Too good to pass up. From the NYPress:
“Traditionally, Jack Chick Publications produce baseball-card-sized religious comic books. Who would have guessed they would make the feel-good movie of the year?
“Their DVD debut, The Light of the World, is a series of paintings strung together under voiceover narration, similar to a Ken Burns documentary. It’s a hodgepodge of Biblical and Chick comic book storylines, presented in lurid color and jarring voiceover. The movie is creepy and obviously aimed at elementary school children; imagine Mr. Rogers reading Slayer lyrics.
“The first chapter is a goofy retelling of Genesis. Adam is nondescript; Eve is an idealized 50s housewife, all round, rosy-cheeked and pleasantly vacant. Satan is a rainbow-colored snakeman who could work nights as a comic book villain. Eve gets Vampirella’s eyebrows after she eats the plum-tomato-like fruit of evil.”
And it just gets better from there.
