Lyrics
Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,

Won't you spare me over til another year



But what is this, that I cant see

with ice cold hands taking hold of me



When God is gone and the Devil takes hold,

who will have mercy on your soul



Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,



No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul



Oh, Death,

Well I am Death, none can excel,

I'll open the door to heaven or hell.



Oh, Death, оh Death,

my name is Death and the end ïs here...

Oh, this is so awesome! You captured the (extreme!) creepiness of the film so well.

[grammarwoman]

Holy crap that's creepy! *shivers* Gripping, and really unsettling - a great pairing with the music.

[were_duck]

Oh shit I haven't seen the movie but this is SO creepy, what a great song choice and what an effective vid.

[ghost_lingering]

Wow, this is creepy in the best of ways! Love how you used the book throughout.

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!

That was was perfect and creepy and beautiful and dark, just like the film. Your flow and clip sequence/juxtaposition/comparison is really evocative and interesting. Great use of hands and grabbing, especially.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

This is sol_se. I can't get to my computer at the moment.

[thirdblindmouse]

Whoa. Terrifying!

[livrelibre]

Super creepy and excellent song choice!

[anoel]

Super creepy and such perfect dark imagery and I loved the song for the source!

[elipie]

This is beautiful! So creepy and haunting, and a very effective song choice!

[bironic]

Eek!

[nicole_anell]

WELL THAT WAS UPSETTING. Brilliantly edited. I love the way you used the words and illustrations of the book, and all the parallels/juxtapositions of the clips flowed together really well. Great vid!

[brigdh]

Oh, wow, this is fantastic! The way you used the movie's imagery was so striking - I was especially moved by all the shots of open movies. And fantastic song choice! And your ending! Wow, so creepy. Really, really excellent vid.

[revolutionaryjo]

A wonderful combination of source and song! You really captured the feeling of the film.

[croissantkatie]

That was so eerie and creepy and the music worked so well with that.

[sol_se]

Back again! (This time logged in.)

I think I could rewatch this vid over & over and find new things each time. I love the attention to detail, and how you found interesting connections in movement or shape between seemingly disparate scenes. For example, 0:55, kicking on the back of the car seat --> kicking against the door.

YOU ARE AMAZING, VIDDER.

Aaaaaaaaah! Well, I won't be sleeping tonight.
