Is that the one where Johnny Depp goes looking for a book supposedly written by Satan?

That's an underrated movie.

Watch it again, and this time imagine that Johnny Depp is actually Satan. While it may seem strange, if you really listen to the plot, it makes sense. The book is supposed to summon the Devil, right? Well everyone that has one of the books -- that together make the authentic book -- gets a visit from Depp. And they then proceed to die. There are also other subtle hints in the movie that this is the correct interpretation. If this is the case, then Depp/Satan has just fogotten his true nature and Hell is trying to guide him back home. And The Girl is a demon trying help him open the Ninth Gate in order to go home.

Then again, that could wrong.

Sounds legit to me, I'm just too superficial to notice things like that.

Yeah, I am, too. I just read that interpretation online and when back and checked the movie out again. It does seem to make sense.
