10 Greatest Religious Horror Movies Of All Time

This Stephen King adaptation is a fascinating look not only at religious zealots but what impact youth and ignorance can have. It follows a young couple who are trapped in a remote town filled with children that genuinely believe all people over the age of eighteen must be killed.

As with most King stories, it revels in taking something that should be innocent and applying some monstrous implications to it. Children should certainly not have an attitude like this. Still, in a scenario in which they have all been left alone, and the supernatural/religious implications are so strong, it is entirely believable to see how this might occur.

The film has a few glaring flaws that hold it back a little. It can often rely too heavily on melodrama and clichés. Additionally, it never truly feels particularly scary as although the scenario seems horrid, the children are still in fact children. But it is still a fantastically entertaining movie.

The biggest highlight has to be the performance of John Franklin as Isaac. He was playing the role of a young child but was, in fact, twenty-three. This experience is evident as he revels in the part, having as much fun as he possibly can in the role.
