In a 5-6 page paper you must write about one of the following films and compare it 
to at least one of the texts we have read this semester. You may pick a film that is 
not on the list. But it must be approved by me. And, you are free to write about 
television shows that showcase a Devil character such as, Lucifer, or the Chilling 
Adventures of Sabrina. In the essay you must locate the Devil character and what
evil that Devil represents. And you must address how the filmmaker modernizes the
