The Devil's Advocate

1997 Taylor Hackford 144 MIN

Aspiring Florida defense lawyer Kevin Lomax accepts a job at a New York law firm. With the stakes getting higher every case, Kevin quickly learns that his boss has something far more evil planned.

HORROR CENTRALITY
65 /100

Horror and supernatural threat are essential to the film's twist and tone (devil/hell imagery, moral horror), driving key sequences and the ending. Yet the core is also a legal drama/thriller, so removing horror would alter the experience, but the story isn’t solely defined by horror.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR DEMONIC
DREADPICK SUMMARY

Best for viewers looking for a light on scares, psychological, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
