We turn our eyes away from the word of God in order to taste the sinful delights of the secular realm by watching HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH (1992). This almost-Christian movie warns us against the pursuit of pleasure by portraying sex, rock and roll, television, and art as gateways to the demonic. Pinhead is back, looking better than ever, and this time using direct references to biblical text...

This surprisingly reverent softcore porn with Christian themes presents three erotic, avant-garde vignettes based on Bible stories.

Mel Gibson's now notorious cinematic take on the biblical Passion sparked a national conversation in its day for its brutal, unflinching depiction of the torture and death of Jesus. Major studios wouldn't back the film, finding Gibson's directorial decisions risky, so Gibson funded it himself and paid off in a big way with a surprise box office smash. But how does THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST hold up...
