*note: The title and poster may be slightly misleading. It's more of a psychological thriller than a horror. I'd rate it pg-13. It has course language and scary scenes(hopefully scary), but it isn't gory.

[size=+1]A Little Info:
This was my first attempt at a feature film when I didn't really have a clue what I was doing and got in way over my head. Suffice to say we battled through a lot of adversity (that I'm sure most indie filmmakers can adhere to) and completed it - though I almost threw in the towel after our first weekend shoot.

Upon wrapping, the film took a long journey through post production... most notably was that I took on the role of editor without any knowledge of what the heck I was doing - and imported the footage wrong (didn't remove the pulldown for 24p advanced in Final Cut). It was only a couple years after I finished my first dismal version of the film that I realized my screw up. (I had blamed the glitch in the footage on the 16:9 adapter)

So, I decided to re-capture and re-cut the film in my spare time... and now I actually have a film I'm pretty proud of! All things considered with the lack of experience and a budget of $3,000 I think we tell a pretty decent story.

Thank you for checking out the film and I hope it's an enjoyable viewing! (and that you aren't all going to demand 76 minutes of your lives back from me). Please feel free to pass it on if you liked it.

Questions, comments and reviews are welcome - good and bad.

Edit: I should mention that aside from trying to solicit people into watching the fruits of my labors, the other reason I'm specifically sharing the movie here is because in the dog days of shooting and editing, dvxuser was here for me. After I bought the camera I had lots of technical questions. Then when I started shooting I has tons of filmmaking questions in general. This has been a great site for advice, answers, and a sense that you are never really alone - that there are others around the world that go through the exact same ups and downs in the filmmaking journey as you do. So as good or bad as this movie may be, dvxuser had a hand in making it from paper to completion. (thanks)

I'm hoping to get the odd review from movie review sites, so if I do I'll add them to this thread.

Wasn't bad..Didn't make it through though.

Some shots I liked, some I didn't. Audio was the biggest concern, but that's tough man..

It looked pretty plain/video-ey, which takes away the look for ME...That's just how I am though.

Some weird coloring in some scenes, didn't like that.

The acting on the other hand - ehh what can you do haha. It was ok I guess.

It's good that you made a feature, I bet you learned a lot doing this. Where did you cut it? Premiere? What was your budget mostly spent on?

Thanks for sharing,

Robbie

Hey, Scott, that was pretty good.

I don't like horror films but I watched all of it.

You came pretty close to pulling it off. It's a shame you didn't see how far you came to making a professional movie.

IMO, all the movie needs is an experienced horror film editor and you'll end up with something that will get you some money.

But I know how it is, you probably don't want to fool with it anymore.

Congratulations on making an interesting movie. Good luck.

Thanks Vic (know your name from other threads), I'm happy you liked it!

I'm very intrigued to hear your thoughts on how to make it a professional movie. If you ever have the time fire me a private message, I'd love to hear some outsider perspective on the film. (keeping spoilers outside of the thread).
