I watched it.

The Good
You obviously have an eye for framing. The shot selections are solid and evocative, the editing is effective and your locations are really cool looking.

The attack on the bridge was handled very well - best part of the movie.

The Bad
There is no story. I'm sure you intended one, but it is not translating to the screen.

The masked characters act in conflicting manners - one kills/attacks from a distance while another hunts down and attacks in a hand-to-hand fashion.

The victims are scared of people in masks for no real reason, which plays as corny/goofy.

And last, the titles/credits are too nick-name heavy to be taken seriously.


All-in-all the film shows promise and I look forward to seeing the next one. And in the next one, I'd like to see a little more attention paid to the story - tells us why the bad things are happening and we'll be much more interested and frightened by the events.

Good job, keep it up.

My only comment would be that the fact the two attackers kill in different manners isn't really a flaw...

But thanks very much for watching. I really appreciate your review.

:)

I'll agree that there was some interesting camera work.....some good locations....but what the fuck was the story about?

Granted you only had 8 minutes......but it made no sense to the casual viewer.

There was a plot... but it got lost amidst a sea of hate, y'know?

Anyway, it's part of a larger story... so admittedly it doesn't make sense. In case I never post the latter episodes online; the Goat is a supernatural being - capable of killing through thought. He can then take on the identity of all those who he kills. So in the beginning he kills the bum and then assumes his form.

The Pig is a copycat killer, who has no supernatural powers.

There are more details but whatever, I can't be bothered to explain.

More people please watch and comment. Also watch other videos on my profile there if you have time.
