i don't sort things i like by genre. my favorite horror film is the manchurian candidate (the original). if something is well done, and makes me suspend my disbelief, i enjoy it. that's all.

I do love Kevin Smith's Dogma. Not so much into horror films. Stephen King's novels, though... I really enjoy the mythology of his universe around the Dark Tower and the connection through so many of his other books.

It's hard for me to like most of these movies because I don't believe in ghosts but The Sixth Sense is one that I really like.

I loved The Omen and Damien Omen ll
The Excorsist
The Fog (A little dated now?)
I wouldn't let religion get in the way of a great story.

I think there are plenty of great religious themed movies, books, etc. But it's just another fictional supernatural story. I see no real difference between fictional supernatural stories and fictional mundane stories. A good story is a good story.

However...I detest modern supernatural "based on a true story" movies, etc. Those are the ones that are usually just ridiculous and have so many holes in the plot that they're just rubbish, but since they're "based on a true story" they get more attention.

I thought The Conjuring was just pathetic and I absolutely detest Ed and Lorraine Warren. They're idiots and charlatans that duped people for their own personal gain.

The only thing true about movies "based on a true story" is that they are in fact based on a story that someone claimed was true. I wish the younger generation (and foolish older generations) could understand that. A story that is claimed to be true is NOT a story that has been proven to be factual.

But it certainly fooled me when I read The Amityville Horror as a child. I thought it was true so it made it that much scarier.

As long as they’re interesting and not preachy I like them. I love The Da Vinci Code

One of the best for me that rattled so many Chritian cages was Scorcese's Last Temptation. I love to see Christians wring their hands and wailing in the morning!?

The most horrific, unnecessary religio/horrific film I have seen is Gibson's Passion of the Christ. Sensationalist shite for me!

I’m currently trying to get through Innocent Blood by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell. A vampire order in the Catholic Church trying to prevent Armageddon. What grinds my teeth the people and creatures wholeheartedly believe in the teachings and prophecies of the bible. Still have too many pages left after almost a week.

I can get behind any show, story, movie, even the unbelievable, as long as the characters deal with the situation in a realistic way, true to their character and nature, as long as I can relate to their reactions. I can suspend my disbelief as long as I can believe in the characters.
Supernatural (huge fan) has already been brought up, and I would site it for a good example of how I believe the characters, and how they deal with the situations they face with "authentic" and believable reactions.
Is it a bit silly - Sure, but it's entertainment.

Can't stand most of them, but I do occasionally like a good one, like the Medium TV series. And I love the Misha Burnett Catskinner book series, which is sort of its own genre..combines scifi, fantasy, horror, but not really those exact genres, and is a great story. But neither of these is religious. I avoid all occult and religious stuff.

I’m not keen on specifically religious themes, although Dogma is a favourite, but I really enjoy supernatural and fantasy fiction, both to watch and to read. Fiction about ghosts or angels is no different to fiction about vampires, werewolves and other such fantastical beings.

I love ‘supernatural’, ‘Lucifer’ etc. and usually have some sort of urban fantasy on the go. I also love the Marvel movies. God, Lucifer, Iron Man, Castiel, they’re all fantasy to me and I love ‘em.

A good story is a good story.

I'm with you. I enjoy them all as well. In my eye they are all works of fiction but art nonetheless and art is always meant to be enjoyed and viewed differently. I actually watched a movie called Silence about the persecution of Catholics in Japan. Although the relgious undertone was a little agitating the depiction of the movie in a very accurate historical time was very well done.

Oh yeah I dig all kinds of stuff I don't believe in if it’s incorporated into some good action/thriller/horror/sci fi. Supernatural, the Twilight Zone, fairly selective about horror movies though. I think I prefer realist slashers to modern supernatural stuff, but the classic monsters up through the 80s are solid. Cant stomach the modern torture porn style of saw, hostel, human centipede (still a better lovestory than twilight). Things predecated on a demon possession or religious dogma for the danger are just a riot. In the words of beetlejuice, IVE SEEN THE EXORCIST 168 times and it KEEPS gettin FUNNIER EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I SEE IT!

The Mother of all such movies? mother! My review [ruthlessreviews.com]

I love any good fictional work. A good work of fiction can sell you on its fictional world and immerse you in it and it has nothing to do with what I would believe is factual in my own world. That's why it's called "FICTION".

I've been binge watching Supernatural lately. I don't have a problem with it. I also enjoy Doctor Who even though I don't believe in a time travelling tardis. I see no difference.
