5. This one is a stretch, but here goes.

The OP has the perfect instance, from The Twilight Zone, Nothing in the Dark, featuring Gladys Cooper and a young Robert Redford. It's a good one.

Then there's Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Certainly there's never been a better instance on film.


I am reaching here. But the genre seems to be rather narrowed by the two iconic exemplars, one in TV, one in cinema.

It will be interesting to see other responses.

6. Interesting take! 👍🏻

7. Any other instance I can come up with is not the angel of death,

but Satan, or some sort of evil devil.

General Ripper, utterly mad and evil, doesn't exactly fit as standard portrayals of the angel of death, benevolent and necessary. I only posted him as being an allegorical instance, given that the most likely surviving animals from his actions are tardigrades. He's the angel of death on steroids.

Alas! Universal death is our species' inevitable future. When, is the question. The universe is a cruel mistress.
