Reviews for The Dark Room

[Silk40dd]

Needed an scary ending

I found it deep, yet disturbing, but it lacked a strong ending. However, had you had someone jump out at the audience to get them such as the killer. A sudden jump out saying something like "Your Next" catching the viewer unprepared, would have made it excellent short clip.
It seems to me that the person, that is in the dark room hanging is one victim, and then the one with the knife is the second victim. The ending would indicate that the killer got the 3rd and was dragging him into the dark room. Thus, a story saying keep away from the dark? It was still very eye catching, with much promise!

An atmosphiric peice left to its own devices....

...Can be a little hard to comprehend for most people.
I know what you were going for in some respects. Something a lot of people are saying is that they don't get it. What we have to understand as an audience about the story is this: What we are seeing is what the eye piece of the "camera" is letting us see. This is all that we know to be true.

This approach is what a lot of people forget and that fear is what I believe you were going for. The unknown that breads an unease or unrest in people's minds. The art style gave me the feeling as if this was a short story from Silent Hill (this is a good thing in my book ~_^)

All in all, I am moved.
Thanks for sharing this and making the Halloween 08 collection a great deal deeper.

Appreciated the animation

I liked the imagery and mood you created. There was no purpose to your submission, however; it was neither scary nor funny. It lack any resemblance of a plot and the story dragged

I had my sound off. :)

Being that I get scared VERY easily I had my sound off, but this reminded me alot of this spooky game called, "The House". Where you solve the mystery of the dead family, then you die...I think you die atleast...but yeah. I don't need anythin' spookin' me tonight. Hah. Especially so close to halloween. :)

Good Job though. :)
