"Oh, no! Not the Carpenters, too!" - Sam Neill - In the Mouth of Madness

I love the low-key nature of this film. I think the fact that it does avoid more 'cinematic' flourishes makes the overall effect more chilling, as if Azazel isn't just an intruder in the bodies of the characters, but an intruder in the film as well... as though a demon has possessed a by-the-numbers police procedural.

Denzel Washington had one of the best performances in this movie. Going from good cop in control to man on the run and slowly becoming paranoid and unhinged was awesome. It didn’t rely on jump scares and loud noises but the eerie feeling of being watched constantly while your world crumbles. I miss movies like this.

I love fallen, it's a clever concept, especially being narrated by Denzel at the beginning, considering the end. And the scene where the Demon sings the Rolling Stones while body hopping is cool!

I named my cat Azazel because of this movie ( he was a sweetheart NOT the devil but we found him as a ferel kitten so he was a lil spicy at first🥰 . I'm so glad you covered a truly brilliant piece of cinema, it's always been one of my faves.

I only wish we had gotten a little more of Elias Koteas as Azazel. He’s playing it in a waty that many of the other actors simply couldn’t replicate very well. It makes certain ones seem like a different entity possessing them, while a few really nail it. There’s a runner who really does a great performance that is very short, but ends up integral to framing John.

"Exploring The BEST Demonic Possession Movie You've NEVER Seen" LIES! I own it on DVD Also, something I learned in my Late Victorian Horror literature class, the "fin de siècle"; the degeneration of society as a century draws to an end. Books like Dracula and The Beetle tell stories of humanity being pit against supernatural threats, right around the turn of the 19th century(I think both were from around 1897). So all the "Man vs. The Devil" movies are like a little peek into what we were afraid of at the end of the 20th.

The ending pissed me off SO MUCH. I'm sad no one talks about this film. It was an amazing thriller. It actually made the Rolling Stones music quite unnerving, because I still think of this movie.

Fallen is one of my favorite movies of all time for a lot of reasons that you delve into. I love that the first half is a strict, believable police procedural that severely limits the supernatural underpinnings while still having enough of them there that the story's logic by the end is flawless. The little things, like Azazael always being left handed no matter what actor is playing it at the time, the fact that they set up the movie by showing Azazel is able to go into animals with the orange cat so it isn't a cheat for him to survive at the end, and just all the major actors, Denzel, Goodman, Gandalfini, Sutherland....just acting their hearts out. Also, I just love that it's a demoic possession movie that doesn't call back to The Exorcist in practically anyway. No green little girls, no inhuman yoga poses, no split pea soup. The possession aspect is done entirely through body language and acting. I can't say enough good stuff about this movie.

Wow, I've actually seen this movie before you talked about it. I do feel this is an underappreciated film and I actually like the fact that it's not glammed up like other possession movies. It kind of gets into your head and makes you feel like this could actually happen. Also, ever since I've seen that movie, I can't "Time on my Side" without getting a slight feeling of discomfort.

You can listen to "Time is on my side" on Ray Cons. Though not as chilling as a "HOYEVER."

The part where you're describing Azazel as the scapegoat for sins reminded me of the movie The Order with Heath Ledger. Would love to see you do one on that movie

I remember when I watched this movie with my mom for the first time how angry she was at the ending. I can never hear Sympathy for the Devil without thinking of this movie. Underrated gem.

I remember seeing this back during its home release and thinking "Damn, now THAT'S how you end a thriller!" Great movie, sadly forgotten.

Another great movie in a similar vibe/vein is “Frailty” but I think you’ve covered it.

Whether as part of a video on the larger "fighting the literal devil" trend or as a standalone, I'd love to see you do a video on Stigmata. The Roku-generated preview frames for this video happened to all be from the few seconds where you mentioned Stigmata, and I got so excited thinking this video was about that! It's one of my all-time faves, def worthy of your attention & analysis!

Fallen is a supremely underrated movie. I'm glad you covered it here. I will add that whomever did the casting was an absolute genius. Each of those people who were possessed look completely different, but when Azazel takes them over, their entire demeanor changes. Each actor killed it in the film. Brilliant flick. I need to show my son this one.

Also, RE: the demon zeitgeist in horror, there was also a huge angel motif in romantic/upbeat movies alongside it. Everything from “Angels in the Outfield” to “City of Angels” that came out the same year as this. Huh.

The fact that I still have the refrain 'time is on my side' kick into gear the moment I saw the title says something about how much of an impact it had.

Mommy was VERY into these kinds of spooky films during the late '90s & 2000's. I remember the scene in which the demon jumps bodies by rapidly touching people's shoulders in a crowd. Seeing that visual shook up more memories of this from my brain. Denzel Washington is a REAL good actor. So amazing that he intimidates me.

I was sick when I watched this and I thought it was a perfect sick day movie because if I thought at all about the plot, I would find it too silly to sit through. It’s weird how I could have even had that thought while watching.

It's hard to believe this was one of those "forgotten" films. What a great cast, with Washington, Goodman, Sutherland! They really made what could have been a silly TV movie into something special. I think Goodman's turn at being possessed at the end was magical--he seems perfect for it. You're right, it really is fairly unique among possession movies, especially the way it crossed over with Noir--but it seems to work. It's almost like a supernatural version of Se7en.

🎶Tiiiiiiiiime is on my side, yes it is! 🎶

Always to come back to a new vid with the iconic “Hoyever “

This was a very good movie. This and Frailty, Frequency, and Stir of Echos were also good movies along the same vein

Just when I thought this day was okay, Ryan posts a new video and makes it better.

