OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I love how eerie and strange the song is, and it works so very well with the film. And your use of repeated images -- the sketch of the eye, the growing tornado, the couch on fire, the girls dancing -- is just gorgeous. This is such a wonderful look into Donnie's mind and you've captured the ominous darkness and weirdness of the movie so well. Thank you, thank you!

Oh, I'm so very glad that you liked it! It's such an atmospherically haunting movie, and I'm so glad I managed to capture some of that for you.

This is brilliant, I love your editing!

[cherry]

Thank you!

Between the source and the song and the way you brought them together, this is very effectively unsettling. Nicely done!

[cherry]

Thank you kindly!

[fairestcat]

Oh wow, that's spectacularly creepy and unsettling. I love your use of the repeated images to build that eerie tension.

[cherry]

Thank you ever so much.

Ooh, excellent. The music and the editing fit the tone of the movie perfectly without being a rehash, and it conveyed the general story really well. I love it.

[cherry]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Never seen the movie, but this was wonderfully spooky and weird and the editing was gorgeous.

[cherry]

It's a creepy, atmospherically haunting movie, and has what now seems a rather interesting cross section of actors! I'm so glad you liked the vid, despite lack of familiarity with the source.

[laurashapiro]

So creepy, so well done. Excellent song choice.

[cherry]

Thank you, hon.

[franzeska]

This creepy music is perfect.
