Gabriel McKee on sin and redemption in Cloverfield. The Revealer editors were reminded by a recent viewing of I Am Legend that horror and sci-fi movies are often the best religion journalism around -- documenting popular religious ideas, and fears, most of us lack the courage to express in more sober venues.

Then visit McKee's SF Gospel blog for further adventures in the religion of science fiction.
