The Backwater Gospel

Bachelor film project 2011 from The Animation Workshop.

As long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. Until one day the grim promise fails and tension builds as the God fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die

The soundtrack has been released as a free EP, which can be found here: http://sonsofperdition.com/index.php?....

The burden of proof lies on those making the claim. Religious preachy folk don't say "I believe in God" they say "God IS Real, He EXISTS" presenting it as fact with no proof. Meanwhile we atheists say "We do not believe in any god, and there is no proof of the existence of one". Get your facts straight.

[Birdeye11]

Listening to the song that is played, nothing would happen to him. He would simply have left and lived. 'The Undertaker raises no hand but I'll fear him just the same. His presence FORETELLS blood and death.'. It was the peoples own madness that drove them and the dogma preached by the father that finally pushed them to kill themselves.

[IrresponsibleBrony]

"Submit to the lord."

When this guy uploaded this video, he was taking a walk down to flameville. Don't get me wrong, I love this thing. It's disturbing but has a nice message, but will you Christians and atheists please stop your fighting and enjoy?!

[TheJonnehXD]

What is the preacher saying at 1:40? O.o

[FeralSheWolf]

This is amazing.

another whiny atheist

The point is not if there is or there is not magic, cause we both know the answer... the question you should ask to your self is: "Why need i so badly magic to exist?" Answering to that question is the real deal... but you're not ready, considering how you react. Good luck.

[jasper joyes]

I watched this after I smoked weed and I shit out a brick. (not really)

[MrCerberusXIII]

yada yada yada is all i hear so good day and you belive what you wnt a world without magic and i'll belive there still is magic and we can go our seprte ways ^^

[Canu16]

If only your opinion matters to you, why answering? Why wasting your time talking (or writing) to others? Why even watching films or reading books? You say people are less gullible... doesn't seem to me. Perhaps you also believe in Santa, but that doesn't mean that he's real =). Everyone has the right to believe in what they want, but the only principle that matters to me is that your freedom ends where mine starts. By the way, let me know when you find a fairy =)... times are changed...
