Closure - Short Suspense/Horror Film - 2011

This is my final project submission for my Digital Sight, Sound, and Motion class. We were given two weeks to the day to write, shoot, direct, and edit a short film. I also wrote and recorded three original songs and mixed all the audio to 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround. The plot is as follows:

"Tensions run high as the fate of an innocent couple rests in the psychological depths of an unstable mind. Witness the creation and demise of a monster."

Special thanks to everyone who helped me out!

Great short , but at 3:21 you can see the dead guy blinking , but besides tht great

[Hawkbe]

@MaglioProductions I appreciate your attention to detail but there are no dead people at 3:21 and I'm certain when the male character is shown dead with his eyes open, he doesn't blink. Trust me, I made quite sure in post. Thanks though.

Great film but I dint quite get it. Is the strangler an ex boyfriend?

[Hawkbe]

@Sirduncan10 It's more open to interpretation. If you look at the clues given within the film, you may find out more definitively.

@Hawkbe i don't know what it is but at 3:21 the guy laying on the floor next to the guy in the chair, something moves on his face. What is that then?

i think i got it.. and i enjoyed it. nicely done

[Sphintrrix]

I think this is a love triangle or something like that. Nice film, although I'm particular with emphasized parts which leads the viewer to what the director and the writer wants to convey. I'm not good at making video, but I love short vids, because it's so amazing how the creators [in general] comperes an entire situation in just a few minutes. And In my point of view, you did well with this one.

er...I don't wanna come across rude or anything but...um...what the fuck was that all about?

[Justinian43]

okay the shots were great, i felt a suspense but no idea why i felt suspense, the shots built suspense but the story is too complicated, who killed them? Was there two guys or one?
