Great series so far
I have enjoyed all three episodes so far. I really like the artwork and style of these movies. You do a good job of telling the story without actually saying anything :) The part where we could only see what was in the beam of the flashlight was a great moment and I was preparing myself to get scared. I look forward to the continuation of the series.
FUCKING CHRIST

This video was submitted 07/20/2007, and here Iam writing this review on Friday, February 12th, 2010, it just shows how much I've stopped coming here. I've been busy lately, but here Iam, back on the saddle again, back into Newgrounds, managing to squeeze it into my schedule. Please, oh please don't stop this creepy, eerie, stomach churning, eye-popping, hair raising series. The sheer suspense you have just began to drop a taste on our tongues with in Part 3 just can't stop right there!
This series was birthed on Newgrounds on 10/01/06, 11/18/06 is when you released The Orphan Part 2, and finally, on 07/20/2007, you released The Orphan Part 3, with a huge taste of suspense and horror at the end of this episode, part 3, why just stop? The brief hiatus was understandable, and so you decided to trick or treat on Halloween of 2007, instead of work on Part 4, which is also understandable and totally ok. But two years, and 8 days shy of 7 months later, still no Orphan part 4? Did you guys need a hiatus with an additional 2 extra Halloweens, 3 Christmases, 3 Mardi Gras', and 2 Easters? Man, I'm estimating with that big of a hiatus Part 4 is going to be an explosion!!
Or, did you guys just stop? Cmon guys, don't give up, The Orphan was a master piece, if you guys have technical, software/hardware, programmer difficulties, well try your best to sort them out, because were waiting for Part 4! I'm not trying to be an ass whatsoever, I'm just dedicated to this illustrious beautiful Orphan series, with all that time passed you guys just can't keep us hanging, we need to see the final part, to rest in piece with this, give the ghost its grave!
Now for the review
The same spooky, unsettling atmosphere that I can't get enough of, horror is just beautiful to me, and Foolscap knows how to present horror, unforgiving atmosphere full of woods, fog, deadly night skies, treacherous spook head-chop forests, and an old abandoned small country house that has "killer backwood-redneck written all over it."
I don't think Drugal, so much anymore is a weird twisted creep, after seeing him get freaked by the corpses, and hacked up head he found in his house, hes just your average run of the mill, society reject, even more so, his family abandoning him. I don't even see why he would inquire a house so cheap now, after reacting normally to bodies. but I guess if I were in his situation, I'd do the same, and do side-jobs to make the rent ends meet for such a small place, if there weren't bodies there. Its not just the house, the whole small town seems abandoned, the gas/mini-mart is even gone, the pictures give evidence an old man lived in that little shack, possibly worked at the gas station, his picture is even in the house. At first I thought a creep owned that house, and tried to lure people to it with cheap prices, now I think a maniac killed the owner of the shack, and is luring more people to it with a cheap price, something is not right with that small town, and Drugal needs to leave. Gas station pictures show more evidence, miners lived there, and evidence some kind of ghost/aborition killed the people? Were not sure if its a ghost or psycho axe killer.
Graphics: The same great graphics engine, used to create Part 1 and 2, which I hope is also used for the finale, Part 4. These graphics/engine used in this series, in my opinion just makes a surreal in your face horror if used properly, and you guys always pay out with the use of the engine.
Style: The same great style, combined with the graphics, makes an eerie, creepy atmosphere, all of the shading and lighting, and dust effects were just right, simply gorgeous, and would make any lover of horror satisfied.
Sound: The music and little tunes fit the background perfectly, it gave an even more unsettling GET OUT OF HERE NOW feeling, and a sense of abandonment, with the surroundings, and gave the ultimate feeling of, something isn't right.
I get behind in projects too, I understand, but don't stop.
5/5
