Have you ever seen the documentary movie Hell House?

[Maddy McCall]

Here's the website: http://www.hellhousemovie.com/hellhouse/index.html There's a trailer for the movie...and be sure to pay attention to clickable words. (When you get to the website and click to enter, a pop-up will pop up--don't x out, because that IS the website.)



The documentary follows the making of a Hell House at Trinity Church, just outside of Dallas. Trinity Church was the first to put on a Hell House, and now they are held all across the US, mainly to scare the hell out of kids so that they become saved out of fear of what might await them, should they not become saved. Of course, the hellbound of the film are people who have had abortions, or have suicided, or who are gay, or who are drug users, or who have AIDS.

I saw this documentary about a couple of weeks ago, and I found it to be very objectively filmed. Of course, my preconceived notions about the people who put on Hell House were confirmed. But I am sure that people on the other side of the issue found their views confirmed.

I was wondering if anyone at DU has seen this film and what you thought about it.
