Bad even in 2000
While your friend's dream may have had some meaning, this surely had none. Also, I have a feeling your friend's been watching too many movies or he ate something bad before he went to bed.
Reviews for "Eater of Houses"
Huh?
It was a pretty lousy flash. The animation and sound was okay at best, the concept ws okay, but the graphics and the flow were terrible. For a 4-year old flash it was okay, but by today's standards it sucked.
Very old
This obviously slipped under the radar because it is so old. There is no way it would be near this high if not blammed now.
um...
While the premise is good, it looked like it was cut together in ten minutes. The background sound is pretty eerie, though.
What is going on here?
What an odd senario we have here. This flash is a technical disaster. The graphics are horrible and it's obvious little effort was put into this. There are no sound effects, although the music seems appropriate. But for some reason all the reviews which give this the score it deserves are voted down while reviews giving this a 10 are supported. (I'm talking about the "did you find this review helpful?" number.)

"It's apparent that none of the people that reviewed this can see the eerie semblance this movie has to hopeless situations that many dreams represent. He was right when he said that voices would detract from this movie, as it would have lessened the semblance dramatically.
To all you that gave this a bad review: Shut your uneducated assholes and don't judge a movie just because you're too damn stupid to see the meaning of it. If you don't understand metaphors, then go back to the dress up dolls where you belong."
Well, I SUPPOSE this flash has meaning, but I feel more effort could have been put into the flash presenting the meaning. By your reasoning, the author could have submitted a single flash frame with text on it explaining the plot, and you would've given it a 10 and pronounced all those who though otherwise "uneducated assholes". This flash is garbage and deserves a low score, regardless of "meaning".
Sorry for the long review.
