14. The Binding Of Isaac - PrinceKaro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UvCYpmsfNE

This intro makes me really sad. If theres one thing that bothers me most of all in movies, TV shows, or whatever, its stories about a child being mistreated. But this is also an extremely well-written sequence with a distinctive visual style, which leaves me curious where the story is going. So although I wouldnt say I enjoyed this intro, it made me care about the main character enough that it deserves a high ranking.

I also appreciate the way this intro tackles the always controversial subject of religion, with a modern retelling of the Biblical story of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. As the intro shows, the mother will do literally anything she believes God wants her to, even going so far as trying to murder her own child because a voice told her to. Whether that voice is actually God or the woman is insane is never made clear, but the intro suggests the problem with blind faith taken to its extreme. And unfortunately for poor Isaac, theres not a ram in sight in this story.

Anyway, this is a really strong intro, even if it was unsettling.
