It didn't look amateurish, but it did look more like a TV show than a movie. Seems the guy had problems directing people. Their acting wasn't very realistic. And the camera movements didn't show me that this guy is any different than any other director out there. Nothing unique. Eh, it was okay for me.

Scared the shit out of me. The crow was nice timing at the end. So was the cracking into the dark world. Its unfortunate, I can't remember the story at all anymore. All I remember is King/Straub called Mc'Donald's the 'great tits of America.' That always stuck with me. Isnt that the kid from About a Boy? And yeah. He sucks at suspense.

I'd be interested to know how much this DEMO cost and the time it took Mathieu to shoot. Knowing that would determine how good this DEMO really is. Mathieu Ratthe should get a call.
