TRUE TERROR — by Steve Nadis
The scariest movies these days are not the knockoff horror flicks like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel or the Grudge sequel, both of which are supposed to be execrable. But rather they are two documentaries: Deliver Us From Evil (about child-molesting Catholic priests) and Jesus Camp (about terror-inducing evangelical Christian zealots trying to “break the power of the devil in this nation”). My two cents worth, as always, should be taken with a large grain of salt, as I haven’t seen any of the movies mentioned. While the first two are just garbage, I may even skip the last two “quality” films, as I probably don’t have the stomach for them. Bring on those chainsaw-wielding maniacs from Texas, if you must. That I can take no problem.

How can one revivew movies that one has never seen?
Woah–hot potato! I got your back on this one, Snake.
Oldroses, he’s not REviewing them, because he’s never viewed them. He’s PREviewing them, which, by definition, has to be done before viewing. So Snake shows his dedication to the fine art of previewing by refusing to be drawn into the theater before he has stated his opinion.
Thanks Gatemouth for, once again, coming to my rescue. I was trying to hit upon a way of wriggling out of this one until I read your well-timed note. I owe you on this one, big-time.
“‘Jesus Camp’”?? Can I rent it.. can I rent it??
Hoo-boy,Snake,I’d pay the $2 just to see the “title scene!”

this is WIERD, Snake! I tried linking to the “Jesus” movie’s ‘page’(via the ‘Url’ field) & blog.com put YOUR PROFILE in place of the link! (??)
Here it is, all. –> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486358/
Hey Marco — I suspect it’s not on video yet. Thanks for the URL. I didn’t want to look it up before so that my writing would not be prejudiced by knowing anything at all about the film.
You’re right Snake, blood-n-gore flicks are easier to stomach than some documentaries’ subject matters.
Thanks FW, on this matter I believe we’re both right.
