This film \u201cbrings Jack Chick&#8217;s 1984 masterpiece to the silver screen.\u201d Calling anything Jack Chick has put out a \u201cmasterpiece\u201d tell you something right there. Check out the trailer for this \u201cmasterpiece.\u201d<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DARK DUNGEONS Full Trailer (Ultra HD)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8qc9JiIiOSQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nI have to admit that this film does look pretty awesome, just not in the way the filmmakers intended (CORRECTION: The filmmakers actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/2014\/05\/dark-dungeons-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\">did intend this kind of awesome<\/a>). What this film really seems to need though is a washed up semi-famous actor or actress to take a lead role or at least a cameo. I guess Candice Cameron was too busy with Dancing With The Stars. Kevin Sorbo might have be available now his character was killed off in God\u2019s Not Dead so he probably won\u2019t be in the sequel\u2026 or will he? God\u2019s Not Dead 2: Hell Is Real.<\/p>\n<p>Another great Christian film \u201cmasterpiece\u201d is \u201cThe Lock In.\u201d I haven\u2019t seen it yet, but it looks like a real winner to me. Just check out this awesome trailer:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE LOCK IN OFFICIAL TRAILER - 2014 [HD]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-05Wmrqhqjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nAs ridiculous as these films are, you have to give fundamentalist Christians credit for putting this stuff out there. Maybe atheists and humanists can learn something from their effort. Maybe we should be putting out cheesy and some high quality films promoting the values many of us share. I know, Dawkins and Krauss just put out \u201cThe Unbelievers,\u201d but that can\u2019t nearly be as entertaining as demons in your porn or \u201cR.P.G., R.P.G, R.P.G.\u201d Aside from \u201cThe Ledge,\u201d we\u2019ve got nothing.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t like there aren\u2019t talented atheists who could come up with an interesting story. It isn\u2019t like there aren\u2019t great atheist personalities on YouTube. Hell, we might even be able to pull in some real atheist actors and actresses. There are a lot of them in Hollywood and NYC. Plus there are a ton of atheist comedians too. So where are our films? I guess for now we will have to entertain ourselves with these ridiculously awesome Christian films. After all, they sort of make our case for us.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/friendlyatheist\/2014\/05\/21\/the-problem-with-fictional-atheists-on-television\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Problem with Fictional Atheists on Television<\/a> (patheos.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/review-zero-shades-of-grey-by-ned-carter\" target=\"_blank\">Review: &#8216;Zero Shades of Grey&#8217; by Ned Carter<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/12\/04\/tim-keller-on-suffering\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Keller on Suffering<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/09\/04\/5-best-books-to-de-convert-a-christian\/\" target=\"_blank\">5 Best Books To De-Convert A Christian<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=ef1e8695-c65f-471d-be37-ed7c73f5ac5c\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fundamentalist Christians have been putting out films for a while and not that God\u2019s Not Dead has been successful, we can expect to see more of these super heavy handed religious films from the batshit crazy sector of society. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,51,758,21],"tags":[38,305,1063,858,862,861,860,714,859],"class_list":["post-1394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-atheism-2","category-christianity","category-featured","category-the-media","tag-atheism","tag-christian-fundamentalism","tag-christianity","tag-dancing-with-the-stars","tag-dark-dungeon","tag-gods-not-dead","tag-hollywood","tag-kevin-sorbo","tag-ledge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1394"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1399,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394\/revisions\/1399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
