12. Possession movies are obviously borrowing from the Bible.

Jesus was an exorcist, and many Christians believe in literal demonic possession. I get and accept that when I watch possession movies. The Evil Dead movies may be considered an exception.

I have no idea why so many slasher movies shove these values down our throats. I find it obnoxious, and I often avoid the genre because this. New York Ripper is an exception, but many people found it to be pretty offensive. I have a large box of horror movies, and that may be the only slasher flick in the mix.
