 I believe that this The Ninth Gate is probably one of the best films on this subject.

 The film relies more on hiding than on showing.

The Ninth Gate is praised as one of Roman Polanski’s best films on the theme of the Devil, blending thriller and horror with atmospheric European backdrops. Johnny Depp stars as a non-believer drawn into a mysterious sect and the quest for a demonic book. The film’s slow pacing and subtle storytelling engage the viewer effectively. Superb acting and music enhance this esoteric journey despite the film’s less intense approach compared to typical horror fare. Not a masterpiece but a fine, captivating work of craft. Discover the eerie mystery and dark atmospheres of The Ninth Gate—watch the film and dive into Polanski's occult masterpiece!

 Node is, in my opinion, an album I would dare to call magical: at first you hate it, then at most, you are indifferent, then you can no longer do without it.

 Marcus doesn’t miss a single damn beat, far surpassing the 'shouts' of the very first singer.

Northlane's Node defies expectations after their original singer's departure, delivering a progressive, vocal-focused album. Initially divisive, the album grows on listeners through its experimental approach, refined production, and strong vocal performances by Marcus. Node blends Djent with Nu Metal influences, standing out as a bold evolution that keeps the band's sound fresh and dynamic. Explore Northlane's Node and experience their bold new sound—listen now and see why it’s a must-hear evolution in modern metal.

 The desire to copy themselves.
