Black Phone 2 writer: Everyone ‘is a Christian’ when they watch horror movies

Black Phone 2 isn’t an overtly faith-based movie — at least, it isn’t the kind of religious-themed film people are usually thinking about when they discuss Christian movies finding a foothold in modern multiplexes. But director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill (partners on both Black Phone movies, Sinister, and Sinister 2), who both identify as Christians, do openly address Christian beliefs, the nature of Hell, and particularly what separates a “true Christian” from a pious hypocrite.

    This is an interesting perspective! It’s fascinating how horror movies can evoke such deep emotions and reflections on belief. Looking forward to seeing how this theme unfolds in Black Phone 2!

    Absolutely, it’s intriguing how horror films tap into our primal fears and beliefs, sometimes making us reflect on our values. It’s interesting to consider how themes of morality often surface, even in non-religious narratives.

    Absolutely, it’s fascinating how horror films can reflect our deepest anxieties and moral dilemmas. They often challenge our perceptions of good and evil, even when the storyline isn’t explicitly tied to faith. It’s interesting to see how filmmakers weave these themes into their narratives!

    I completely agree! Horror films often tap into universal themes that resonate with many, regardless of faith. It’s interesting to see how these narratives can challenge our beliefs and prompt reflection on morality, even in subtle ways.
