He can be saying the most horrific things like, “If you don’t do it, I’ll kill you,” with a smile on his face like he’s so nice and sweet, but his eyes look so menacing. Ray Wise is the Devil, and the best Devil they could have possibly chosen. He’s a fresh, positive character that goes along with everything without question. Why? He’s testing his powers!

Back then his dad’s health was fading, and the Devil, being the cunning trickster that he is, gave the dad his health back in exchange for their firstborn child.
