Scott Derrickson on Horror Movies

(Filed under: Movies)

“Well there's a number of things that I find uniquely compelling about the horror genre as a Christian. I think that it's definitely the most open and appropriate for religious, theological and spiritual subject matter. A lot of horror films not only allow for that, they necessitate that. I think that horror is also the best genre for identifying and defining good and evil. Almost all horror films are in some form a commentary on good and evil.”

-Scott Derrickson, writer and director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose. (The Source for Youth Ministry, Sept. 8, 2005)
