20. Blair Witch Project (1999)

Another movie about witchcraft.

This one teaches you what will happen if you play with the Devils fire. A bunch of kids go out into the woods to "scare themselves" with a "make believe witch". Well they find out that evil is very real and end up dying for their God mocking ways.

Another plus to this movie is that there is a good chance that your children will get physically ill while watching this. Just inform them that it was caused by Satan attempting to get them through the TV screen and have them pray to God in their rooms for protection.

As for #2, I haven't seen it and doubt I will ever see it.

21. The Crucible (1996)



More of a docudrama than an actual "horror movie" it does seem popular at this time of year. It shows how Satan can appear as an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Teenage harlots are led by a Negro woman in an act of witchcraft in the woods outside of Salem Mass. Because the leader of these teenage girls is the niece of the local Reverend who witnessed the witchcraft he keeps his mouth shut about his discovery.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (I'm pretty sure that includes harlot nieces)

However the witchcraft becomes known when children in the village become stricken with a form of paralysis. So the government sends in Judge Thomas Danforth to weed out the witches. Although he routes out a few real witches (a woman who reads strange books, and another woman who curses a herd of pigs) he falls for the lies that drip off of the head witch's (Abigail) tongue instead of listening to the expert testimony of the Good Reverend Hale, who is an expert on witches. There are good Christian messages of the dangers of Adultery, Harlotry, Witchcraft, coveting and Lying. Also, there are some excellent lines by Reverend Hale on how to spot a witch (they cannot recite the 10 commandments). There is also the wonderful moral that if you think someone is a witch, call in a Reverend that is experienced with witchcraft, not some government official.

We have a television, but no hookup. We have a library of DVD's that we sit down and watch as a family.

That is very wise. Especially when children are around. Even if you turn off an unsuitable show such as
GUR OBYQ NAQ GUR ORNHGVSHY copy the green text & click HERE for title
an instant of depravity might be glimpsed by a little one and implant itself as a subliminal message in their heart. Mark 9:42 As a weak and foolish thing I am similarly vulerable and banish this temptation lest soon I were plucking with my hands Proverbs 14:1

Not a lot of people know this, but the Crucible is actually a subtle political allegory. Arthur Miller wrote it to warn of the senseless persecution that Christians and anyone suspected of Christian sympathies would suffer at the hands of death panels if socialist health care was ever introduced. A pretty scary and powerful message.

Here's an idea for you, Kris.

Instead of sharing with us the contents of your ENTIRE NETFLIX QUEUE, how about you write a review of one or more of these movies, sharing with us your opinions about how they describe and support a Christian worldview?

I believe Sister BIG has provided more than adequate examples in this thread (if, say, you read it) so you may suss out the Godly themes or lack thereof in the films you have likely already seen.

Now, THAT would get you a

Then we can discuss with you whether we agree with your assessments, and have a wonderful Christian dialogue.

How prophetic! I didn't realize they knew Obama was coming so long ago. Kinda creepy.

From his avatar, I'm going to assume he's a papist. Do you really think a papist sees a movie like "the Exorcist" in a proper Christian way?

Re: Horror Movies From God

As Rev. Rodimer called this,

Kris M's Netflix Queue

1. House of 1000 Corpses(2003)/The Devil’s Rejects(2005)

   The first one again teaches our children to not be sticking their noses where they don't belong. Teenagers go searching for macabre horror stories on the back roads of Texas. Unchaperoned they fall for the friendly face of Captain Spalding and are tortured and murdered by his family. Not only that, but they get the people who came looking for them murdered as well. Again kids, leave Satan's minions alone or who knows what's going to happen to you. As for the sequel, once again it's just gore for gore's sake and has absolutely no redeeming factors at all.

2. Resident Evil (any of the movies)

   Based on a video game it is supposed to lure our children into that black world. It also has a femnazi heroine who dresses like a whore and slams big corporations as evil.

3. 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later

   Shows what the animal rights people are going to do if they keep up with their bombings of laboratories. It also shows what will happen if scientists don't stop playing God and inventing such things. A "rage virus" is created by scientists and released by animal rights people. It destroys England. Fortunately it is on an island so is contained. The second movie just extends on the first one because there are some carriers discovered who still have the disease.

4. The Others

   A strange movie claiming that Ghosts are basically just people living in another dimension and not evil spirits, or demons as the Bible states.

5. The Haunting (1963/1999)

   Lesbians, ghosts, lying to people and a haunted house. Nothing of redeeming Christian value here.

6. Arachnophobia

   Plays on peoples fear of spiders. Sure it scared me because I do have a phobia, but people who are not afraid of spiders only thought it was funny because they could scare others with it.

7. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

   This is a horror movie?

8. The Blob(1958/1988)

   No real Christian redeeming factors, although I would say the 1958 movie would be safe watching. The 1988 remake though, the teenagers are irreverent to adults, more gore, etc. Typical of modern remakes.

9. Nightmare on Elm Street(1984)

   A child murderer is murdering even more children in their dreams. Although dreams are one of the ways that God talks to us, I don't think this is a very good form of discussing the importance of dreams.

10. Mothman Prophecies(2002)

    Sorry, I haven't seen this one, and don't know how to rate it.

11. The Silence of the Lambs(1991)/Hannibal(2001)/Red Dragon(2002)

    Honestly I am torn on the first one. On the plus side it shows how dangerous the homersexual agenda is and that they're mass murderers and will do anything to appease their disgusting nature. It also shows that most psychiatrists are on the wrong end of the couch. The down side is that it shows a woman earning a career as a police agent, and that she figures out who the bad guy is before any of the fully trained men could. So I leave this one up to the parents to decide. ///////// The sequels were just made to try and feed off of the popularity of the original. Once again, no Christian redeeming factor.

12. Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974/2003)

    Well at least these kids weren't out looking for trouble, although why the parents would send the children out to deal with their grandfathers grave being defiled is beyond me. Once again another lesson for children not to be sticking their noses where they don't belong. Also the 2003 remake is just gore, no redeeming factors whatsoever.

13. Cloverfield(2008)

    Aliens and idiots. No Christian redeeming factors whatsoever.

14. Audition(1999)

    Some chink film, never saw it, I avoid foreign films as they don't carry American values in them.

15. The Ring(2002)

    A rip off of a Japanese film the American version is different enough as to give a decent warning. PEOPLE, REALLY WE ARE WARNED ABOUT SUPERNATURAL THINGS FOR A REASON!

16. Quarantine(2008)

    A dire warning about what Obamacare is going to turn into. A dog in an apartment building gets rabies and passes it on to the humans. Instead of getting these people a simple set of shots (approximately $400-$500 for the set from what I've found) Obama's henchmen lock off the building and shoot anyone who tries to escape. Of course they also convince the MSM that all the people have been removed from the building.

So there you go.

Re: Horror Movies From God

Could you review The Happening? I recently sat down and watched it, and while it didn't have very many positive Christian morals or anything like that it was just a really, really good movie.

[BelieverInGod]

Re: Horror Movies From God

Done

22. The Happening(2008)

Unlike Brother Wash, I did find some Christian morality in it. It shows that no matter what scientists say, in the end it is only a theory. It also shows that those liebrals that think the government is going to take care of them are in for a rude surprise when God starts unleashing things onto this planet.

Sure, it doesn't include God, but that's why we need to watch movies like this with our children, so that we can explain the details.
