10.29.2009 - 22:40 | Goatman2000yeah i gotta say this is pretty good.
-
10.30.2009 - 02:29 | kabuki456Yeah it was kinda cheesy but not bad... the part in the dark was creepy and would have been creepier if I didn't see the kid turn and duck out of the shot, but aside from minor gripes and knowing that you where probably doing the best with what technology you had at the time it was a pretty good short film.

when they say master-bedroom, I hear Masturbator lol

Benzaie, you have a dirty mind. You remind me of myself! Keep on being a pervert! it's a fun thing to do! =D
-
This video isn't scary at the least. In fact, it's a little sweet and heartwarming.
Either way, it's good. Bring on more, if you have them!

I agree, infact it would have been better if it had been made with that intent.

You made me jump a bit in a couple places, so you got me there.
Very nice, it's interesting to see you without your iconic glasses.

This could just be me being completly blind but I don't fully understand the ending. But then again that might be me not seeing something obviuos.
-
10.31.2009 - 11:25 | Grease DaddyOh thanks for telling me it makes more sense now
-
10.29.2009 - 23:03 | LookAtTheFloorNowGood Job! it was actually a little creepy. Of course, i'm probably just a baby :P

That wasn't bad at all, I liked it.

I say with this video's ending it's a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. ^_^
I really liked this video. I'd actually like to see a sequel! Then again, considering sequels....

I thoroughly enjoyed this. :D
-
10.29.2009 - 23:12 | 80BabyI also jumped in some places. I also think the ghost thanking you for the room in the end was cute.

I don't know if it's just me but I actually found the ending to be strangely sweet. You know, in a morbid kind of way.
Bring on more Flashbacks! :)
-
10.29.2009 - 23:27 | sputnik34i rather enjoyed this :D
-
10.29.2009 - 23:29 | fatnoo13:lol: i loved the note you put on the door.
that was funny.
it sure showed the ghost who was boss. xD

I will admit, you got a jump out of me. Not hard to do considering that even the thought of undead children, in all forms, royally creeps me out. The idea of writing an angry note to a ghost was funny. The ending was where it all came together nicely. Also enjoyed how you conveyed the story without much talking.
Overall: Really enjoyed it.
-
10.29.2009 - 23:32 | Singing Cheese"Dear ghost, stop it! This is not your room! Go away! and stop scaring me!!!"
xD wow, I've never seen anything like that in a scary movie.
-
10.29.2009 - 23:33 | RPGaholicHey, Jenny went into selling homes after her marriage to that other guy...
Seriously, the exposition was okay, if cliched. The exposition from Superman IV, now THAT was bad. I figured with the kid ghost that you'd eventually play with it, like comic book Casper played with people who found him, not like movie review Casper which deserved what he got, little f***er.
One last thing, does his thing against the "walls closing in" *cough*claustrophobia*cou gh* only affect how he feels about his bedroom? That hallway to the three rooms is pretty narrow...

i loe nostalgia of the nostalgia critic.
-
10.29.2009 - 23:35 | SocalHOMIEThis Had me pretty on edge at times. Probably more than some Hollywood horror movies! Cool music too.
-
10.29.2009 - 23:37 | SpazzMaster
Excellent!
-
10.29.2009 - 23:38 | theabsementbasementWell, it's better than "The Grudge" and "The Amityville Horror" remake.
Considering when it was made and what resources you had, it isn't all that bad.

Wow this is really well done Doug, it wasn't very scary but still it was really well done:D. (They way you deal with a ghost is some much better then the wimps in movies that just scream all through the movie) I love the bit when your fixing the lights and you turn around to see if you can see anything in the shaddows and you get a glimps of the kids face, that was a bit scary.

Kinda Twilight Zone-esque. I like it! Good move only showing the ghost kid in brief flashes. He's much creepier when you're not quite sure what he looks like.
-
Wow NC...that side-burned, meaty fellow sounds just like you. :whistle:
This was pretty well done...can't wait to see more..

It wasn't really scary, but the moments were fun and there was some thought on how to shoot the scenes. I liked the ending also. It was interesting how there was no epic climatic battle or how the ghost didn't want to leave and we had to sit through an explanation why.
So far I've been enjoying these Flashbacks, or at least they are quirky like Going West or whatever it was called.

Wow, this is pretty old. Not only was it recorded on tape, but you didn't have a beard or glasses!
But, it was really good! It didn't have much dialog but it didn't need it. The film let the dark tone and actions speak for it. I raise my pint of rum for a toast to that!

[color=green]This series is great to watch, because it's always fun to watch the developing stages of a filmaker in their early years. That's why I love watching "Bedhead" so much.
Though not terrifying, the music here definitely gave the film it's moments of shock. The suspense was nicely built up, setting the backstory did well for the plot, and the ending was both creepy and funny at the same time. Nice job Doug and Rob.
The only dominant problem that actually COULD have been fixed was the lighting. I know it's primitive video quality, but glares from windowns and dark shadowns are a constant problem in seeing what's going on in this series. Nothing that can be fixed NOW (obviously), just something that I'm glad is no longer an issue for TGWTG.
Nevertheless, congrats on doing so well at such an early stage. This video shows not just early talent, but the ability to adapt to several different styles from episode to episode. Your humility in showing us this work has definitely been well worth the payoff.[/color]

10.30.2009 - 00:12 | vid3oman64I gotta admit, this is pretty damn good, even outside of being a school assignment.
-
10.30.2009 - 00:19 | ^Kaminari^a really enjoyable episode! it had some creepy moments, but I liked the ending the most ^^
-
10.30.2009 - 00:20 | Solemn
I think it was frightening, in some spots, you definitely build great atmosphere :)
Also some humour; I loved that note on the door! And the ending was very sweet.
I think you did a fine job! You should think of remaking this as a sort of project, polish it up and whatnot. I mean, with newfangled technology these days...
5 stars! Two thumbs up! :D
