In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Prince of Darkness (1987)
A horror directed by John Carpenter.
A group of scientists gather in a church to observe a container of green liquid that is doing strange things. The green substance drips onto the ceiling and sprays into the mouth of a scientist who then contaminates others by spitting in their faces. One of the female scientists appears to get pregnant and decompose before trying to pull a demon through a mirror.
This film had a great setting and that "creepy supernatural thriller" type of way about it. It also features cameos of Mr. Miyagi (of Karate Kid fame) and Alice Cooper (of shock rock glory) Unfortunately, that's all it had. It gets worthy for being spooky, but otherwise it sucks.
