I’ve grown weary of great atmospheric horrors/thrillers turning out to be just another pagan cult, or an often pagan-esque occult or satanic cult. Especially with the current state of affairs of the US, it’s all just starting to reek of Satanic Panic and demonizing non-Christian faiths.

What are some good films where they pagans are good/the Christians are bad? While TV, I know Midnight Mass portrays a very complicated and varied view of Catholicism.

Edit: thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! I’ve definitely added a lot of great suggestions to my list. Red State has been suggested a number of times already, and while it’s a great suggestion I’d like to hear some more different suggestions. Also reality/real life/FoxNews/etc keeps getting suggested, which contributes nothing other than looking like an unoriginal teenage edgelord.

Other popular suggestions (please stop suggesting them- they’re drowning out other, more varied suggestions): We Summon The Night, The Mist, St Maud, The Sacrament, Black Mass, Pure on Hulu, Black Death, Carrie

Edit: someone sent me a Reddit cares message over this post.
