Jack Black’s new Christmas movie, “Dear Santa,” is taking on a dark twist this year as it focuses its attention on Satan.

As ChurchLeaders noted, the film is set to release on Paramount+ on Nov. 25, just ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. The movie’s storyline is about a young boy named Liam who accidentally writes his Christmas letter to Satan instead of Santa. After this happens, Satan, played by Jack Black, shows up to present the boy with three wishes, which upon granting them, he promises to take his soul.

The film, which is created by the same people who made “Dumb and Dumber,” attempts to make Satan appear light-hearted, and as if being bad is actually all just part of some fun, poking at the idea of Satan taking the boy’s soul and the devil’s ability to mess with people’s lives.

By depicting Satan as just another easy-going, movie trope of a character, Hollywood is lessening the danger of this very real enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy. By making the stealing of someone’s soul just a mere joke, they are taking away the seriousness of eternity. Eternity separated from God is far worse than any of us can imagine. It means being without all of the good things God is: light, life, love, goodness and so much more. It means being bound to restlessness, loneliness, fear and agony that never ends. Yet, Hollywood has decided that eternity is nothing more than something for mild entertainment.

As we’ve seen shows about Satan and witchcraft abound, targeted especially toward children, we must continue to be vigilant about the type of content we consume and allow our families to see. Messing with the demonic will lead to a dark and tumultuous path, one none of us were actually created for.
