What about a series/film that portrays demons in positive way? I would be interested in that. I loved the new Maleficent film for that reason. She was always my favorite villain as a child.

Besides Hellboy all of the shows I can think of that potrayal demons positive are anime. I think it just boils down to them not being as influenced by christianity as much. Plus there are all the stories and traditions of supernatural beings coexisting with humans.
For example the little shrines to demons and land gods showing respect. Also the belief that gods and humans and other beings can become demons if they submit to darkness, accidentally from emotional trauma, loss of a loved one etc.
I can reccomend the best as far as sympathetic and emotional: Natsumeās book of friends
ive seen a few and these next ones are on USA HULU if you have the service.
Blue excorcist, devil is a part timer (on hulu may still be on netflix), Devils and realist, Nura rise of the yokai clan,inuxboku ss, kamisama kiss, inuyasha, rage of baphomet
If you dont mind boob and panty shots theres the harem genre aimed at males but some of them have very well written and interesting demons.

Not a movie or tv show but I highly recommend this book. Itās basically the story of creation and the bible as told from the point of view of Lucifer. A very interesting read indeed, and itās available on Amazon:

Iāve just seen the first episode of South Of Hell, and all though itās quite dogmatic, itās about demonic possession used as a tool to exorcise other demons possessing humans. The main character, played by Mena Suvari, has been possessed by a demon called āAbigailā, and when doing her exorcism, the demon feeds on the demons possessing other humans.
Just look at the poster! The image itself pretty much sums up the physical manifestation of a spirit in possession of a human. Internal, yet also external by a permanent possession. Spot on!

You should watch it. Itās on HBO. This show seems to challenge the general dogma of demons, because the settings is in the āBible Beltā. Iām about to watch the second episode now.

Blue Exorcist and Natsume are the two I really do recommend, even though the latter is more Shinto than Western.
Anyone interested in alchemy might like Fullmetal Alchemist as well. Tons of Anime have really occult themes.

@SabahSnoblod mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist - definitely one of the more occult themed anime.
Just that scene where he is absorbing Godā¦ man, that was the shit.
Also Code Geass. Not as clear as Fullmetal Alchemist, but you can find a shitload of occult themes if you look deep enough.

Irregular at Magic high school is interesting, focuses on the mix of tech and magic.
Gurren Lagann does an intestering job at poking at the malleable nature of reality and how to harness it.

Yes, Gurren had an interesting point. There were these aliens that didnāt like change. They wanted everything to remain the same or under a certain level so they could control it. Some people had āspiralā power which represented change and life. This spiral power was unpredictable and the aliens decided it should be destroyed.
