The only stories that Hollywood cannot distort to its own perverted ends are true stories like this one.
You can be quite sure they tried.
This is a good all American family who breaks under stress but ultimately pulls together to confront the horrors that haunt their teenage son/sibling who has terminal cancer. Everybody pitches it to the best of their ability.
All the forces of Hollywood’s lexicon are are unleashed against this poor family — demons, necromancy, death, defilement, and even alcoholism. The poor family’s faith in God is questioned, their faith in themselves, in medicine, and in mankind.
Hollywood does its level best to distort the events to the extreme, stretching our belief in the validity of the sick boy’s Mom, from whose point of view the story is seen.
It’s hard not to say this is all just way to extreme, way too unbelievable. But, this time, fine performances by the family members and a sympathetic preacher (who himself has terminal cancer at a very advanced stage) combine to win over any and all doubts.
Personally, I give this story more credence than even a haunting by some aggrieved spirits. I see the haunting as a message from God, the Supreme Story Teller, that Hollywood’s gruesome assault on family values is not unnoticed in Heaven above.
Evil may run rampant and unchecked in Hollywood studios and executive offices, but it’s demise will be the honest, hard working families of America who demand more than vile propaganda intent on brainwashing them with alien values, but good solid stories that reinforce our Christian morals and offer spiritual encouragement for all who strive to better themselves.
God pulled off a real winner this time.
I look forward to more of His awesome work.
