Comments

1. Michelle Shakespeare (2004-11-22) Very good. Atmospheric and spooky and achieved a lot in a very small ammount of time. Story could have been tighter i.e. didn't get how necklace got into fuse box and also guy said that he saw fuse box on the way in and yet it was all the way in the basement. However these little things don't detract from overall enjoyment.
2. johnnie oddball  (2004-01-31) Wonderful idea very dark ,Great acting ,Good to see it on Uk screen ,Hope to see it in loads of film festivals & all this in just 48hrs Amazing !!
3. David Stubbins (2005-01-17) I liked it. Some really nice stuff. Well done Brian!
4. Alan Doney  (2003-10-12) Great short, Well done all involved
5. Tom Wontner  (2005-04-25) Great stuff, in just 48 hours, really excellent. Real suspense as well. Hope it does well.
6. Colin Blakeston  (2003-08-19) Nice movie. I like the hand held shots when he's running near the end and the music works really well too, gave me chills!
7. Neil Leacy (2003-08-20) Nice and atmospheric. Well done.
8. Goran Radich (2003-08-22) I love the way the music supports the mother-daughter relationship (do listen on speakers with strong bass). Clever script for such a short movie.
9. Owen Black (2003-08-24) Film-noir, failed use of lighting to set the scene. Mise-en-scene was lacking. Well acted by V Hempsey who wasn't lacking in talent or beauty.
10. Robert Williamson  (2005-01-29) Great wee piece; love the twist. I wouldn't huv stood on the wall!
11. Sensate Media  (2005-04-08) Creepy. Good naturalistic performances, especially the mother. Little confused by the boy suddenly recognising the knecklace when he didn't to begin with. Great for 48hrs.
12. foddy (2004-12-13) reminds me of the time i was taken prisoner in vietnam and had to marry the over weight commanding officer. he was a brute but we raised six lovely kids. ROCK ON!
13. Gemma Deerfield  (2006-11-02) I Agree with Michelle. Some things didn't make sense but what an achievement for 48hrs work. Really liked the premise. some camera angles were really impressive.
14. Eddie Rex  (2006-08-06) Bit of a tentative start i thought, however the last scene was very convincing. Good work, especially for 48 hours!
