    Well, that's certainly one of the most creepy things I've seen in a while.

    I liked it, but they need a sequel to wrap it up.

    Really impressive. Very tight story with almost no dialog. One of the best shorts I've seen in a long time

    A tad predictable, but the video certainly does the job.

    Yeah. I was thinking it would go a different way in the end, so I was a little disappointed. almost anticlimactic.

    Good film, though.

    They're like the ghosts in Super Mario Bros.

    Yeah, that was pretty slick and very suspenseful. I wanted it to keep going. Kudos to the creators AND the actor (and whoever was posing the mannequins)

    I feel kind of.. guilty drinking a cup of coffee whilst watching this. o_o;

    Awesome short though, makes you sit there and think about it when its done.

    very cool. i didn't get the "over-caffienated" part. he seemed a little under-caffienated to me. i mean, my eyes don't drag after i consumer copious amounts of caffiene. oh well. awesome short. rdubbs: i agree. this needs a sequel to wrap it up.

    Am I the only one who thought about the Weeping Angels from the Doctor Who episode "Blink"?

    The Weeping Angels were "quantum locked", so that they turned into stone whenever anyone looked at them. Highly creepy episode.

    Very well put together.Kudos.

    ... Then again, maybe there aren't that many Doctor Who fans here.

    :-/

    Really cool short. I too, want to see a sequal to this one. Very surreal.

    Pudifoot, I thought of the Doctor Who episode Blink too. :)

    (Blink is scarier though.)

    Well done.

    I thought of a bad ice batch (odose) as he keeps swallowing from that red placcie thing.

    Regardless GROUSE!
