The terrorist group ISIS destroyed a bunch of priceless
ancient statues recently in Northern Iraq, and it made me think of those horror
movies where someone finds something inside an ancient statue, and it releases
an ancient evil that kills everyone, like The
Wishmaster, Hellboy, etc. And I
thought it might make for a nice horror movie to show a terrorist group like
ISIS destroying ancient statues when they release some ancient evil that kills
them all (in the same manner the terrorists destroyed the statues: freezing them into human statues with magic
and beating them to pieces with blunt force trauma) before
being inadvertently killed itself afterwards by an airstrike. And this way we’d
get to root for the monster.
And the ads could say: “A contemporary evil awakens an ancient
evil.”
