you should name your movie as the visitor not the visitng

I thought you did okay by making the vibe eerie. I think I know what the story is about but I think you could of explained a little more in the film to make audience understand.

Subscribe and watch one of my trailers of my first film

story was okay, acting alright, atmosphere quite creepy but overall it was too flashy with all the twitchy and flickering effects and editing

[MrNinjaMittens]

Great filming and lighting! A bit long, but brilliant!

ahahah dennis trilloXD

It had some moments but I found it boring 3 minutes into it. Techincally it's good with the visuals etc. but the frame flicker became a bit irritating after a while - think less is more sometimes. I felt the titles were too long too. Had good moments though so I'm not saying it was bad. Horror films are probably one of the hardest films to make I reckon.

a better surprise ending.

[TheBYWStation]

Fantasic "flicker-light" style, non-hollywood feel and paranormal sequences. It was suspensefully gripping with a touch of emotion. Acting ability was appropriate. But building suspense through carefully pacing never paid off to a huge terrifying scare. The end was also decent at best. Ghosts trespassing people's bodies isn't exactly new. But 7/10 for this short film.

With a basic plot, the conclusion ceased to satify my needs though as was expecting maybe

Good job!

It was excellent. I didn't like the ending that much. But the final scene saved it all, for me.

Great atmosphere and SFX.
