Ok that was a very cute short film! I had no idea what to expect as the blurb and picture give practically nothing away, which is awesome. Shot in black and white, very dialogue heavy (I LOVED the dialogue though, very fun and appropriate-sounding to the period), and a very well-done love letter to the old English Christmas ghost stories, the type that inspired Dickens's A Christmas Carol. The reveal was great, pretty darn creepy, as was the ending. I look forward to the next one!
Bro, what? The next episode better be better than the first one.
Artsy. Black and white. Low budget. Short on scares and effects. But still I liked it and look forward to the next episode.
Not bad. Has a low-budget feel, almost like a highschool production (I say this with no intention to slander it). Nice twist. Some of the acting could have been better and the lanterns that were clearly not flame but some sort of light, were a distraction.
A poor beginning. The script’s basic idea was fine, but every point made was far too on the nose. It could have used a lot more subtlety. Less dialogue, more atmosphere over all would be best, but I suppose the characters constant (weakly acted) jabbering did distract from the meager production values. And the brief use of color at the end was exceedingly corny. The proper BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas are considerably better value.
