I recommend Hearts and Armor if you can track it down because it's so terrible that it's fucking hilarious. We used to rewatch it and just make so much fun of it.
And yes, that is a beach ball with chicken feet. Not quite chicken feet I guess, but definitely some type of avian feet, and that's what the aliens looked like in this movie. Had my friend said, "Okay this is a terrible movie, so don't take it seriously, and it's full of silliness," I would've probably loved Dark Star more than I did. But being unprepared made me want to throw shit, like I always do after reading The Story of O.
It's definitely a lot of Christians who do that. They'll ask pagans how we can believe in more than one god when the evidence is that there's only one, and it's like...there's no evidence either way, fucknugget. It's all about trust and faith and feeling, and it's personal, and other than sharing with people of similar views who choose to, it's also private. That's one of the reasons why pastors/priests aren't *really* supposed to give marital advice, couple's counseling, any type of counseling unless they've got the appropriate medical/psychological degrees to back it up. They can offer spiritual advice but that's where it's supposed to stop unless they've got those counseling degrees/licenses. It doesn't mean they won't still try and take advantage of people they're supposed to be helping by pushing some religious agenda, but it does mean they can lose their whole career if they do.
I think all horror will have similar/same tropes, but it's how the storytelling utilizes them, pushes them, introduces and solves them, and even how they're subverted that makes the difference between something new and exciting and something that's been done to death. I think I found The Orphanage on one of the streaming channels, but it didn't seem to be the one you were referring to - but maybe it is. I couldn't tell - or it was mislabeled. I'll do more research, and if nothing else, I'll download it if there's a torrent available. That is something about Sinister that makes it interesting. There's no real way to get out of it. I mean, in the second one, the former deputy, the mom, and the other kid managed to untangle themselves from it and get away, but the dad and the actual evil twin died, but even then, if I remember correctly, the films still showed up in another house. So the demon or whatever he is really can't be defeated or killed.
Yay for watching it and liking it! I bet the first time(s) you tried to watch it, it might have felt like it was moving really slow because of the court scenes. There were moments like that for me at first, but the more I watched it, the more I enjoyed those scenes. I know that I enjoyed how compelling it was and it wasn't just a Catholic thing - I mean, Laura Linney's character isn't religious as I remember it, but she still experiences *something* and she's not expected to fall into the Catholic thought, and she makes allowances for that in her legal defense. I know it's supposed to be based off a true story, too, but it's been harder to track down real info on it.
I hadn't even heard that they were proposing to make a Sinister + Insidious crossover. That would be really weird and I'm not sure how they'd come up with that, but it could be interesting (or it could be horrible) - hopefully the writers/directors will make it good.
