A bit more on horror
2007.11.29
Still, the hot button genre with the highest temperature seems to be horror, and how Christians should – or shouldn’t – interact with it.
Horror, Gore, Fear and the Christian…
Since I mentioned horror in an earlier post, I thought that I’d link to this.
Amen, i love horror movies.
I believe if God hates horror movies, then he’ll hate passion of the Christ. Violence is violence, and the bible is different. Cause all we need is the bible, not a movie.
So i can care less about passion of the Christ.
A movie must have a message.
If i remember correctly Jesus was saying a story in the bible, that to me is a horror story.
I think he said something about a man killing someone and so on. But other then that there was a message in what Jesus said.
I sometimes have bad memory in remember scriptures. So i should of used a book mark.
It’s true some Christians jump to conclusion on certain things like horror movies, music, animals..etc. So i understand what most of these people commenting to this forum means.
You may say well Passion of the Christ brought many people to God.. well it didn’t bring some. so therefore God can use any movie (horror, sci-fi, drama, action, comedy, sport, short, thriller, documentary,..etc.)
And yes we should be able to stay away from some Horror movies that only revolve around sex, drugs without any meaning to the plot line.
I seen a lot of horror movies in my days that only deal with sex and the sex has no purpose in the movie. So therefore the movie is practically about teens having sex and being murdered or whatever the situation is. Another example of a bad horror movie that we should probably stay away from is 2001 Maniacs. I haven’t seen it, but I’m going to check the plot to the movie. But I think it only deals with and is meant for Gore. I find nothing wrong with gore in a movie, but if it only deals with gore and has no meaning in the movie, i would stay away.
What i find in horror movies that i like is the fact that they help each other out, help each other survive, be their for each other and love each other. That’s the basic element i love in horror movies. I practically like survival situation in movies. As God would want us to be their for each other, help each other out, protect each other, and love each other no matter what situation were in (good or bad situation)doesn’t matter. God is always there for us.
My favorite horror movies are:
Resident evil (123)
Saw 2

Ice Spiders
Passion of the Christ
Final Destination (123)
