Simple, but effective.  A good old fashioned spine tingler.  Well done, Krisa Samburgera.

Good stuff.

When you get a decent actor telling a story, it's always riveting.

They always say show don't tell, but telling can also work in the right circumstances, and it does so here.

I was really impressed with the opening myself. I never would have thought to have the girls telling scary stories while painting their nails. It really set the mood and changed the later dialogue for the better.

I speak Serbian. The acting wasn't bad. IMO the dialogue could have been better adapted to Serbian but it was okay.

I didn't like many of the shots used. Especially those in the beginning when the sitter was telling the story in the living room. That could have been shot a lot better. But it was fine. Story worked. Good effort.

Congrats Chris!

I really enjoyed the film. Pretty cool to see something you take the time to write turn into something you can view as well. Nicely done.

Congrats Sham

Liked the short. Very chilling. I liked the actresses. That tale the teen was a urban legend right?

Thank you all for watching!

Demento - Other than the establishing shot of the house, those opening shots definitely aren't memorable, but for a no budget film, I think they did a pretty good job overall. I personally liked the nail polish dripping onto the magazine juxtaposed against the telling of the story.

My. Ripley - Yes, the story the babysitter was telling is an old urban legend included by the director.

Thanks again guys!

I meant to comment on this earlier and forgot. Just like before when I found myself in the kitchen. I've still no idea what I went in there for. Maybe it'll come to me.

Moving on. Back to the film. Bloody fine effort on the whole. I think the foreign language element helped step up the tension.

The two actresses were pretty good too. I liked the idea of the end. But thought there was something slightly amiss with either the editiing or a few of the shot choices. Hey, I'm no Scorcese, so whadda I know? Just what I thought at the time.

Overall a fine effort. Good work.
