Documenting the events leading up to the annual Hell House on Halloween, this documentary explores the reason and intention behind the church in Texas that hosts it. Thousands of people visit this show each year hosted by Trinity Church in Cedar Hill.
One of the things that is interesting about this documentary is that the film makers do not seem to present a perspective or bias about this event or the people organizing it. It instead presents their perspective and gives an insight into their lives and that causes the audience to react in a particular way. Another thing that is interesting is the amount of time and talent that is put into the show that they present to audiences on Halloween. There is a pretty decent budget and a lot of people involved. Moreover, the process that this event goes through is pretty impressive as well.
Being a Christian myself I can totally understand the message this church is trying to convey. Through the different sketches and portrayals they are depicting life without God and without knowing Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. But, the way that is being done is probably not the best way to do it and the film makers are successful in doing that by just walking the audience through the sketches.
Overall, this documentary is eye opening and also an important lesson for us as believers to consider our method of communication when we are preaching the good news and reflecting Christ.
