Yup! Stills are allowed.

I had an idea like this once, only it involved the TV left behind by the previous owners. Can't wait to see what you've done with this.

Welcome aboard the crazy train to awesome town.

 

[Matt Harris]

cool, i like creepy tv films, have you seen videodrome?

 

[kennethhurd]

Yep. Videodrome is excellent.

 

[MrFluffy]

Nicely done, the whole thing worked very well. The demon guy at the end could have done with better make up, but the whole thing worked for me.

Well done.

 

[EditPhish]

Well... I have to say I'm confused. I didn't follow the story and ended up not really knowing what was going on. I wish the shot at the end explained it, but I felt it didn't (other than yes, the reverend was evil and in control of the situation).

I felt the sound needed work. It didn't seem steady. The lack of soundtrack didn't bother me, but I do think a little more might have helped your film overall.

I did like the concept, and parts of it were so interesting (I liked when he was seeing his girlfriend being tormented via the tv screen)... it just didn't all come together for me as well as it could have. Keep at it though!
