Something tells me that despite Chainer's best efforts he has not brought joy to this family of four.

If used in mono-Black with only creatures that have high Toughness or recursion, of which there are a bunch of cheap ones (Hunted Horror, Abyssal Persecutor, Bloodghast, and Reassembling Skeleton come to mind), it's a one-sided board wipe most of the time.
It's better in many cases than Damnation or Black Sun's Zenith because the former can't destroy Indestructible creatures, and the latter costs more mana for the same effect. These two also destroy or put permanent -1/-1 counters on your own creatures, respectively, so they will never be one-sided even with high Toughness creatures. If you're not fighting any Indestructible creatures, or your opponents mostly have creatures with either extremely high (5+) or extremely low (2-) Toughness, the other cards are better, though, so it just depends on your opponent.

I love this art. Every time I see it I hear that stock female scream in every 80's low budget horror/action movie.

Not quite. You can't ramp this effectively. If you do this T2 with a dark ritual you get the same result, any other turn and Black Sun's will do better. (albeit marginally.) Sun's can also use colorless lands, which may be present in monoblack, and it may receive. It's also adjustable to create 1-sided wipe.
All of these things say that in non-casual you should move to the Black Sun unless you want true boardwiping; via damnation or something

I wouldn't wish this horror on anyone, even Rosie O'Donnel.

I like art like this. The spell MUTILATES people; Wizards shouldn't try to sugarcoat it.
