Scary Jesus

The scary Jesus statue outside St. Martin's church in Basildon. I grew up terrified of this thing. Why is he just floating above the church doorway? Why is he impaled with multiple spikes like a human kerplunk? Why is one of his feet missing? It's horrible and so is the church building, just a big oblong box finished in dark, almost black, brickwork. Just horrible.
