Though Judge #3's verdict is still pending but sorry, I just like to share my appreciation on Chrono-Shimizu's Carnival of Souls.
As Judge #2 already mentioned, any true fan of the original naturally wouldn't like to bear the news of a modern remake of COS. But in the vein of a J-horror treatment from Takashi Shimuzi!!...really would be interesting to watch. Fascinating idea, Chrono! and also glad that how beautifully you plotted & developed it in a typical J-horror fashion. Particularly, I like to mention here some nice things of your COS remake treatment: 1) The little tribute or the way you gave nod to the original in the dark ride/haunted house. 2) The screeching of a metal door sound effects. 3) Mary's trance on the bus...specially when a 'man' drives a nail into his nose with a hammer...that's pretty sweet.:D 4) And finally the idea of adding Meiko Kaji in the cast. Overall, awesome stuff, Chronogrl! Now, that's a champion's entry. :) .......................................... Anyway, Now...about my Blind Terror remake...(:D) Oh, I was actually thought this is going to be a disaster but eventually came out with grades better than my expectation. So thanks to the judges for their kind & honest verdicts. Now like to clear some things that Judge#2 pointed out: Quote:

I get what you're saying and tend to agree with you, but I believe that a strong narrative is popular with American audiences - Think about how successful The Ring remake was. There's nothing wrong with keeping $$$$$ in mind when proposing a script. Fantastic - I don't have time off this week so I'll otherwise be in the office twiddling my thumbs... Should keep me busy (and look like I'm doing something productive to the other poor sods that will be in here with me. ;)). |

THE FIFTH TEST OF HDC IDOL II - ROUND 2 For this task, the common theme I have chosen is - SHORTS. Here is your task, contestants - Think of a suitable script/storyline for an effective horror short film of around 30 minutes (maximum). You may adapt a short horror story for your short film provided the length of your short film does not exceed 30 minutes in total. Contestants - Despare, Roshiq, Zombieness, The Return, The Villain and Chronogrl - better start thinking, because the clock has started ticking. I urge ALL of you to participate, so that we have some increased participation in this round. You may do any amount of research on your film short's topic, and on similar films. But remember, you cannot just copy an entire script/storyline from an existing horror film/short. Once you are finished, please PM your entry to me, or send it via email to [email protected]. Do NOT post your entry directly in this thread. You all have 120 hours at your disposal, starting from NOW! All the best!

Yeesh. Hopefully my writing anxiety doesn't take over. :o:(
I have an idea that I've been mulling over, but I'm not sure if it would fit better as a short film or a feature one. |

UPDATE AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT
The 120 hours given till the deadline will be up in the next 12 minutes, and I have received NO entries so far. Taking the fact into account that it was Thanksgiving weekend, the deadline stands extended by 48 hours. If I receive no entries within the extended deadline, HDC Idol II will be immediately closed citing reason as Lack Of Participation. Also, if I receive entries from ONLY either Chronogrl and/or Roshiq (yet again), HDC Idol II will be closed after the verdicts of the Judges are given, and crowning one/both of them as the Winner and/or First Runner-Up. Sorry, but I have no alternative left.
