i don't like it
The idea is good but the animation is poop also it's too short.
Reviews for "Paranormal Creatures"
Detailed
I can tell that you thought alot about every aspect of this character and how his body would respond to the environment & the situation. You took into account that it was dark and illustrated dilated pupils. You were able to tell a story using body language alone, and I am highly impressed. He didn't need to say "This monster is so strong," or "What is this thing?" or say anything when he was at the ambulance. You made it possible to almost get inside your character's head. We could tell alot by his breathing patterns and facial expressions. Don't get me wrong I have seen many great flash artist, but few have been so incredibly professional at telling a story without saying a sing word.

An excellent review! This will help me a lot in my future movies.
I now realise that I could have easily voice-acted the character to speak his thoughts and had some sort of cheesy monologue at the end, but from the very start I knew that a silent protagonist would make more of an impact. Somehow it never occurred to me during the making of this movie, the idea just came to me naturally. Maybe I'm good with storytelling like this.
But wait, the character DOES speak in this movie: he kind of muttered "What was that?" :)
Stiff and a bit slow
The animations used were a bit stiff: a few emotions were also too bland to actually transfer the right setting. You did well for a first flash tho, so I hope you keep it up and keep on expanding your talent.
Early for Halloween 2009
I liked the atmospheric effects and I thought that you handled the torchlight and resulting shadows particularly well. The Chupacabra was convincingly vicious.
Excellent !

Man, this thing is really good. I like the beast and I like your animation pretty much. Please go on with your good work. I´m looking foward to see some more soon :D
