That looks like Anna K. Probably not though. Did you take pictures and animate over them? I think the male character sounds a lot like Bill Paxton's character in the movie "Frailty." I thing the idea is interesting. The song is freaky. Really freaky. Nice graphics, I have to go and have nightmares right now... And yes, I stayed after the credits. :)

Yeah I actually did for some of the scenes. The main character is my 15-year-old niece. I also took photos of friends sword fighting to get the general outline for the characters and then I animated the arms, legs, blood and swords frame by frame. All the images in the movie are vectors though. I don't know how many hours I spent animating fire.
The Residents have a lot of creepy, disturbing music. If you ever get a chance watch their DVD called IckyFlix.
I really appreciate intelligent reviews.
Thanks for giving me one.
Very powerful
I like this because it creative and thought-provoking. I am constantly amazed by the fervor with which religious people protect their beliefs, especially those who believe in the bible. You are right, it is filled with horrific stories, and yet there are people who do their best to lead their lives by this crazy book! I see nothing wrong with having faith in a higher power, but justifying the sacrifice of one's own children is just one of many examples of how fucked up christianity is! (and other religions too..! :P)
Hi yewie,
Thanks. The Residents made a cd called Wormwood. Every song is about fucked up shit in the bible. Mostly weird stuff like Salome's psychotic obsessions with John the Baptist's severed head.
Yeah I agree it's not just x-tianity that is fucked up. All religion is total bullshit IMO.
A disturbing look at the bible
I have to say, i loved it, I personally think all belief in a higher power is dumb, but even without that entering into things it made me think that there are so many people glossing over the darker sides of christianity, my parents forced me into a catholic highschool, i can't wait to bring these verses up. Again, just great.
Thanks insertcoolname,
Yeah all religions do their best to cover-up the dark side of their myths. (All religion is myth.)
Just look at how many catholic child rapists were simply moved to another town rather than exposed. These asshole Catholics would rather allow more children to be raped than shine a dark light on their religion. Mormons are also classic examples at rewriting history and hiding their dark side. Mormons have no idea how many disgusting things are in their history. Their church hides anything untoward and keeps their little sheep in the dark. Ignorance is bliss. Case in point is how they paid millions to Mark Hoffman when he made fake documents that made the church look bad. Yeah religion is utter bullshit. There is no god and anyone who thinks there is a god is brainwashed beyond reason.
hmmm
i can say that i am not a such of a holy guy but it was good i hope my daddy do not do the same to me
Beautiful
This is my first introduction to The Residents, and of course it's no contest; it does do them a service though. The sentiments show a view of death rarely seen in today's media. Like sex, it can be scary the first time and even hurt, but there will always be those who will not die with tears in their eyes.
Thanks. If you check out more residents tunes be sure to seek the alternate version of wormwood. The one that's done by better musicians. I dig the residents songwriting and videos but as musicians they are lacking. The wormwood songs performed by studio musicians is awesome. Older residents, before snakefinger died, are really good as well. Snakefinger was skilled.
