Aug 20, 2008 - They made us watch this over and over again at school 'cause we're studying horror films in English and now we have to write an essay comparing this film to another short film called Virus.

Aug 20, 2008 - Holy freaking birds on a bedstand...I've been tracking this one down for years. Saw it on TV when I was about 9, around Halloween, when my mom called me into watch about half-way through thinking it looked good. Sweet Jesus, I spent the next week sleeping under the covers in case the "bird man" came to get me. Total terrified wreck. I never knew what it was and was frankly a little scared to find out. Damn you, Sandman. Damn you and your little bastard chicks.

Aug 20, 2008 - Oh god lord. This scared the shite out of me when I was younger. To be honest, it still does.

MoobCakes Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - This isn't scary at all. We watched it at school and it's fine, some people just need to grow up!

MariusCreb Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Goodness. This is a beautifully animated film. I wouldn't call it scary, but it is rather suspenseful, and I can certainly see why some people are frightened by it.

wweebu Says:

BionicScythe Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I remember I saw it as a kid. It vas pretty disturbing.

magickmad Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - dis is horrible we watched it in english

QueenBoadicea Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I saw it as part of an animation festival. I was struck by its originality and daring. The original Germanic tale about the man in the moon stealing kid's eyes to feed his chicks with owls' beaks, brought to life by E.T.A. Hoffman, isn't one that's much known to modern audiences. It had been watered down for Victorians into a tale of a little fairy sprinkling dust into children's eyes to make them sleep. I had forgotten the utter disturbing chill of it. Thanks to YouTube for bringing it back.
