Horror from Real Life made into Short Film 22 Weeks

A true-life Christian horror movie about abortion. 


You'll pardon me if I check my usual humor on this one. 


22 Weeks is a 25 minute short film that tells the true story of a woman who went in for an abortion and ended up holding her living baby in her arms as it died.


The movie is available now on DVD, for the price of $10 + shipping.  The trailer looks pretty creepy, but I think that this film will fall more into the heartbreaking and disturbing than truly scary.  If it sticks to the facts and avoids becoming too politically preachy, it should be a powerful testamony that no matter what you think about abortion, the current environment in the United States must not be allowed to continue.

I also tracked down the World Net Daily article from April 2005 that the movie is based upon.  It contains what I suppose you could call spoilers, as well as some disturbing imagery of the real baby.

Relevant Interview with Ted Dekker & Ralph Winter

Relevant Magazine has an interview with House producer Ralph Winter and co-author Ted Dekker. The interview spends a good bit of time talking about how House is the "Christian R-rated horror film," certainly a unique distinction. However, Winter & Dekker bring up two interesting points. First, Winter talks about how they "backed into the marketing campaign a little late," specifically in regards to the R-rating. This seems like an odd thing to claim, considering that the film was delayed by over a year. I would think that in a 13-month period they could come up with some kind of marketing plan. The other bit that I found laughable was Dekker's assertion, prodded on by the interviewer, the he could see no reason besides a bias against faith that the MPAA would give the movie an R-rating. Seriously Ted? You're going to say that the MPAA gave a horror movie an R-rating because they hate Christians? The same MPAA that people such as Kevin Smith has to fight from giving a movie NC-17s for foul language? The same MPAA that has an entire movie about it that presents it as an overly moral set of conservative out-of-touch-with-the-youth busy-bodies?

The Best Christian Halloween Movie that Comes out a Week after Halloween

Someday I hope to understand why a Christian horror film was released the week after Halloween instead of, say, the week before?  When people were in the mood for a supernatural scary movie?  Anybody want to help me figure this one out?   House  finally comes out this week, directed by Robby Henson , who made the interesting The Visitation  and the awful Thr3e .  This time he combines The Visitation 's author Frank Peretti with Thr3e author Ted Dekkar.  What will that bring? Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts this week, I'll try and do better next week.  This weekend sees the long-delayed opening of Ted Dekkar & Frank Peretti's House .  Will it fulfil the promise of its genuinly creepy trailer?  How well will it do against the stiff competition of Madagascar 2 & Soul Men (the 2nd to last film that Bernie Mac ever made)?  I'll be back Monday with the box office figures.  Till then, you might want to read the only professional review of House , from CT Movies .  It looks like it wasn't screened for regular critics , which is almost always a bad sign.   Subscribe to the SuperCandid Podcast, the number 1 podcast for Christian movies Subscribe to the SuperCandid Blog Save This Page

House has a trailer!

There is finally a trailer out for House, the Frank Peretti/Ted Dekkar movie that has been delayed for over a year.  Apparently the filmmakers aren't happy with their R-rating , which means that a lot of youth groups and Christian Colleges not only won't see the movie, they'll condemn it was Satanic.  

Just kidding.

Not really.   I used to go to one of those youth groups.  But, I would guess that they will make an exception for this, just as everyone did for The Passion.  

As far as the trailer goes, I think it looks pretty good.  It defiantly has that Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe, with a bit of the "I'll force you to kill strangers" thing that has made Saw so popular.  It does seem to have some big effects moments, so we'll see if that was the reason for the delay.

Enjoy the trailer(oh, and for a bonus, compare it in scariness to the ad for The Happening that is currently playing in front of it):
