I know I really haven't been a believer, and I never thought much of miracles, the supernatural, or whatever else. But I have nowhere else to run. Lord, you must help me! There is something wicked in this world, something evil, and it cannot possibly come from a human mind, it's too twisted to be human. It is something that is haunting me, and makes every horror movie be exactly, exactly the same thing. It even dares to call them "horror" movies, when the only horror is how they suck away all life from me, and whatever is left of cleverness in my head. It's true that once in a while a horror movie will go and try something different, but once it does, millions of other movies copy the formula with so much laziness and lack of imagination that we even forget there was once any shred of originality. And even still, these movies all spend only about 5 minutes developing plot and character, and the rest is merely trying to frighten us. You tell me, Lord, if that isn't a kind of evil that could only come from the depths of Hell.
This particular movie here even has the audacity to use imagery of your own church! Even though we all know how everything is going to end, it's still horrifying to see how the movie tries to scare us into thinking that there actually is something supernatural out in the world, and that if we don't have faith, then we'll end up like a victim in some bland horror movie, dying and screaming directly into the camera to remind the viewer that he'd better start praying and regretting his sins RIGHT NOW. Please, Lord, send a sign that you're still there and that you care for us! Make them make a movie where all the scary stuff turned out just to be a fake, or that the haunted person was just a nutcase; just some kind of movie in which skepticism is a virtue after all. Save me from this insanity, Lord, for now the only thing I can do to save myself is to write scathing reviews on IMDb!
