I personally love the Final Destination version of Death. The idea of Death not being a physical entity, but probability given a dark personification and intelligence makes for a very suspenseful film when the antagonist is something that you can’t see.

+INsane saniTY Haha, originally in "Bogus Journey", death was going to be a skeletal animatronic mask, but I guess due to budget restrictions, they went with the "Seventh Seal" look.

A pity the Discworld movies aren't well known. Death in that universe was my childhood. Reaping was just a job to him, and he wasn't cruel at all. He was just there to separate the soul from the body and get people to move onto the other side. He's fascinated by Humanity to the point of adopting a daughter and hiring an apprentice. And he has a horse called Binky. If the Grim Reaper was real I'd wish it was like him. The list was okay, but the murderous child entry felt like a cop-out. Felt like he was just a zealous follower of Halloween tradition with super human strength (stringing up an adult like a Predator without witnesses?) as opposed to a reaper XD

It has a skeletal and androgynous appearance showing how Death is "the great equalizer," and depspite its skeletal and decrepit appearance, it still has a strong, regal, and graceful quality in how it carries itself. Amazing work by creative team behind the movie: make up, costume, art departments, Guillermo del Toro, and Doug Jones who played the Angel of Death.

The Frighteners is one of the most underrated on the list. Happy to see it among one of the three top. I love that film. Some considered to be a weak story, a movie that doesnt "know" if it's a horror or a comedy. I rather think of it as a perfect balance between horror and dark comedy. It's both, just as much.

My favorite depiction of Death in fiction will always be Zane from On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony, mostly because of how he presents Death as a mortal tasked with the job like it’s a political office and how Zane himself is not shy from saving a life he is meant to take or take ones that are not yet ready to die, all as a form of mercy and comparison, making Death more human in the process.

For The Freightners, it's "The ghost of a serial killer posing as the Grim Reaper" not the actual Grim Reaper. The killer from Scream is also wearing a costume that resembles the Grim Reaper.

First of all, Sam shouldn't even be on this list. He's not a grim reaper. He's the spirit of Halloween itself. In some cases (i.e. the children on the school bus), he's a spirit of vengeance. Anyway, my favorite representation of Death from this list is the Angel of Death from Hellboy II: The Golden Army. I thought he was beautifully indifferent and stunning in appearance. Totally badass.

Death from The Seventh Seal and Death from Monty Python alongside Last Action Hero are some of the better ones off this list to me. Hellboy 2's Death is also awesome as well.

Christopher Walken in Click at least deserved an honorable mention.

That answer was a little open ended...

I miss the death of the discworld. Albeit it was only portrayed yet in TV-movies (like Hogwarts), and in the novel-series of the great Terry Pratchett it is clearly THE DEATH PERSONIFICATION OF ALL THE MOVIES

It's also animated, not live action. Well, the film was live action of course, but the telling of the Three Brothers was animated, so HP's Death isn't elligeable with this list since it's looking for those acted by real life.

Finally a top ten list I agree with especially no 1 from my fave film "THE SEVENTH SEAL".

I'm glad the Devil's Reaper from "Solomon Kane" got a mention if nothing else, but they could've at least SHOWED it in the video. Thing is awesome and intimidating as heck - looks like a live-action version of Malthael in Diablo 3.

Merlith Gero because making him look like a man (all except one movies in the vid) or giving him male attributes (Discworld's death) sort of became a cliche.

@merlith4650

9 жыл бұрын

MrKosobi its not a cliche, its based on a personification that is male. also, most of them are just skeletons. having a dark voice dosent make you male. "In English, Death is often given the name "the Grim Reaper" and, from the 15th century onwards, came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. In Jewish tradition, Death was referred to as the Angel of Life and Death (Malach HaMavet) or the Angel of Dark and Light stemming from the Bible and Talmudic lore. The Bible itself does refer to the "Angel of Life and Death" when he reaps Egypt's firstborns, but he is not connected to Satan. There is also a reference to "Abaddon" (The Destroyer), an Angel who is known as the "Angel of the Abyss". In Talmudic lore, he is characterized as archangel Samael."

1:00 OH, that's my favorite song!

Very late to this video but Puss in Boots: the Last Wish has one of my favorite depictions of death. His presence is very weighty in the film, and each step is menacing, as if impending doom looms over Puss in Boots.

I love how three of the top ten are basically Death from the Seventh Seal. It's obvious in Last Action Hero and in the Seventh Seal (of course). Death in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey may not be specifically identified as such, but it's pretty obvious the whole "play games for your soul" idea was taken from the Seventh Seal's chess game with Death.

Wait a minute, why is the Angel of Death for Hellboy no.10? The creepy design and voice were great!

I agree, best death by far... greatest artistry and imagination of the bunch. I think it's just less known.. Which is too bad, because this is one fine film. If you weren't satisfied with the tiny glimpses of Guillermo Del Toro's fantasy world in Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy 2 delivers what you crave !

Two of my other favorite portrayals of Death are from the Marvel Universe and from the Castlevania video games. In the MU, Mistress Death appears as both a cloaked skeleton and as a robed female humanoid, depending on whom it's conversing with. And in the CV games, Death himself takes orders from the mighty Dracula. Holy shit!

really good list !

It may just be me, but I never found the ending of "The Seventh Seal" to be depressing. The knight goes from resisting to the inevitable to accepting it and truly escapes from the world of death and misery that surrounds him in mortal life. It is probably one of the most uplifting endings in a Bergman film.

They never even mentioned jack the reaper and that guy is scary

Glaring omission of Jessica Lange as the Angel of Death in All That Jazz - should have been at least top 4.

I Boostify another good abstract one would be The Ghost of Christmas Future in almost any Christmas Carol adaptation.

We need another Top 10 movie Depictions of the grim reaper and death. #1 has to go to Lobo from Puss in Boots 2. Hands down one of my favourite Dreamworks villains.

Only Cemetery Man buffs and people who’ve seen cemetery man know the movie is also called “Dellamorte Dellamore”.Dellamorte means of death in Italian and Dellamore means of love. It’s an underrated and beautifully shot horror- satire film directed by Michele Soavi, who was Dario Argento’s assistant. It came out in 1994, but in America it wasn’t released until 1996. For those who love horror and horror satires who’ve never seen it you should give it a watch.
