I'm assuming you mean Children of the Corn.

16. Children of the Corn (1983)



I am actually torn on this one. Although it shows strength of faith, and the importance of having a firm hand on your children, the amount of demon worship in it makes me uneasy.

Perhaps one of the pastors could make a better call on this one.

Re: Horror Movies From God

You know, other people can do reviews as well. Anyway....

15. Amityville Horror (1979)


Sorry, but the main reason that this movie gets the thumbs down is because it is all lies. The family found out about previous murders in the house and figured out how to make a buck at it. Nobody except the family has every had anything happen to them in that house.

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Exodus 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report.
Exodus 23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter.
Now I'm not being silly here, if they had said it was a work of fiction, then I would judge the movie strictly on its merits.

Before I get into the movie, I would like to go into a bit of the history of the house.

• According to the Lutz's tragedy struck every family that ever lived in that home, that's just not true.
• The house was originally farmland owned by the Irelands, no record of anything happening while part of their property.
• January 14, 1924 the Irelands sold the property to John and Catherine Moynahan. They contracted Jesse Perdy to build the house then happily raised a family of 6 in the home
  
• When John and Catherine died (of old age) their daughter moved into the house.
• She sold the house on October 17, 1960 to John and Mary Riley.
  
• Because they divorced (hardly a supernatural incident) the Riley's sold the house on June 28, 1965 to the DeFoes
• The DeFoes are the family that really had issues in the house. It seems that as badly as Mr. DeFoe tried to take an upper hand with his family, the 60's drug craze hit his family hard. On November 13, 1974 Ronald Defoe Jr. shot all of his family, except one sister, in a drugged out haze. There are suspicions that the sister was also involved in the murders although she was never charged.
  
• December 18, 1975 The Lutz family moved into the house. The knew the history of the house and said that it "didn't bother them". They brought in a priest to bless the house (like that works) then all the horrors that are shown in the movie supposedly happened.
• Robert DeFoe Jr. claims that his Lawyer and the Lutz's concocted the whole story and sold it to Jay Anson. The book sold for $80 million and the Lutz's had a lucrative career on the talk show circuit.
  
• March 18, 1977 Jim and Barbara Cromarty purchased the home from the bank. The biggest complaint they had were tourists who wanted to see the house. They did a large renovation project that moved the front door to the adjoining street, and the address was changed because of this.
  
• The Cromarty's successfully sued the Lutz's for an undisclosed amount for invasion of privacy.
• August 17, 1987, Peter and Jeanne O'Neil purchased the house and did some more renovations including filling in the pool. Not one of the construction workers claim to have seen anything unusual in the house.
  
• June 10, 1997, Brian Wilson purchased the house and did further renovations including rebuilding the boat house and strengthening the foundation. You think somebody would have noticed a pit to hell while they were working on the foundation.
  
• In August 2010, the house was sold again, but I don't have the name of those purchasers.

Alright, now we're done with the lies lets look at the movie itself.

There is absolutely nothing Christian about this movie. Again, they call in the catholic church for an "exorcism" and again the catholic priest fails (are we seeing a trend yet people?). So the demons possesses the family and finally scare them to the point of leaving. The family isn't christian, the demons win, and it's based on lies.

Re: Horror Movies From God

I'd love you to review Children from the Corn and Amityville (any of the 9).

Gracias,

Ah yes, the Amityville Whore. The one about the woman with demons in her cooter that would eat . . . well, this is a family forum.

Suffice it to say, it has scared quite literally hundreds of boys from my congregation away from loose women!

Re: Horror Movies From God

The Wicker Man! A ver good movie, the 70's one that is, the new one is terrible, plus, it stars Nicholas Cage, who recently betrayed us by playing a Mage in that awful movie with dancing brooms.

Re: Horror Movies From God

I friend took me to Burning Man a few years ago. Although it's definitely NOT a christian event, they don't actually burn people.

Of course they do. They just don't allow them to scream, like in the documentary.

