F.W. Murnau’s 1926 film “Faust” is hailed as one of the greatest silent films ever made. Its core plot element of a deal with the devil has become a lasting cinematic trope. A new Jordan Peele-produced horror film, “Him” is the latest example and hits theaters Friday. It tells the story of a football player who must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice. The Faustian theme spans genres, from horror to comedy to neo-noir dramas. The enduring appeal lies in its exploration of desires like youth and power and can be adapted to fit any culture's priorities, making it a timeless Hollywood narrative.
