20 Horror Movie Characters We NEVER See

The massively underrated 1998 horror-thriller Fallen stars Denzel Washington as John Hobbes, a dogged Philadelphia detective who investigates a series of killings which resemble the M.O. of a recently executed serial killer, Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas).

As it turns out, Hobbes is actually pursuing a demonic fallen angel by the name of Azazel, who harbours the ability to possess anyone he touches, allowing him to effectively hop from host to host to continue his killing spree when the heat closes in on him.

And so by his sheer nature, we never actually see Azazel as a pure demon in the film - simply the many, many hosts he inhabits throughout the story to provoke Hobbes, including, ultimately, himself in the film's bonkers climax.

Though chilling first-person shots do a fantastic job of lending Azazel an otherworldly quality, Fallen quite smartly decides not to give us a CGI rendition of his true form, the goofy potential of which speaks for itself.
