My short horror film

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hello again everyone! Gawd, I haven't been on here for ages, have I? But I've been putting my time away to good use, as I've just made a short psychological horror film (funded, so it doesn't look crap!), and I'm currently pimping it to the world cos it's all about hit counts these days.

Please have a look at the website and watch the trailer, and feel free to send it round to everyone you've ever known in the universe. Do it and I'll give you a free kiss! :kiss:

Looks good, though I think the trailer could have told a little more. Best of luck with the awards

It's just a teaser so it doesn't say much, only gives look and feel. Also, the film is only 13 minutes long, so if we put anything more in it'd probably give the whole plot away. But thanks for watching!

This could be something for you:

http://www.fantasyfilmfest.com/index_eng.html

It's Germany-wide and it's really popular. "Fantasy" is just the name, they feature thriller, horror, scifi, gore... Original Versions, so you won't need subtitles or anything.

i like the use of shades and lights to create atmosphere, have much time to see it in any film in such good way :)
ofc it is a trailer and can't say much without seen it all ;D
looks interesting to watch :D

This seems to be more a short teaser or a bit of a "viral marketing" PR to me - a trailer should introduce some more facts about the film (imho). After this clip I still don't have any idea what your film is about and I can't say that I'm feeling teased right now.

Of course this doesn't mean that I necessary don't like the final movie. I definetly like the sound design and camera work in these scenes - pretty atmospheric. A little tip for Youtube: Upload your clips in at least 720p resolution even if it's shot in standard definition - just try it and compare the results.

Edit:

Sorry, just saw that you've stated this to be a teaser in your second post :lol:

If you want to know more about the plot, there's a synopsis just below the video on the website and on YouTube. Here it is:

'A ghost story with a twist: Maura Jameson visits a country house to perform a structural survey for the new estate agent. Upon finding a man hanging by his necktie in the foyer she calls the police; during the fifteen-minute wait for their arrival, she experiences in nail-biting detail the events that led to the man’s death.'