The Christian man they burn each year is bound and gagged within the Burning Man.

Re: Horror Movies From God

It's also the inspiration for the "Burning Man" ritual in the desert each year.

They really do put a Christian man inside the Burning Man!

I'm still not sure how the whole Burning Man event started in the first place.

BTW, since everyone here are talking about "halloween movies from God" and such, are there any plans for a "Godly Halloween Movie Night" or something?

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Horror Movies From God

Yes, the originals are usually better, especially regarding the Christian messages.

14. Deep Blue Sea (1999)


"He [God] always answers, sometimes you just don't like what he has to say" ~ preacher


At first I was going to give this a thumbs down because of the "science" and women in tight wetsuits, but there is some Godly stuff in this movie.

A woman scientist grieving over losing her father to Alzheimer disease puts together a team to study shark brains because sharks don't get the disease. She decides that she knows better than God and makes super intelligent sharks because she needs the bigger brains for her experiments. God uses these bears of the sea to teach the harlot of a woman a good lesson on how messing with his creation can backfire.

The sharks pick off the crew one by one until the femnazi finally shuts up and lets a man start leading their escape. There are two Negroes in the movie, Sherman 'Preacher' Dudley (LL Cool J) an ex-con who has found Jesus and is happy in his servant roll as the cook and Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) who is funding the project and seems to spend his time trying to prove how "white" he is. I wont say exactly what happens, but God definitely takes offense when Russell tries to take over leadership of the escape. I particularly enjoy how God seems to always send something to protect Preacher no matter how close the sharks are.

So to sum it up, the True Christian messages in this movie are as follows.

• Women should know their place
• Don't mess with God's creation
• A Negro can be a True Christian
• God always answers prayers, even if you don't like the answer
• Negroes have a place in God's plan
• Don't think you know better than God

Re: Horror Movies From God

Sister BIG, I do believe that particular film has been reviewed more than once here on the forum.

This is the first one I found:

Well then I guess it gets a thumb up.

13. The Wicker Man (1973/2006)



I'll have to go find it now.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Horror Movies From God

Sister BIG, I do believe that particular film has been reviewed more than once here on the forum.

This is the first one I found:

Last night, I watched a documentary which followed a "Christian" (Episcopalian!) explorer as he visited an island populated entirely by Wiccans.

He tried in vain to point out to them that their so-called religion was nothing but a heap of bizarre superstition, with naked girls leaping over a fire and hoping to become impregnated by the flames of the Fire Demon (when they'd been humping local menfolk the night before), belief in reincarnation, etc. His valiant efforts to show them the Truth about Jesus, God Incarnate, who sacrificed Himself to Himself so that He might not have to change the laws He created to govern His imperfect Creation, fell on deaf ears. At long last, our explorer was rewarded with martyrdom. At no point did his faith falter!

I strongly recommend this documentary to anyone who wishes to learn the truth about Wicca.

Re: Horror Movies From God

Brothers and Sisters,

I received a PM to do a review of "The Wicker Man", unfortunately I have not seen this movie, could somebody else do a review of it for me?

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Horror Movies From God

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and watch Halloween and it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Show this to small children so they will understand the importance of a pious and chaste lifestyle.

Brother, are you suggesting that Jamie Lee Curtis's feminazi Lezbean character is to be a role model, since she survived the ordeal?

12. Frailty (2001)



What a wonderful Christian romp this story is. Mr. Meiks, a single father with two boys in Texas, is called by God to go out and kill Demons that are in the guise of humans. God even provides Mr. Meiks with a holy ax to kill them with. He is so excited he wakes his two boys up and takes them with him to assist on his Holy quest.

It turns out though that only Adam can see the demons, leading the father to believe that Fenton is possessed by a demon. The story is told from Fenton's point of view that his father was insane, but there is an interesting twist at the end that I will leave for the viewer.

We really do need more Christian viewing like this.

Sister, you are absolutely right. An uplifting conclusion indeed!
