"Tick Tock" by Headhunting Hobo Productions - Reviewed on December 27th, 2009

This was solid and totally engaging. I haven't seen a film on filmfights that really draws you in like this that I can recall off the top of my head, yah know, ever. You win my vote, but more importantly, my heart.

"Tick-Tock" by F.A.S.T.films - Reviewed on December 27th, 2009

You totally had me on board with the energy of the film from the get go. The films pacing, and really the punch line, for me got thrown off at the very last moments (the most important for this guy). You have all this energy, some good quick shots, etc etc, and then, it all sort of slows down. Their talking is still kind of fast, but after the energy of the running to the door and the counting down it seemed really weird. I think there could have been ways to show it was a mass suicide without having to have her say anything aside from "great we're too late" and then "BAM DEAD PEEEPS LOL!".

The lines afterwards "I still have the poison" etc etc, and them walking out I felt were unnecessary for the idea to really work. I dunno if you ever saw Nakedcastles stuff (back in the day) but what made those films work was just getting t the punch line and immediately cutting. I liked it though, just those last few seconds not being there I feel could have helped my enjoyment level.

I agree. The film was great up until the last moments for me. Perhaps the "5 seconds added" to the time limit for some sort of resolution is what caused this, but I think that it should have ended differently and perhaps more abruptly to add effect. All in all though, a solid entry

There was a lot of debate how to end it. All of our favorite versions were too long. I did consider ending it with him just dropping the poison after she said "we're too late". Actually, I really wanted to have her say "Great, now we missed the mother ship" and end it right there, but Mandi didn't like that idea. Haha. Thanks for the input, though, guys.

That mothership line is hilarious, you gotta go with your gut on these things man, assume your audience is going to get the joke you're trying to make, cause if they don't, fuck 'em. I think everyone feels a little inclined to assume the internet doesn't know wtf, but, especially with the film fights crowd, we do in fact know wtf.
