Christians are SCARY

From an article on the Michael Bay site..."Platinum Dunes Productions scored monster returns with the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which cost $9.5 million to make and scared up more than $80 million in domestic grosses (and gross-outs). The company scored another hit with last month’s remake of The Amityville Horror, which won its opening weekend at the box office with $23.5 million. And none of these figures factor in the increasingly lucrative DVD market."

“...The horror product coming out of Asia challenges audiences,” says Bob Myerson, executive vice president of Tartan Films, which specializes in distributing Asian films in the United States. “Their plots are more sophisticated and therefore the payoff is more intense. American studios, in their constant search for new product, have taken notice.”


I think this article shows where Christians can have an edge too. We have some of the SCARIEST elements for a movie ever known to mankind. We should take advantage of it. The realm of evil is a reality. I have not seen "The Exorcists" nor do I think Christians should watch it, but from what I've heard it was scary when it came out. And a Christian "Exorcist" would be more impacting than that because we would show evil at its worst and good at its best and it would be REAL. Man that would be an awesome movie! I think I'm gonna make one. A really scary one. Possibly based on true stories. It's time for a good scary Christian movie!
