Bascially what it means is wealth, but from what I understand its wealth that is attained by means of evil. So what I'm guessing is that in some religion or other belief they have turned this word and its meaning into a demon of sorts.

mammon is mentioned 4 times in the bible.
Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:9
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.
Luke 16:11
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luke 16:13
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
But mammon is not a person. Mammon is material riches. Jesus was saying that you cannot have money and getting rich as the central focus of your life and serve Him as well. Read Luke Chapter 16 in full and you will see it is context.
That movie is like a lot of movies that come out about Christianity. More to do with entertainment rather than accuracy.
