Exploring the intersection of horror films and Christian themes, Josh Larsen argues that these movies reflect deep-seated fears that resonate with the Christian experience. Each chapter focuses on a different horror subgenre, linking it to a specific fear while examining biblical perspectives on that fear. By analyzing films like Get Out and The Babadook, Larsen reveals how their narratives and aesthetics can be interpreted through a theological lens, ultimately highlighting both the artistry of horror and its potential for conveying messages of hope and redemption.
