    You walk outside with a knife in your hand, ready to confront the figure you saw standing outside on the sidewalk. WoW! Talk about bravery to do this. When you go outside, that figure is nowhere to be seen and go back inside. As soon as you enter and close the door, you see something disappear into the hallway. Remember it is dark outside and you go after it down the hallway, to see where it went. What? Are you insane? Are you taking bravery to another level? I wanted to scream and say "Go back outside and run to a neighbour's house and call for H-E-L-P❗❗".
    Sorry, when you do something so crazy like that, then the monster or ghost or witch or the thingamajig deserves to get you, my dear.
    Cute place, not too big or too small. Good job on making the thingamajig scary looking

    You could have strength it here and there. But all in all it was a good work. ...
    For the claustrophobic look here would the black bars (2.359:1) would fit.
    An obligatory shot of a clock on the wall or a klock on a shelf u pass by on ur way to the door.
    Footsteps and such. ...
    The scene in the kitchen and the following one in the living room on the couch looks like shot on another camera than sony fx 3. Or maybe ur adjustmens like ISO and such was incorrect - is that so?

  • @katherinehalling6630
    @katherinehalling6630 Před 2 lety +1

    Okay I cringed each time she opened the door, especially when she left it open and went out. I'm of the belief that if something's messing with the door, you never open it unless you actually see who's out there. Aside from the obvious "stranger danger", if a spirit messes with the door and you open it, it implies that you're inviting them in.
