Why do we keep watching horror movies – even when they terrify us? Maybe because these stories aren’t just thrills and scares.

At the heart of nearly every horror story is a moment of helplessness followed by a cry for help. It’s a primal instinct – one that mirrors the Christian prayer: "Deliver us from evil."

This video explores how horror films echo our deepest spiritual battles, and how, in moments of dread, we are invited not just to survive, but to surrender and be saved.

👇 ABOUT 👇
We believe the Catechism is not a textbook, a collection of ideas, or a set of rules. We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the Catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the Catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world.

Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.
