Some people say that pornography can (indirectly) lead to blindness but it can also apparently summon demons from the underworld…

In a new Christian horror film from Holy Moly Pictures, The Lock In, three teens are terrorized by a demon that pops up after they bring a pornographic magazine to an overnight church lock-in.

Shot in a style similar to The Blair Witch Project, producers Rich Praytor and Beverly Banks want the film to be used "as a tool for conversations about the dangers of pornography and the importance of being aware."

Despite its subject matter, the movie does not contain any graphic or pornographic images

"Movies have always been a good medium to highlight social issues. Pornography is a growing epidemic in the church community for men, women, and children with most of the underage victims being exposed in a place thought to be safe," the film’s producers said in a statement. “[The] demon is a metaphor for the true damage pornography can have in the lives of youth."

The flick will be distributed via online downloading and streaming starting Jan. 9, 2014.

"The producers of the film felt that it was important to tell a Christian story about real issues but to keep the images family friendly so anyone could be entertained without fear of exposure to questionable pictures," according to the statement.
