The Fear of God

A run of horror where faith is the battleground: believers, doubters and zealots meet the devil, damnation and an afterlife that answers back, from Puritan farms and Roman convents to the catacombs under Paris.

It spans studio crowd-pleasers like the Conjuring films and Constantine through to festival-favourite slow burns and Martyrs' notorious extremity, so start with the haunted-house comforts and work up to the ones that leave real bruises.
