Horror films are extremely fun to watch. However, when the themes become all the same, and the genre is possessed (pun intended) by the same motivations, it is repetitive. To combat that energy, we have decided to compile some of the films in this genre that don’t feature catholicism at all. These films have less to do with the ever-loving natures of the angel and devil and more to do with the scathing indictment of the human experience. So without further ado, here are some of the films that you should check out this weekend.
