Michael Kern is back to talk about Christians and horror. Why the genre gets singled out, how conscience and worldview shape what we watch, and what horror can reveal about fear, evil, catharsis, and redemption. Then we discuss the surprise horror hits Backrooms and Obsession, why these indie films are resonating, and what their stories might have to say about desire, trauma, consent, and freedom.
