Very well shot! And good actors! Im confused though - was it that the girl was dead, or that the cigarettes didnt fully kill her?

[MsSmarty2010]

oh my god i thought der wud sm kind of possession,but such ending i never expected..uhhh.nice reminder

[99BA]

loved the ending scene!!

[jnazim]

that is some creepy shit

[ac1dman]

Quite neat indeed. I was expecting something a bit more ridiculous but it turned out having fairly decent production values and a nice ending.

Nicely filmed! Not over-the-top, as I had been half-expecting. As a fellow cinephile, I like those camera angles.

Of course, the house-set wasn't left in the best condition...phones didn't work afterward, a computer won't turn on, furniture left in the front yard, fake blood on the kitchen table, and a door left wide open. Next time, a better supervisor required!

great anticipatory mood

stelar lighting

camera and edit work are finesse

the perfect score Dizavin

I think a big part of the majik is the time constraint

Fanf'ntastic job

GOOD LUCK

p.s. the only thing missing was the wizened old broad

who would have made the young and pretty things look...well younger and prettier lol

[Askarigurl]

Great job guys for 48 hours...I can not wait for the morgue scene!

[dizavin]

so says the man who only has film school footage on his page.

[dizavin]

believe me... I understand. if I had a whole day to Score and Design this flick, as opposed to 2.5 hours in the early end of Sunday, it would have been mind-blowing.
