You deserved it. This is very good.

[horrorgamer01]

a question from one filmmaker to another, how did you do the grainy effect? nice short, by the way :)

@Sugar000TONGUE

thank you for the kind words.

[jrlk0098]

This sort of just feels like the director was trying too hard to be avant garde and instead just made your usual mainstream "hip" random art film. I can honestly say I am disappointed. I expected more.

@jrlk0098

wow, what an acute film analysis. but i thought having my puppy in a bee costume was avant garde. your "critique" is as pretentious as what you claim this 2:40 long video about a trick r' treat character is. thanks for shattering my dreams to become the next pedro costa or apichatpong weerasethakul. i can't wait to see your non "hip" random art films so that i can learn from the best.

This wasn't the contest winner. Twisted Treats was.

[MEareCAT]

omfg. Utter rubbish. I'm sorry, but this is boring, psuedo-sophisticated crap

[4everLevy]

what is the music used during the end?

[syakora]

i kinda didnt really sorta kinda get it... whats the connection with the dentistry? the box? the splat after the door? so many questions... :( i wanna know you sam!

[snipergirl21]

It's very pretty, but I don't really get it. Sigh. Guess I'm the kind of viewer whom you'll have to slam in the meaning into my head like a sledgehammer.

[SaiyanGodX]

Absolutely excellent directing.

[alexaspecek]

sam is so...cute!

anyways...this video is kind of...the ring video, remember?

i hope my phone doesn't rings...

[ninjarockerinc]

i honestly dot get it

[coolgirl6678]

how did this have anything to do with sam.

[tillmanfilms]

this short is more of an interpretation of sam. it presupposes the idea of sam being a normal boy and ultimately transforming into the "sam" we all come to know. this is by all means not a literal translation or absolute backstory. that's for the director/writer to decide. thanks for the comment though!

[sasorithepuppet]

sam is so cute, and yet id like to know more about him.

[SuperSmitty12]

me to hes just so tiny im going to watch the movie again

[invadernik]

i wish in trick r treat they would develop sam more cuz i have a lot of questions about him

[tillmanfilms]

yeah, i agree. definitely a mysterious character for sure.

[AVDahl03]

I think thats what makes his little character creepy. Though I wish they gave a little more back story to his character as well. The less we know I guess it better. What I got out of Sam is that he is the protector of halloween traditions. Thats why he is there during every "traditional" halloween scene in the movie.

[goFLIKBOX]

Interesting film. I liked it.
