"Could've improved"
date: October 29, 2005
The flash wasn't too bad, but it wasn't that great either. I was actually very impressed by the graphics at first. They were drawn quite flawlessly. But other aspects of the movie just didn't quite live up to the rest.
The graphics, as I mentioned before, were pretty fucking good. It had a clean, and crisp look to it. And I loved the cartoon style. Despite the cartoon feel, there was a bit of realism incorperated into the character design, and I felt that your animation is really your strong point. The style of the flash was good. Nothing gets me in the mood for candy more than a good Halloween flash, plus it makes newgrounds a lot more interesting to view seasonal stuff as opposed to the usual blood and gore.
The sound was very poor. I could hardly hear what the voice actors were saying half the time, and if I tried to turn up the volume, the scratchiness killed my ears. Most of the dialogue was very poorly written, and the acting didn't really have enough flair to make me believe it was something more than a mediocre flash movie as opposed to a satirical representation of the late teen lifestyle. The music fit well, and I felt that the sound effects were also pretty good. But that was probably the only good thing about the audio. Violence, on the other hand, was there. Although not plentiful, it was enough to appeal to my sadistic nature. But I couldn't help but feel that it was only including for the sole purpose of having violence in the film.
It was a good effort, and it really had it's ups and downs. The graphics were great, plus some of the humor was alright. But the sound was this flashes main weakness, and I felt that with a little more effort you probably could've made an improvement on the audio. Anyways, solid job. Just not executed extremely well.

Author's Response:
Wow, this is the first long serious review I've got. Thanks for that.
I know that the audio is a main problem, it's just hard to find good voice actors who have a good mic, and since I don't have enough money I can only use free soundprograms, so i'm limited when trying to make the quality sound better.
And the script yes, it was kinda quickly thrown together, and it had a lot of inside jokes, even I myself know that it isn't that great. I'll remember myself to add subtitles next time as well.
Thanks once more for your review
