Okay, so the good things --- I like the music, I like the overlay, but I have no idea what it means. The font pf the timer should be the font of the rest of the graphics. (I see it is in the poster frame, but not in the video. Love the look for the monster bursting out as well, even though it's pretty obvious it's a flat unmoving image. May be better if it was some kind of animated creature that jumped out at him. Regardless, it still looks neat.

My main qualm with this is --- what the heck is the story? Is the world ending? Who are these monsters? Who is holding the camera? Why are they holding the camera? Something so we feel like there's a reason to care that we don't get eaten up. It's not impossible to do in 30 seconds - all the heavyweights did a great job of it. You have a lot of the technical aspects down, now you need to conquer the story aspects and you'll be a juggernaught!

I give this film a C+

Whoa, that was really creepy! What the heck was that guy that jumped out at the end? Cool idea for the timer. I thought this was pretty good.

You put a ton of work into this one, and I will admit it looks pretty slick, but I automatically shy away from these types of films. The whipping around "panic cam" shots made famous by Blair Witch, Cloverfield, and Paranormal Activity only induce nausea and headaches in this viewer. :(

the music is awsome, i kind of feel like you got the music and then made the movie and based it off the music. I could be wrong though. I liked the first monster that flashed, but you could have added more reason to why the person is running. I think you could make a very successfull short horror film with this technique. "blairwitch" esque. if I understood why the person was running I would see no problem in this being a heavyweight
