8 Possession Horror Movies That Broke All The Rules

Prince of Darkness posits a peculiar question: what if Satan was actually just a big tankard of sentient green goo rather than the horny red devil we've come to know him as?

Thats right, in this forgotten John Carpenter gem the villain of the piece is The Devil himself, but not as he's usually perceived. Here, he's a formless liquid that can possess hapless victims who come into contact with his, uh, substance.

The idea is he's after a perfect vessel to house his essence, and the church (along with a few university academics) are trying to study and stop him.

Now, if that doesn't already sound like a premise thought up after a few too many not-cigarettes, let me add the final wrinkle to the tale. It turns out there's someone actually worse than Satan in this universe: the Anti-God.

Transporting this evil being to Satan's dimension is the endgame, and all the hell-on-earth carnage that would come with it.

So yeah, name a possession movie as weird as this one.
