Nov 18, 2008 - This short film is well-made. First there is no verbal communication at all and convey the clear story which includes the plot and the detail of the characters. Second the sound tracks are powerful to convey the narrative. Very good, very different.

Nov 18, 2008 - great use of animation and lighting, not the ending you thought though is it, having your pucked out by "a monster of the night" or the sandman
