There is a new movie coming out soon called "House" by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. I like the look of some of the stuff these men have produced, but with this I do feel weird about the idea of "Christian Horror" like it might be a contradiction or something. What do you guys think?

I have (um.. actually, borrowed, and never returned) one of his novels, The Oath, I think. I didn't read it all.. I'm not much for fiction, but my dad did, and it was the only Christian thing he ever read. I was thinking of getting him some for Christmas, since if I get him anything overtly Christian, it won't go down well, but I am not sure if this is the same thing as "Christian Rock" - using some worldly thing to win the lost...
I did see one of F.P's movies.. the Hangman's Curse or something. It was pretty garbage. I don't remember a gospel message in it or anything like that, and it turned out the bad guy wasn't the devil, but just some spider (sorry if I ruined it for anyone haha ). Not that I wanted to see the devil or anything, but after the whole movie and the kids and the occult, it seemed a bit of a let down "Oh hey guys, all that evil stuff we did, it turns out it was just a spider biting people and it was all a huge coincidence so I guess the occult isn't real after all". Anyway, that's how I remember it. |

It makes about as much sense as Christian Fiction. I have witnessed Churches using Guitar Hero 3 to bring children into church. That seems to be about as absurd as Christian Horror.

Wow so you guys think it is wrong to read good, decent Christian fiction? I guess you are the type of Christians that think it's wrong to have any kind of fun because smiling is somehow wrong for a Christian...wow. I can understand being against the "Christian horror" because I'm not sure I even like the idea myself, but slamming Christian fiction reeks of Phariseeism.

Fiction may include horror, and horror can be fiction; but fiction is not horror, and horror is not fiction. Some fiction does not include horror, and nonfiction (such as the fact of Hell) can be horror! |
