Kinda hard to put into words, but seeing the credits made everything make sence, and it was confusing up until then. That moment of realizing what everything meant made the movie for me. James, your pretty damn good at what you do, man.
I said, in BASIC TERMS, that that's to the credits, I knew the one guy was Death. The guy in the suit. And since only the guy could see him, it meant his time was up. And that made everything make sence to me.
so if james was gonna die then why did he haunt his wife? And after reading what you just said then what was the flash back for? That made no sense to me after you said it
Well, he didn't haunt his wife. Because she couldn't see Death, he wasn't there for her. The husband and the wife just happened to be together in almost all the scenes. And... I don't remember the flash back now, I might have to watch this again. But it just seemed like he was being haunted by death to me.
Really liked everything but the ending - that was a big letdown. It was kind of like the last episode of the Sopranos. A big suspenseful build-up with no resolution. Other than that, a great job.
That was great, James. It took me until the very end with the tombstone to finally figure out what all of it meant, which is very compelling. Good work for a movie done in 48 hours.
Haha, get the requirements in the first minute and a half so you can do whatever the fuck you want with the other four and a half. No need for a deep story line for five minutes, fifteen maybe, but for five minutes, this is excellent.
nice. looks great for a 48 hour film. i get the inpresion that you didnt do that much of the directing on this one. some of the shots dont seem like your work. got me pretty scared though. i keep turning round expecting that guy to be there.....
ive got an idea for a horror. might of been done before butdout it. i think its up your street. Basicly its frankinstiens monster but made from other classic monster parts say.. a mummys leg werewolfs head vampires torso you get the idea. like the ultimate monster and it can only be stoped by killing off each part say.. silver bullet garlic and ..i dont know how you kill a mummy. it fits into the "glam-horror" genre i think you like with your deader the better film having that irony. just saying
You guys didn't catch the gravestone? The whole seeing death thing was a twist, he wasn't after the guy he was after the girl. She couldn't "see" death coming. I could make out Danielle Ayers on the gravestone, and one of the characters needed to be used was D.Ayers.
The ending just made me go crazy.. There probably wont be a sequal to this so i'll have to make up what happens. The camera work was awesome as well as excitment. Nothing really explained. But for 48 hours this was great. afterall there isnt enough time for a script.
Its good to see that cinemassacre is still alive and kicking, and its also good to see that AVGN will live on on YT.
I liked the movie, but would like to see a more recent one if it's possible, and perhaps a review of the movie "The Mist", since I know that you are a fan of giant monster movies, tho the movie was more suspence,drama than monsters, I did however enjoy the giant bugs and crazy ending.
Unfortunately, I doubt it. Trying to get caught up with the nerd videos. But I have a Rocky documentary showing at the Philadelphia film festival. Usually the winning 48 hour films would show there, so that takes its place for me.
Youtube really sucks when it comes to uploading videos. They always tend to screw up the video, mess with the audio and the screen, etc. And sometimes when it looks like you have uploaded a video, it turns out it never did get uploaded. What a shitload of fuck.
yeah, had to upload 3 times. First time, there was 10 seconds of black. 2nd time, cut the black off, but after re-uploading, the audio was delayed 10 seconds. third time, seems like the charm. what a pain in the ass
That was awesome!
