Abstract

Recently horror film exhibition proceeds either inside or outside the country feared capable of expanding and undermine the faith of community. Data issued by FINAS shows throughout 2003 until today approximately 126 horror films have been screened across the country. Dumping genre film like this shows it's more accepted by the local community. However, this movie dumping feared could undermine the faith as a film may only serve to visually misleading or exaggerating minor things and belittle things. This mistaken view not only raise emotions but will give a wrong perception of religion. This article will discuss the findings of the literature review on the relationship between watching a horror movie with impairment of faith. Focus found that there are five elements that can cause a person to be influenced by the media age, level of education / low IQ level, the frequency of viewing time, traction by media and the low level of religious belief. These elements need to be tested for validity against the effects of the horror film genre.
