From ’The Exorcist’ to ’Heretic,’ why holy horror can be hit with moviegoers

Summary

Nutrition label

66% Informative

Horror has had a decades -long attraction to religion, Christianity especially in the U.S. , with the 1970s “ The Exorcist ” and The Omen” being prime examples.

The supernatural elements of horror and its sublime nature pair easily with belief and spirituality.

The mixing of horror and religion can go wrong if the movie is meant to offend the believers of a particular faith, says Lisa Morton .

Some horror films, like exorcism movies, are built upon the fact that they are drawing upon real rituals and then taking them to a more extreme conclusion.
