7. Alan Moore  (2004-09-19) Very atmospheric, clear filming, chilling music. Very enjoyable and you still had half an hour to spare!
8. Ben Trebilcook  (2004-09-21) A short, dark tale, with talent you should certainly take note of.

10. Colin Blakeston  (2004-09-19) Great film - Great clear shots that tell the story well. Wish i'd entered this year! Now if you'll excuse me i'm off to cancel a meeting arranged on the net :-/
11. Kaz Luckins  (2004-09-19) Well done... nice one!!! I was acting in another entry in Birmingham today... funnilly enough we got horror too!!!
12. Matthew Dixon (2004-09-21) Excellent horror short! with some great angles and a nice tight script!
13. Pat Higgins  (2004-09-21) Absolutely fantastic stuff.. Shockingly slick, as well.
14. Husam Asi  (2004-09-19) It's a pleasure to watch.
15. Allan (2004-09-20) Great stuff Brian and team! Fine use of score, terriffic locations, convincingly lit and so it goes on. The team put in a first class effort. Very well done.
16. Alan Breck (2004-09-20) Well done Tom. The film is good fun. Excellent performances from you and Gillian. You have mastered the look of the bemused man who is never quite in control of anyting.
17. Christopher Nicholson (2004-09-22) To get anything from script to screen in less than 24 hours is remarkable but this is really superb! WELL DONE TOM AND THE TEAM!
(Why is it you always act with such babes, Tom?)
18. Gillian MacGregor  (2004-09-22) I totally agree with Chris! Yeah, why is that Tom...?
19. Jill Cochrane (2004-09-20) Probably one of the best 23.5 hours you've spent to date ..
20. Tom Wontner  (2004-09-22) Lonely internet daters........., take heart.
21. Paul Emmanuel  (2004-09-22) Very scary. I will never sign up to internet dating again.
22. Alix Longman  (2004-09-23) Very well done. hope to see more from this talented combination.
23. Veronica Hempsey (2004-09-23) Sensational! Atmospheric. Superbly well 'executed' piece,(couldn't resist it). Loved the 'ages' line. Perfect casting. Very well filmed and directed. Good luck team.
24. Diane Knee (2004-09-23) Very impressed with the quality and the editing but not with the content !!! The writer obviously knows nothing about paganism or witchcraft and should perhaps have checked out www.paganfed.org - thought the acting was very good and the script well paced with some good moments. Not bad for 24 hours.
25. netta (2004-10-07) Great atmospheric stuff and done to a brilliant standard considering the short amount of time done! Fab ...
26. Sensate Media  (2005-04-08) My favourite of last year's 24 hour challenge, and a chance for Pagans and Witches not to take themselves so seriously (you know who you are). Who said fiction has to be accurate? Gillian makes a great witch (a compliment if you aren't sure) in a very economically shot piece.
Must go now and upload my dating profile, so I can bag myself a few victims... I mean, lonely hearts. B
27. Mike Busson  (2005-03-20) Very good. Music excellent - set the scene very well. Good performances from both Tom and Gill and the early exterior locations were well chosen. Mental note - never accept a drink from Gill !
28. Eddie Rex  (2006-02-18) Excellent film and very enjoyable to watch. Good work!
29. Gemma Deerfield  (2006-11-02) really enjoyed this. Yes a little sick but who wants fluffy bunnies all the time?
30. Wayne Joseph  (2007-03-19) Makes me think twice about internet dating!
I hope no woman takes my heart out!
31. Tom Richards  (2007-05-22) This is one of my all-time favourite shorts. Superb!
