The concept and plot were a 10/10, but the acting was a 1/10, their emotions were flat and non dramatic. With the right actors this could be amazing.

I thought the acting was ideal. The OTT histrionics, yelling and screaming and running around that are seen in most horror films are ludicrous. In real life when folks are confronted with inexplicable phenomena, they're not constantly jumping up and down and emitting shrieks of terror. They quietly, gradually get progressively more and more confused and disconcerted, precisely as happens in this film. Incidentally, the reason the concept is a 10/10 is because it originated with the all-time master of horror writing M.R. James, who used it in his marvelous short story The Mezzotint. It also appears in slightly altered form in his tale The Haunted Dolls' House.

As a filmmaker myself (7 years, about to shoot our first feature length horror next year) I am very VERY impressed with what you have done here. For a first school project this is honestly shot better than half the shorts (and some feature for that matter) than i have seen. Limited resources, probably little to no budget, you should be extremely proud of yourselves and best of luck for the future. Dont listen to what others are saying about the acting, thats not your job, your job is telling stories and working the dynamics & visuals of the film, which you did excellently. Bravo!

I didn't realize this was a student project, so that and your pinned comment answers a lot of my questions. I really liked the concept of the moving photograph and I would have liked to see that more incorporated into how the monster works, rather than just serve as a kind of warning. Also the monster girl is super creepy but she's also exactly Sadako from the Ring. Overall for a first film I think you guys did great and it sounds like if you had more time you could've ironed out a lot of the kinks. It's always good to see new filmmakers, so keep it up!

Everything else was good and I would like to know the lore with the painting and the story behind what’s happening and why. But yeah these two need acting lessons or we need a new car. A for effort though.

Gotta say this was really quite sad as they seemed an innocent couple to be haunted to death by this entity , as an opinion i still don't think it was her in the picture at first though it sure looks like her & he ends up in it as well perhaps cause he hung it on the wall. What a haunting little sad gem of a bad ghost bent on death to anyone unlucky enough to find that picture. They did nothing we know of as bad enough to deserve such a fate but evil spirits couldn't care less . I've done a lot of B&W infrared photography which is rather creepy in it's characteristics but nothing this bad ever happened by putting them up & i realize that's not an infrared picture but it does have those creepy undertones to it. Great job on this though i felt genuine sorrow for these two so your film did what it was supposed to do . This was a bit similar to an old Night Gallery story where Roddy McDowell kills his uncle but there's a painting on the wall that keeps changing & each time he gets rid of it it comes back . The ending is bad for him but he deserved it as these two did not. Sad but very well done .

The scenario is original and brilliant, and pretty well executed. There were a lot of problems with the acting (though forgivable for a school project, although the running/sauntering away from the monster was truly dreadful, I've gotta say ^^). The final act in the dark was pretty tense although the music was too loud and too suspenseful, which doesn't work for a panic scene.
