That film just gave me the fright of my life. . . and I havent even bloody watched it yet!! :eek:
I clicked the link and let the film buffer in a background tab whilst I was reading an article and I completely forgot about it. The first thing I knew was when I started hearing evil noises apparently from nowhere . . . that is a really creepy piece of sound design at the start of the film, Marc. I hope the rest of it measures up
---WATCHED IT NOW---
I don't get it. :confused:
I've got one word for you, Marc:
it-looked-great-but-I-have-no-idea-what-was-going-on.
I loved the look of the film - very crisp and sharp images it definitley looks v professional. I loved the lighting fading up behind the ghost girl when the TV came on, v spooky having her silhouette out of focus in the background, and having the nurse walk in and out of focus was a slick David Finsher-esque trick. The sound design was creepy especilly the distorted audio on the ghostly TV. The kid's laughter was
very unsettling.
Aside from a few niggly compostion issues that I had with certain shots (which would probably come down to personal preferences rather than poor technique) I just thought that too much was left unsaid. Maybe I'd get more out of a re-watch, but I dunno why she was sick, what happened to her kid, who was to blame, why the kid killed her, why she was freaked out by the sight of the kid whilst the kid seemed fairly easy going and pleased to see her.
Have you had many response so far? What's the overall consensus like so far?
Once again: looked great, just needed a bit more story upfront.
