“Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?”

I'd actually argue that horror is the most Christian genre of film. Obviously that's not true of the torture porn stuff -- films in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre tradition -- but supernatural horror is often subtly Christian and sometimes very explicitly Christian. It's the only category of film where the supernatural, demons, spirits, exorcisms, the Church, etc, are consistently taken seriously. The only genre where the priest might actually be the good guy. Horror has deep roots in Christian thought and tradition.
The miracle of some local families being spared when they fled the fire and sought shelter at the local chapel led to the first approved Marian apparition in the U.S.
Sorkin’s THE SOCIAL RECKONING is one of the most insipid, ugly, flat films of the year — an insufferably sanctimonious fantasia of blue-state Boomers that traps Jeremy Strong in a man-child performance that unintentionally echoes Martin Short in CLIFFORD. https://t.co/ZNR669UVfP
