Title: Why does "Hell" appeal more to movie makers than heaven?
Post by: martincisneros on June 26, 2008, 02:15:40 PM
Why does "Hell" sell more than "Heaven?"  I can understand to a point in religious circles, but in a supposedly godless [at the very least creedless] Hollywood, what's the attraction to "Hell?"  Why aren't there really amazing epics made in a setting and in an environment comparable to the last couple of chapters of the book of Revelation?  Or why doesn't something "Edenic" sell without an absolute blood bath being a part of the movie?  Why is "Hell" glorified in Hollywood?

"adreniline"

I agree.  It is the same reason why their is a genre called 'horror'.  I admit, I like a good scary movie...not a cut em' up type, but 6th Sense type.

"Adrenaline" must be a part of the appeal in preaching it, besides the issues of honestly believing it and having compassion for others, and occasionally having a questionable spirit about it.
