I love this film. Everything is perfect. The music, the cinematography, the props, the acting. Perfectly combined for a wonderfully macabre masterpiece.
Pt.2 There is nothing short of a 3 movie deal, done by the right people, that could bring this great story (ED) to film, in the same way the game delivered it. Even then, we know how the story ends. As far as Mr. Daighters, I believe he would be a great addition to the script team, that would be needed for such a project.
Pt.1 I found it creative, but predictable. Not bad for a short film. In my attention to the small details, I definately expierence some of the Eternal Darkness feel. However, the game carried fear, horror, interactive insanity, 12 solid characters, the Ancients, in a H.P. Lovecraft style mystery.
I saw this film years ago, when Eternal Darkness was new. This film is by FAR the most amazing short film inspired by a video game I've ever seen. This film, by itself, is incredible. I've loved it since I first saw it. Well done, maestro.
Volume was really low, but meh, whatever. I wouldn't say it was scary, but I'll give it a 10 for creepiness. The whole puppet mechanism was pretty damn disturbing.
OK, so I kind of knew what the twsit was, but the apparatus attached to the back was genius, and kudos to whoever was in charge of the music. If I've learned anything from Candyman and Philip Glass, it's that mixing the groteseque with the beautiful often makes horror even more harrowing.
I liked it but I kind of realized exactly what was going on right when i saw him hugging her. AND i think it would have been more freaky by cutting the scene of right when she puts her head up, he makes a comment, OVER it would have been scarier that way the way they have itt its like "OH! oh... okay nothing to grand" :P i like the camera work
Cutting Room Floor had AWFUL acting. And it also had a predictable twist. At least this one is creepy like Eternal Darkness. The camera work is really well done; and that corpse machine was unexpected. I'm glad this one won.
i usually love stuff like this bit i found this really boring. it took to long to get to the twist with nothing interestin happening inbetween to keep me wanting to keep watchin plus couldnt really here it n acting wasnt very gud.
ya i also thought it was very boring and it took a while to realize the twist. i really don't understand how this won the eternal darkness contest. i mean what does it have to do with the game
This has been a favorite of mine for years! I first came across it back when Eternal Darkness first hit Gamecube and I did a web search for some info on it. I LOVE this short. BRILLIANT!!
Very subtle and effective short. Excellent sound design and high score on the "creepy factor". Watching it a second time you truly understand the presence of all those things in the workshop. Well done.
ok..i didnt like it.. well its not that i didnt like it, it was just to plain for me..anyways thats just my opinion...can someone shed some light on why that was so "great"...
When I saw it broadcast on IFC a few years ago, I'm almost sure they didn't show her face. Yikeys! It was creepy then; now I'm creeped out anew! Good job!

This was truly magnificent, but what has this film have to do with Eternal darkness for the gamecube?

What I'm thinking is that the short films had to do not with the overall plot of the game, but with the brittleness and loss of sanity altogether.

the other one wasn't as scary as it should have been, at least this one captured the raw insanity of the game.

@lillyclown I think the worst thing is that I can understand how people like this feel.
They're lonely individuals with no friends or anyone that cares about them.
It's really just one step towards looking down the chamber of a .45 and just wondering if you have what it takes to...pull that trigger.
I can sit for hours and wonder about it....sometimes I get close, sometimes these people get close to being cared about but we're all made to suffer.

It was a Short about going insane with a grimm side to it.
It wasn't about horror, or even fear. It was mainly about Insanity.
I think it is a great short. The Pacing, good production, camera work and modest yet decent acting.
It's not going to set the world on fire, but it's a good watch for some.
