Reviews for "The Crypt"

Aww man!

You should given it one more hour, cuz! It seemed like it wasn't even finished... The main guy was all-white, which I guess would pass for being a style thing. But it lacked a lot of sound effects, plus, shouldn't you have had some music at the the dancing part of the end? It was a great idea and the animation was good, but while you still got under 5,000 views and can still swap the .SWF, I suggest you tweak it. It's Daily 5 material past that. Peace.

Good, but could have been improved

It was good, but there were a few things I didn't like as a viewer..

#1 - "dead time" if you watch the clips that are REALLY good (tankmen 2 is the best example I can think of), they have literally NO dead time. Instead of showing the character first, then showing the "action" like 20 frames in, you could have done the action RIGHT AWAY. Watch how they do it -- the action starts on FRAME ONE of every camera switch (or extremely close to it). Your movie didn't have a lot of it, but things like this totally build up over the course of the movie. Think of it this way: you get MAXIMUM 0.5 seconds for every minute of the clip where the characters are not COMPLETELY IN ACTION. It might seem like a small thing but I'm writing so much about it for a reason. It makes the movie like 1000X more amusing if it's constantly in action.

#2 - the pop-up scary parts only work well when you build up tension first, and music can't be playing when they happen, otherwise they don't "scare" the viewer as much. Notice how in scary movies, when something is about to pop out of nowhere, the music stops, the camera angle is positioned really awkwardly to make the character seem extra vulnerable, then a few seconds in.... when you're anticipating it........ BAM!

#3 - ESPECIALLY in "pop up scary" kinds of movies, the audience has to SYMPATHIZE with the main character. This goes for all good movies. The main character must be someone the audience can "relate" to and even "want to be like" or "want to help" on a certain level... Someone whose world the audience would like to step into for whatever reason. It's the hallmark of masterpiece works. In scary movies, the audience has to sympathize because it feels like "they're" being attacked. In a romantic movie it feels like "they're" in love, etc, etc...

so yeah, get those things down and entertain me more =D

Screamers

Their were like screamers in a lot of places. You scared me :(

ok it could of been beter

it was going good until u thrown in the characters from Newgrounds and then it was pointless if u made it into a big fight sceent that would of been cool but u did not insterad u started playing a song frm michael jackson

Tomii responds:

Yeah I know, that would have been cool, but I didn't have enough time to make that kind of scene this time :/

??????

I dont get it. I think you could have put a little more thought into the movie. The caracters were deceintly made though.
