Topic: Harmless, the Fundamentalist horror movie about a haunted box of porn

KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN FOR HARMLESS

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1969648737/harmless

What this project is all about? 

Harmless is a feature film shot in the popular found footage style.  It's the story about a husband and father and his battle with a box of porn that is found in the closet.  Once opened, the box of porn begins to torment the family, much like a poltergeist.  It's sort of a social commentary on how pornography can destroy a family.

Why are we doing a project like this?     

Because films are not only entertaining but they're also a way to teach people.  Society learns their morals and values through music, film and television.  Pornography is such a huge problem that simply telling someone how dangerous it is usually doesn't work.  You have to tell a compelling story to catch someone's attention and then educate them while they're being entertained.

I would fund that. Sounds like a hilarious project.

What? You saying it's not a comedy?

Bollocks.

Do they actually show the porn?

I kinda doubt it.

Then uh, what is the point?

To make a conservative Christian version of the "Blair Witch Project" that bashes you over the head with a clumsily inserted moral that doesn't really have anything to do with the ghosts and demons, but makes sense to the director, whose comprehension of literature is limited to Sunday School tracts and Jack Chick pamphlets.

I find the thing to be somewhat refreshing. It speaks well of the evolution of Christian "entertainment" that the director is trying to rip off something as recent as the Blair Witch Project. If he were keeping to the normal pattern he'd be looking to do a Christian version of something from the late 70's to early 80's. If this proves to be a trend, then conservative Christians will be attempting Ed Wood grade ripoffs of movies from the current decade by the time I'm retired.

Man if only there were low budget hack job movies that reflected my world view.



Shut up irony!

Seriously though, nobody can compete with the Mormons for family entertainment moralizing films:

Buttercream Gang

Rigoletto (1993) Part 1

Shut up irony!

No, no, no, the irony is that the idiot is making Part 2, even though the market has decided against the film.

They already have pro-life scare tactic movies in theaters passing off as emotional dramas: October Baby - Official Trailer [HD]

13 days to go and only $225 raised.
This erotic comics anthology was fully funded in 19 hours ($20,000, still going up with 26 days to go) Probably NSFW http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/the-smut-peddler-pre-order-project

lol. It would be hilarious if a big porn studio paid the $5,000 level to direct a scene and get a producer credit.

[Vincegamer]

Smut Peddler went up to over $37,000 in the one day since you posted here. Must be popular among the skeptics.

[D'oh!]
