    Really love the idea, cuz normally when people talk about ghosts and other paranormal stuff, it’s always about someone alone or in a small group, but a paranormal entity that affects an entire country? Like a ghost god that literally eats everyone in the country who opened their door? Unimaginable!

    To me, a short film that actually managed to scare me is extremely impressive. I normally go for psychological horror, and have seen a lot of creepy stuff- but this was so good. I’m shocked. Keep up the good work!

    this is impressive! i am addicted to watching horror shorts on youtube and, to be honest, i mostly just watch videos or channels that have tons and tons of views/likes. not anymore! you just proved that even if a video doesn’t have a thousands of likes or a channel doesn’t have millions of subs, that doesn’t reflect that quality of the content in any way. i can definitely see your channel getting huge!

    Constructive criticism: The internet search scene at the start was merely repeating what we already knew, and so felt pointless and dragged on for too long, for such a short film. The staircase scene on the other hand was extremely good at ramping up the tension, keeping us waiting for *something* to happen for several seconds was a very good thing. The biggest issue though is that there was no real way to empathize with the main character who appeared to be either suicidal or a Darwin Award contestant (and ultimately winner). I guess you didn't manage to find any actually good reason to make him leave his apartment, but at the very least it would have been more plausible if he'd heard the voice of someone he knew and cared about... Also the final monster reveal may have dragged on for too long to produce that much fear (there's a reason why jumpscares work better than extended shots of monsters). As soon as the lamp started flickering the plot became predictable and the ending known, and so there wasn't any (or much) tension left. All in all it had a few flaws but it still packed a nice punch and the 'broadcast emergency' premise was a very, very good idea, so just keep improving :)

    • @dentonfilms9370
      @dentonfilms9370  2 года назад +4

      I can’t thank you enough for your feedback. Really helpful criticism and after some reflection, I would agree with a lot of your points. Especially making it someone the character knows, would have made it easier to empathize with him. The internet search scene is definitely unnecessary and if I could I would go back and cut it out to be honest. The film was made with no script in one weekend, kind of just out of nowhere for fun so I didn’t plan it out like I usually try to for my projects and there’s bound to be flaws but they are flaws nonetheless. Again, I really appreciate the feedback, very helpful.

      Thank you! No, it wasn’t stock footage. We filmed the subject, back facing the camera and then colorized the skin grey in editing. For the eyes I just took a flashlight, pointed it at the camera, duplicated that shot and composited it over the creature.

    Pretty good, especially for something you put together in a weekend. I would agree with another commenter who said the final shot goes on a bit too long - when I saw the mottled gray skin of the Thing, I was like, "oh, fuck!" and I think it would've been more effective to go from that to the light flickering and dying, and then that's the end. But a decent short nonetheless.
