Horsenwelles's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CarrotSoup: Wife Fucker]

keep going

:((((

[Slender Snap]

the writing:

nameless guy wanders off to take pictures for no reason, takes 2 pictures. slender comes and kills him in what amounts to 2 sloppy jumpscares. i dont have a problem with the nameless guy, or the use of slender, but to really expect it to be scary or even slightly startling is beyond me.

the presentation:

slightly flawed shading encompasses a decent forest that is unnaturally well lit. the introduction shot makes no sense though because the campfire in addittion to the people sitting around it didn't matter and werent the focus. it really didn't make much sense to reveal that, nor did it make sense to use slender as a title. that takes away any build or tension to what the danger actually is. the slender animation was above average, as is most of the frame by frame, but its fairly cliche in facial expression, the coughing of blood, the use of shadows to lead into a jump cut, etc. the entire thing feels like you just wanted to throw slender somewhere without actually building to it.

the sound design:

top notch. even though its jumpscare poop sounds, the static was ok, and the music was well implemented. too bad it was good to a detriment because ti was genuinely tense and creepy while the flash was kind of small and cliche.

the verdict:

cliche, boring, jump scares along with a character who is introduced in an environment that makes no sense runs away from a thing and dies while pretty good music plays, and visually executed ok. its middle of the road and lacks anything that i would call part of a great flash, but has its audience i'm sure.

Alpha-Nuva responds:

You are correct; this is mostly for Slender fans. I was going to name the movie something more misleading, but that would hinder peoples' search for a Slenderman cartoon. Given the time constraints on this, I didn't really have the freedom to go all-out and create a New York Times review-worthy plot.

However, I figured that with what I had, I created a decent exposition. This kid is with his friends on a camping trip, but, due to his loner personality, spends most of his time by himself, using his camera to snap pics. Naturally, he wants to fill up his photo album, so he goes off and snaps a few shots. It's not the best of plots, but I think it's a serious misjudgment to say that it makes "no sense."

As for everything else, this was more of an opportunity for the three of us to flex our muscles. I wanted to practice with a different style; Scott and Piggemz wanted to construct a crisp and scary soundtrack.

['Arrow to the Knee']

LOL hey guyz (get it because "z" is not usually used as a replacement for the letter "s". thats the joke there) this video was so funny like when the guy screams and then tells a character not to do something but then the character does it. this movie was so well written i've never seen a flash anywhere near this flash's originalities (get it because i wrote "originalities" plural but in real life mushrooms dont do that) like how the one character yells loudly and the other character is dumb and then there's a violence oh boy its nothing like any flash i've ever seen except for the awesome videos, chris oniell's work, raving rabbids on nintendo wii, asdf, the arfenhouse flashes, and all the meme reaction faces on the internet so original and cool 11/10 5/5 favorite subscribe nobelprize hoola hoops and shut up and take my money (get it because in futurama, like, when fry eats a mushroom it makes him grow bigger but in real life mushrooms dont do that)

thank you for reading my 100% factual reaction to this amazing piece of original, well-written, completely focused and relevant content on the internet.

look everyone, it's dante, the man who claims he makes real art because he plays sad songs on done-to-death flat love stories! don't scare him, he might not make any more glorious deep art after this

[SNONIC TH MOVE]

remember when i said you were getting tired and stale? remember when i said you should try doing meaningful and quality work that actually is a benefit to your talents instead of a detriment? well... now you make this...

chris you should really, really either throw in the towel or make something new and your own. this wasn't satire, and this wasn't good or interesting parody. nothing here was any good, and i hate to say that. you are still on my favorite authors because i do think you can do something great. i see it in you.

Say What Wow

[Gay of Thrones]

the frontpage process:

1. animate characters close up with obnoxious faces that are as equally stupid and loud as the voice acting and writing.

2. have rape jokes, because you know, nobody has ever seen those before.

3. think gay is comedy gold in both concept and execution, because gays aren't people. they are a punchline.

4. despise subtlety and clever writing. only focus on doing things psychicpebble makes and lay fastened under the delusion that he's actually funny.
