Reviews for "The Black Book"
Epic
Why has this got such a low score?
I really enjoyed this, good to see some actual animation and art on newgrounds rather than a tweened triangle. I'm not sure about the story, and the sound was a bit crackly with some dodgey transitions but over all its a very nice piece of work. Good stuff!
Ahhhhhh. . .
The artwork of the background was the best I've seen on a flash, to this day! The flow of the characters was nice but the weird things that happened when they moved was, like I said, weird (intentional, or unintentional?). The story was cool, having not read the story I think I was able to figure out what was going on. All in all this is excellent, a true gem of Newgrounds, a gem I hope will not be buried by it's low score.
Glad to see this got front paged
When I noticed you didn't get in the daily top 5 I was worried this submission would fall into obscurity and not get the praise it deserves. All of the art, animation, and sound were great, and the atmosphere was perfect. The beautiful background art really helped contribute to the overall grim and mysterious feel of the movie. The story was a little puzzling at first but after a second watch I got it.
He's warned not to take the book but does it anyways.
Get's lost in one of it's spells but continues going deeper.
Meets a monster guard/prisoner, who gives him a key to access something more.
His curiosity continues to get the best of him, and he goes to use the key to access a locked room.
Discovers a mysterious book in the room, opens it, and a bad spell is casted on him.
He's now doomed to being the new prisoner of the cave, and now we know the old 'monster' was really someone other person who, just like him, didn't heed the warnings the book.
I think that's right.
You beam with potential
You gave this story a great ending. It's true classic horror. The backgrounds were magnificent. I love the gothic look of them. You have talent and you should definitely continue with animation. If you got together with a voice actor you could create some really interesting flashes. Of course, I think part of what made this flash so good was the lack of sound effects and voices. By the way, RadWalrus helped to make sure this flash didn't get lost in the depth of NG. I'm glad he did.
