    I know I'm going to sound like I'm probably saying much the same as a lot of these other comments, but f'in amazing. Everything about this film, from lighting, set, props, creature design, build up, overall tension, anxiety inducing moments, acting, mystery surrounding the story (I'm left with questions!) and sound design/music are absolutely on point. I loved every second of this and look forward to hopefully a full-length feature or some form of continuation! Bravo, applause, and one hell of a good job y'all.

    This is a really polished and Sleek short film I applaud you for that. I can't help but feel though that it could have been so much more substantial. Pacing was really tight, but in my opinion the first half could have gotten to the point a lot quicker. Overall really well done. I enjoyed it a lot. Please continue to make more stuff!!!

    Ok, sound, music, tone, theme, camera work, visuals, lighting, monster design, set dressing and acting were all… so perfect. Everything Just hit the nail right in the center of the head. Didn’t overstay, didn’t slog or rush. So perfect! The only thing I had trouble believing was how easily he accepted the predictions as truth, but this is short horror fiction! Totally acceptable premise that he had a deep gut feeling warring with his logical mind that this was somehow, impossibly, true. Absolutely loved it and I hope everyone involved is proud of an amazing creation!

      @@TruthSurge I see your point, but I think the Craftsmen simply did not want to leave a loose end like that. Regardless whether he ever actually *would* create another program, he absolutely *could.* The fact they didn't seem to know about the disk at first suggests their information isn't flawless, so they don't leave it up to chance.
