a bargain with Satan himself to gain his notoriety.

Angel is originally hired to track down Favourite by Louis Cyphre, played by Robert DeNiro when he actually gave a hoot about which roles he took. In the film's final stages, it is revealed that Cyphre is actually the Devil come to collect Harry's soul as promised in their deal.

Louis Cyphre. Lucifer. D'ya get it?

The film ends with Harry descending in an elevator all the way down to Hell. Cyphre got what he wanted, despite the detective's best efforts to avoid him, and got to inflict a bit of extra mental torture on the poor bloke as a bonus.

All in all, a good day to be the Devil.
