Reviews for "The Clown Downstairs"

Excellent!

This flash was dark and gritty, but enjoyable. It quite disturbing to see a bug enter an open wound on his foot and crawl the entire way up to his neck *shudder*

Anywho. This flash was wonderful and probably one of the best first Flash attempts I have ever seen.

Thanks!

This is really nice - and disturbing.

Such great imagination. A bug entering an open wound and going out on another one on the opposite side of the body. It's creepy, and it's brilliant. The sound is perfect and suits really well with the animation. I gave it a 9, one point short since I watched previous flashes before this and I just don't think this really puts it over the top. But very, very good work though. I look forward to seeing more of your works in the future.

JohnDavidHeptinstall responds:

Thanks for the words!

creepy....slightly

although more on disturbing...wasn't scary though but good work anyway!
and he's quite smart for a deranged clown..pretending to be asleep..or knocked out..to get the bug...nice

JohnDavidHeptinstall responds:

lol i never looked at it that way but yeah - thanks!

Gross-outs are not horror

I didn't really find any of this scary, which is obviously what you were going for. The animation was okay, but there really wasn't much of it, and the light dimming/brightening gets a little annoying. I could see what you were going for, but substance is much spookier than style.

Brilliant!

Absolutely Brilliant. Words can't cescribe how much of a genius you are! It was insanely creepy and absolutely gory but in a celver kind of way. It wasn't gore that's thrown in your face like an 80s Slasher film which has the advantage of the shock factor it was a gradual gore, one you didn't really see until the final minute of the short and its that that scares people the most. As i said before you're an absolute genius and the flash was a brilliant breath of fresh air considering the amount of flashes we see nowadays of second grade flash artists attempting comedy. Brilliant, Can't wait to see more!

Well thankyou very much, I really appreciate the words! - And yeah, I always preffer a slightly subtle edge than complete in your face gore, thanks again man!
