Bitten - short zombie film

[Zombi]

Yeah, maybe I should post this in the movie section, but tell me, does anyone go there?

so here it is. me and a friend made a short zombie film called Bitten.

you can see it here:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue4rO6dbWj8
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydwP4X0Rqrc

It's 15 minutes long and kinda art housey.

Oh, and there's more to come.

for those that can't be bothered with two links, here's the complete thing in one.

yeah... i'm still advertising here.

actually to be honest, I'd love to know what anyone here actually thinks of this film. We've gotten some good feedback from the zombie/horror community, but from non-film fanatics nothing...

I liked it, well done!

I like that it's b/w, creates a better effect I think, gets me thinking of the first "Night of the living dead".

Also really like the arm situation, almost makes it comical at first, but you can sort of understand the way he thinks.

Sound was a bit rough for my small computer speakers, music was fine, as was talking and noises from moving around, but some screams scratched a bit in my speakers, but then they're not that great and also old

Comment from a Swedish friend -

Mysig film men lite seg kanske, hade hoppas på lite mer action.


translating more or less into:

Cosy film, but perhaps a bit slow, had hoped for some more action.

 

[Zombi]

Wow thanks gnoff that's really appreciated.

Yeah, the screams clipped the mics a bit (shitty mics, our budget was about 5 quid for the whole thing) so it's not just your speakers, isn't much we can do about it.

As for your friend, yeah it's not really meant to have much action, but the next should have a bit more. Including, hopefully, tons of lovely gore

Sorry Zombi, but that thing was not my thing.

I cut it after 2 minutes.

(and if you know the last movie I saw was the 6th Sense....)

 

[Zombi]

Ha it's cool dude, thanks for being honest. It's obviously not for everyone's taste.

I'll have a look at it when I'm at home.

Comment from another firend:
--------
Jodå, helt ok. Lite väl artistisk för min smak men jag skulle gissa att det är enligt planen.

Fast råttan på slutet kändes lite meningslös i ett helt stängt rum.
Sedan i scenen vid ca 6:20 där han kämpar för att öppna handen, sedan i nästa scen när han ställer sig upp så är den halvöppen. Känns lite fel det med.

Annars så var känslan i hela filmen fin.

It's allright. A bit too artsy for me, but I guess that's according to plan.

The rat scene at the end feels a bit pointless in a sealed off rom.
Then in the scene at about 6:20 when he fights to open the hand, then in the next scene when he gets up it's half open. Feels a bit wrong.

Other than that the feeling of the film is nice.

Fair comment.

Ha. Honestly never noticed that before...

Riktigt obehaglig. Zombiefilmer har väl en tradition att vara lågbudget, men
samtidigt läskiga. Effektfullt med svartvitt.

Säkert nått för brorsans döttrar.....

Really creepy. Zombie movies have a tradition of low budget, but still scary. Nice effects with black and white.

Most likely something for my brothers daughters.

gnoff, I really can't thank you enough. Spreading the word, helping the cause. Awesomeness.

I'm guessing the last comment is he's worried you're gonna go killer on me
