The bit at the bottom looked way worse, but the crumbling city up top was still stalked by half-headed dog demons – making this one of the most apocalyptic yet varied visions of Hell in the movies. Francis Lawrence’s movie gave us an epic CG vision of the afterlife – with a nuclear wind washing over a crumbling cityscape above an underworld crowded with screaming souls being tortured by long limbed demons. Sit on a chair with your feet in a bucket of water and stare deeply into the eyes of a cat and you might just open up a portal to DC’s take on Hell. Pretty horrifying stuff, but she did kill that kitten… Constantine (2005) We find out midway through the film that the demons want Christine’s soul so they can “feast upon it while her body festers in the grave”, but we only see where she’s actually going in the shocking last scene – pulled down beneath the earth of the railway tracks into a Hell that’s basically just all groping arms and burning fire. To be fair, she does also kill a kitten in the film, so she probably deserved it. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) pisses off a gypsy by denying her a credit extension and gets condemned to eternal damnation in Sam Raimi’s ultimate horror of slight over-reactions.
