Really cool intro shot! Love the simple audio track and the music. Oof, the audio really needs some work on his first line coming in - I\'d suggest to always shoot a close up with your actor saying their lines that you can plop in for even just the audio track alone - the shot is too far away to see if the mouth matches well or not. Good insert shot of the girl - looks like your camera might have been blocking some of the light though.

Ah, good, you did an audio insert on Joel\'s line. Excellent :)

I like the priest costume.

Really good use with the cutting to black and making it all in little vinettes. Reminds me of a classic tarentino flick in that way. GREAT tease shot of the werewolf face! I like the red light in the running shot - were those brakelights from a car?

Emily! Nooo! Great two shot with the guys and the gun. Damn I really wish the audio was better on some of this dialogue, keeping it from really rocking my face off.

Awesome location - did you shoot just the exteriors at the church and the rest in your garage or something?

I kind of like that your auto focus starts going erratic when the lights go off. Makes for a cool effect.

Oh snap! Werewolf!

Emily was set up!

Ooooh, shadows shot!! Dig it.

WONDERFUL! I give this a 9/10

Thought it was pretty good.

Felt it was a little too long, but thats always the trade off; director vs. Audience. Director always wants it a little longer.

Nice job!

Thanks Kurosawa. And I completely agree.

Thanks alot Justin. Yeah, the red glow were brake lights. Incredibly hard to do. We had to press on the brakes while driving but keepa constant speed. But I wanted the red so we kept trying.
