I thought it was pretty good for a 15 min film... It even startled me in a few spots. Check it out!

I really dug that. The atmosphere was incredible and gave me a Silent Hill vibe, which is always great.

There's a scene involving a student sitting that gave me chills.

i remember the scene your referring to did it not look a lot like the main character sitting there, it creeped me out even more when the teacher was standing over the sitting student.

he kept starring at the student sitting there like he recognized him or i dunno... but it almost had a standing in the corner feel like Blaire witch project lol.

Since it was a student film (I think?) they had to use what they could and they did it well, hence having a lot of darkness. But they really did a great job and I'm looking forward to their next project.

The visuals were great. The way they interchanged grainy footage with surreal footage with "normal" footage was really affective.

Oh. I thought when you said there was a full movie that it was over an hour long. I guess I will still get it. I will be able to watch it now. With out taking up too much of my time.
