Okay, this film is really really weird. The thumbnail is awesome, too bad the actual film has nothing to do with the thumbnail. I like artsy stuff along with the rest of 'em don't get me wrong - I hope that 'surreal' keeps submitting crazy stuff like this every week, along our themes, because as a gimmick it's a pretty rad one!

I give this film a D

Some of the shots are too dark to see anything.
Kinda appears like a hodgepodge of stuff. Which is the point I guess, I bet you had fun editing it. I think it should be faster cut with more shots or have some stuff layered over it, maybe make it filmed with more interesting or artistic shots. I understand that it's supposed to be artsy and abstract and experimental, but I don't think it's really a good representation of the style. It looks like it was just thrown together the night before the deadline.

What the heck was that voice? Is the screen supposed to be black for so long. I am kind of confused, here. When does the mad scientist guy come into the picture? Is that supposed to be him talking? I am sorry. I appreciate your effort, but i think the meaning of this video completely eluded me. Maybe if the music wasn't so loud so I could hear the dialogue. It sounds like a monster talking. haha. After I write my reviews, I am going to go back and read them to see if I can piece together what happened in this one.

I get that you were going for something "edgy" and dark...but I didn't get it. Must not be in the target audience. :) The music creeped me out though! I think you have a future in horror films. Keep up the good work.

Im sorry, I dont get it. I watched it a few times and the only logical explination i could have for it is that its chrismas, From the point of view of a dog or a drunk person. But then the music makes no sence. I think i completely missed what you were trying to get across with this.

I've watched this a couple times, I like that it's pretty creepy, and the music choice makes sense to me... :) anyway it kinda reminds me a little of the movie "Jimmy and Judy" which was kinda disturbing and pretty bad, but mostly distubing. lol. any reason there was no ending?