As much as I love hearing Ryan's thoughts on movies I've seen, I get all sorts of giddy when he covers something I haven't seen before. This looks like another movie I'll happily check out because of his video.

Underrated with a great opening, just not a fan of the ending. I would recommend First Power as well and if you want a fun version, Shocker.

One of the most underappreciated thrillers in its own genre.

I haven't thought of this movie in decades. The first few min of the video stirred some foggy memories, then Time is On My Side was mentioned and the whole rest of the movie just clicked into place in my head. This really was a great movie. Solid story that has a drastic but well executed side-step into a different and wider narrative. Great performances. Denzil Washington at his height In the previous 6 years he had been in Malcom X, Philadelphia, Crimson Tide, Virtuosity (with a delightfully chaotic and young Russel Crowe), Courage Under FIre & The Pelican Brief..... one hell of a CV in those movies there. And an ending that goes for a last blow like Se7en did, but instead of cutting your balls off and delivering them to you in the middle of a desert, it just kicks you in the shin, gives you a jab in the face, then laughs at you as it wanders off to mess with someone else. addendum: Isn't the darker turn of 90s movies basically just yet another example of the so-called 'every other decade' concept? Here it is a reprise of the 70s, which took over from the optimism of the 60s. With this new shift in the 90s coming from the giant big dumb action forget-your-brain-at-the-door funfests of the 80s.

This! This was the movie! I remember a trailer were there was a guy singing “time is on my side”, touches a girl then she starts singing it. This damn thing has haunted my dreams for nearly 25 years

Fallen has one of my favorite depictions of demonic possession. Most possessed in cinema borrow heavily from Pazuzu in The Exorcist (and rightfully so, as the film is based on an allegedly true account). A floating, contorting, barfing, blaspheming, telekinetic, obviously supernaturally afflicted person (made worse as the victim is an angelic looking child). Hoyver, demons of this type bug me. They're so stupid. At best they destroy one person and their family, but seem content to make their host act like a lunatic and cause scary, but harmless haunting type phenomena. They're not very cunning, so obviously evil that most characters run to the last church they attended. In a way, they send their victims into the arms of the enemy, God and his Earthly servants, exorcists. Azazel is horrifying because it rapidly changes hosts and has a subtle, deceptive, cruel, capricious and murderous mind. Unlike Pazuzu, Azazel has more on his agenda than flop around and shout obscenities, murder.

Luv your Review Ryan. Azazel was The Same demon from Supernatural Aka The Yellow Eyed Demon. P.s That ending was Bad Ass I love How The Bad Guy Wins Makes It way Scarier Knowing evil is Out There. By the way Ending Song is Called ''Sympathy For The Devil''-By The Rolling Stones.

When this movie came out there was a soap opera that I watched called "Sunset Beach". I remember recognizing one of the people Azazel touches as an actor from that show.

Thank you so much for covering this. As a young teenager I was obsessed with this sub-genre/mood of movies. I rented this on video after it came out and loved it. And I've never met anyone else who saw it. Loved the ending, and yeah, "Time is on my sIde" now forever reminds me of this movie. So underrated. I bought the DVD when it came out and listened to the commentary track. I almost felt disappointed because the original script they discuss and the studio mandated changes made it seem like there was an even greater and almost more subtle story they wanted to tell.

"I need to be plugged into something to drown out the deafening screams of silence" This is a grade-A, pure, refined, gold-plated *mood.* As one who suffers from anxiety, I wholeheartedly empathize.

I love “Fallen.” It’s a top 10 horror movie for me, though there are probably 25 in my top 10.

This was the best kind of movie from the video rental era. A movie you rent for the cover and comes home to realize it was something completely different. Like Event Horizon.

Awesome movie and equally amazing video!! I was so drawn in at the end that I was honestly angry that Azazel had escaped using a trick no one had even thought of throughout the movie. Thanks for going through it ("Fallen"), it really was a great movie!!

This movie has always been an important one to me. It was my first real experience with a plot twist I didn't want to accept, while also loving it completely. I also loved the long dialogue between professionals that had no idea what they were dealing with, and the slow realization that everything they knew to be true was inconsequential. I loved the mystery of it, and as a high school kid just waking up to the world of literature, I was hooked. And compared to the end of days demon stories of the era, this one felt truly haunting that was deeply understated, suggesting the end of it all was hiding in plain sight, playing with us and loving the ride. I still watch it regularly. Thank you for covering this film. One of my favourites.

This was one of my favorite of all time. Good on you for breathing new life into it :)

Thanks for covering this underrated film. Since I've seen it years ago I never forgot " time is on my side, yes it is" the hopelessness that builds throughout as well as the twisted finale alone makes this a great thriller.

One of the best endings to a movie I'd ever seen. The cat strutting through the snow and the music accompanying that strut was awesome! Great movie overall!

This movie was, probably, my favorite movie rental in the Autumn of '98. I was impressed enough to rerent it, so I could show it to other's. I've long thought it to be an underappreciated, solid flick. Happy to see it get some love, and REALLY happy that it's Ryan doing it. One thing I've alway's thought about this film: it under-develops the stressful, everyday life of John's existence: being a single father and caretaker of a handicapped sibling, while having a dangerous job, just to put food on the table. When John's brother is possessed and killed, it is a horribly tragic event, that is somewhat lost in the frenetic 3rd act.

This movie is incredible!! So glad you covered it so hopefully more people will check it out!! That song still haunts my dreams man!

The title of this video doesnt do this hidden gem any justice. This movie is easily in my top 10 all time favorites and, in my opinion, the best denzel Washington movies if not my favorite of his. I pop this movie all the time and it never gets old. You must see this movie if you haven't yet. Please. And thank you for covering it, Ryan.
