Robert Judd, (the Devil), had been diagnosed with stomach Cancer when he got the part, didn't tell anyone. Was brilliant here....died before the movie was released in 1986. He was 59 years old.............Ain't nothin' ever as good as we want it to be."....He said that line with conviction. Now we know why. He knew what was coming.
Eugene: Doesn't believe in any of this, stays denying. Scratch: Appears out of nowhere. Robert Judd is amazingly convincing in his role. The sharp suit, the way he walks/stands, his constant smile while he talks.... "Ain't nothin' ever as good as we want it to be!" cuts deep.
I was 11 when this movie came out. This is the part that I never forgot. When he says, “You lookin’ for me, Willie Brown?”, gives me the chills to this day.
Born, raised and still live in Mississippi for the past 51 years. I am here to tell you, I have seen some weird shit at crossroads. Shadows where there shouldn't be shadows. Big buck just sat there and watched as I passed by. Didn't bat an eye. My car broke down just past a crossroads. No I did not make a deal to fix it ;-)
"Underrated" doesn't even begin to describe the tragedy that is the general public knowledge of this film. The acting, the music, and direction, the visuals... they're all superb, and this film is never mentioned amongst the classics of cinema as it should be.
The greatest thing about this movie is the fact that it is so good right from the beginning, and you dont even realise until this moment late into the movie that it's about the supernatural.
