'Twilight'
Of The West – Films That Invite Demons
Wednesday’s release of "The Twilight
Saga: Eclipse" promises to be a
blockbuster success, if last week’s
premiere
in Los Angeles, where hundreds of fans
camped
out for days in advance order to get a
glimpse, is any indication. The
film’s
massive popularity comes as no
surprise to
Canadian novelist and author Michael
O’Brien, who analyzes the Twilight
series in
his latest book. O'Brien argues
convincingly that the vampire novel
series
dangerously twists evil into good and
may even
be demonically influenced. Commenting
today on
the film’s release, O’Brien told
LifeSiteNews, “Unprecedented cultural
phenomena such as the Twilight series,
Harry
Potter and Phillip Pullman’s Dark
Materials
series represent a sliding scale of
familiarity with evil. It is time for
the
people of the West to awaken to the
fact that
we are in the midst of a cultural
revolution
that is reshaping our understanding of
reality
itself in powerful ways. It succeeds
in this
by rewarding us with copious sensual
pleasures
stimulating the imagination in all the
wrong
directions.”
