[neverending]

All three of these contestants have shown great skill & creativity throughout this contest. It has been an honor to critique your efforts, and the efforts of other contestants, particularly Roshiq.

That said, I have seen better work from each of these contestants at other times during the battle.

Though Baba Yaga was a favorite tale of mine as a child, I found Flayed's proposal lacking in focus. There were no characters for me to grab onto. There were plenty of striking images but the storyline was not well delineated and was hard for me to follow at times.

Bwind's offering was certainly commercial. The use of Chupacabra was not enough to raise it above the basic mendacity if the plot. I have seen it before. On the sci-fi channel. That said, your proposal was quite detailed and well told. I'm sure somebody somewhere would make this film.

Chrono, your story offers the most fleshed out characters, but they're not as original as I would expect from you- I see heavy doses of Old One-Eye here, and that episode of Three Extremes where they make dumplings out of babies. Was that by Park? The ending seems somewhat of a let-down as well. I'm not sure I believe he would kill himself.

This was an extremely tough challenge. If I seem harsh in my criticism, I say it must be so- the stakes are great here. We'll see how the judging goes...
