CINEMATOGRAPHY:

Great work. The feel, the look, the shots, all were very well done. The interrogation room had a nice cold feel to it, the campfire scene looked good, and the basement scenes, wow, dirty, gritty and just overall really creepy.

EDITING:

Again, great job here. Going between the interrogation room and the basement was all done extremely well. The timing and the pace of all of the cuts really flowed well. It felt very SAW like to me.

SOUND:

Very well done, good crisp audio. All of the noises were heard and understood. I didn't have any problem hearing the actors, or the background noises. Very high quality.

SCORE:

I have yet to be disappointed by the soundtrack in any of the films. Yours is another great example of fitting perfectly with the story. I think if I had closed my eyes and just listened to the audio, I'd be just as scared as I was watching it.

SCREENPLAY:

Not the most original idea, but you pulled it off very well, and with a style that was your own. I was definitely reminded of the short film that started SAW off watching this, but you gave it your own twist and put it in another place.

ACTING:

Overall, your actors did a great job. I have to give props to anyone that is willing to be tied up, dirtied up with blood or whatever and put in scary situations and pull off a good performance. I was a little disappointed with the interrogator however. For the most part he did a great job, but at other times it felt a little weak and unnatural.

Overall this was a great film. I was creeped out and even disturbed by some of the things. Just as SAW started off as a short film and became 3 feature length movies, I could see the same thing happening here. I could definitely see you adapting this into a longer length with more information behind the killer and the victims. Also, I loved the ending, I was definitely not expecting that. Great work here.

Looked great man! Loved it. Didn't like the ending and thought the interrogator would have been played better if he was more methodical from the beginning and lost his cool gradually as opposed to starting heated.

Great stuff man, you've got some talent.

He gets pretty methodical towards the middle...(or at least I thought) :)

This was pretty entertaining. Great makeup job. The girl being interogated looked so battered that I was fixated. The interrogator was a bit over the top but it was fun to watch him anyway and not too distracting.

Buffalo Samson himself was pretty scary. How'd you find the actor who played him? Friend?

Cool name too.

The sound in the interrogation room wasn't so clean. Sounded like an air conditioner. Wasn't too distracting, but it was noticeable.

The cinematography was good. I liked the colors, the makeup, the edits. Very modern style.

The torture scenes were well done. Felt like Saw as I'm sure you've heard.

As far as the story goes, I think it could have been a bit more clever. Maybe more Usual Suspects-like. The violence was unmotivated which is cool when dealing with a psychopathic murderer, but we've seen that so much already. It'd be cool if things tied together.

Also, why would the interrogator insist that he knows she "knows the ****ing name"? Does everyone who is attacked automatically know the name of the attacker? Seemed a bit contrived just to get to the last bit of dialogue making the last words "Buffalo".

The ending was confusing. I wish the girl actually summoned Buffalo Samson (which I initially thought) or somehow transformed into him.

Entertaining movie. Flesh out the scipt, extend it, add compelling character moments, and you have a winner.
 
Just finally getting the time to copy the notes I compiled in a Word doc while watching the shorts:

The sound was the best so far on this – GREAT work. Camera angles & editing flow was also quite good. Story/script was solid as well … only thing that just kept me from getting into it was the fact that the guy interviewing was an ass from the get go, and it just didn’t make sense that a woman who was so upset & beat up would be interrogated in such a fashion. At the end, unless this was on purpose because she really was in on it (still lost on that), she seemed to almost take an aggressive/offensive stance with the guy by getting back in his face with “I don’t know”, when she was so upset/crying just moments before. Otherwise an EXTREMELY high scorer – among the top.
 
Thanks alot!
The support we've gotten on this film has been amazing!
and your 2 comments definietly make it that much sweeter!

looking very forward to the winners.
Thanks again guys
