The Miracle Maker (2000)

The Miracle Maker (2000) is the creepiest movie about Jesus.  It is very well done claymation, which puts it far, far into the Uncanny Valley.  It also has 2D segments which look sort of cheap by comparison. There are a few scary moments, but it's otherwise appropriate for children.  The conflate Mary Magdalene and the possessed guy into one person, making her crazy instead of a prostitute.  Also, there are several segments featuring Tamar, the girl that Jesus brought back from the recently dead.  I feel like I've said everything I can about the story of Jesus at this point.  I could watch more movies about him, but I feel like I need to move on.
