Director Adam Rehmeier has released some info about his upcoming religious thriller Jonas, which stars Gregg Gilmore as the title character. Rehmeier states that "JONAS is a fictional character study laced with supernatural accents...After mysteriously washing up on a desolate stretch of coastline, Jonas (Gregg Gilmore) sheds his sinful past and is guided to the City of Angels. Intuitively, he knocks on the doors of those in need of a powerful message...Though not a true horror film, audiences can still expect high doses of uncomfortable tension and awkwardness from Gilmore's portrayal of Jonas." You can check out the trailer for the film after the jump.
Whos' to know if this is going to end up portraying Christians as some kind of nutcases walking around trying to "help" or "heal" people. I would imagine it will be, but it is a religious-based thriller that's coming out, so I felt the need to at least address it.
I have wanted for quite a while to do a blog or site that centers on religion in horror, sci-fi, and genre films; Christian horror movies; books; and graphic novels. A lot of the posts probably won't be real long or detailed, but hopefully it will help point people that have similiar interests in a favorable direction. There's so many Christian books, films, and artists that go unheard of that hopefully this site will help.
