In light of what I’ve said elsewhere in this diary, about Christianity, I want to say something further about how that subject might relate to artworks like The Blair Witch Project (and to horror as a genre), not because there is a particular connection between Christianity and that movie (I’d contend that the faith speaks to all things, equally), but because I only just now was discussing the film, and because I’m aware of the impression that religion in general, and Christianity specifically, cordons itself off from encounters with any of the works of humankind that are transgressive enough to risk seeming, from a Christian perspective, heretical, pornographic, or blasphemous. Or, more to the point, works that could seem to celebrate those qualities, rather than to disavow them, or to reveal them in the context of their depravity and alienation.
