This is great. I love the contrast of the grim subject matter to what is a fairly upbeat, cheerful song; it adds this whimsical edge that makes it even more terrifying.

This was excellent! Beautiful and haunting, as it should be.

[crocodile]

Wow, this was gorgeous, I absolutely loved it!

[cupidsbow]

Gothic and gorgeous.

Thank you so much for an awesome gift!!

This was absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of exactly why I requested this film: because it is awesome. Like this vid!

I'm completely rubbish at giving proper feedback as I have
trouble expressing my squee ;) So I'll just say: loved the song, pace, editing. Pretty much loved it all - so good!

Ooh, nicely done. Those shots of the three girls walking/jumping to their deaths becomes extra-special creepy here, set as they are to the sweet/childlike music.

I love this vid! The way the ghost story told in the song has been matched up with that being told in the film is really fantastic. There's a beautiful melancholy to it, which is perfect for Arthur, and it also manages to keep the atmospheric creepiness of the source in tact. Excellent work ♥

Wow, this was beautiful <3

Creepy, atmospheric, like the song choice.

I love what you did with the shots of the three girls. I can't tell what's going on, not having seen the source, but the vid is still really creepy.

This song felt perfectly matched to the story. I loved the bittersweetness of the vid, like happy memories that are painful for being memories.

[skygiants]

This is really well done. The music that verges on being almost light serves as a perfect counterpoint to make the story that much eerier.

[jetpack_monkey]

That was a helluva ending. Sleep will not come easy this night.

[fan_eunice]

So. Creepy. I love, love, love the way this is cut and the way it plays off the music. <3 <3

Wow, this was very impressive. I don't know the source, but the vid was beautiful and wonderfully creepy. Nice work!
