Thanks Zaid for throwing the website together. The will be more on the site, it's just basic and just the trailer for the mean time.

This is a much more balanced trailer that gives you abit more insight into what the film as actually about etc.

The official synopses:

Has a car crash turned a professional young man into a psychotic killer? Hunter suffers memory loss following an horrific car accident and has no recollection of what he does when he leaves the office each day. His colleagues are disappearing fast along with his sanity and it isn't long before the finger of suspicion is pointed firmly at him. How many more people will die in a bloodbath before Hunter comes to his senses or is he as much of a victim himself? Just who needs 'Protection'? Powerful forces are at play as the plot twists and turns in this gripping horror thriller.

Let me know what you think guys.

Many thanks.

Also if any mods know how to embed a youtube video could you replace the youtube link with the video. cheers

the only thing that I dislike about all this now that I look and think about it are the torture scenes when its a dark/endless room where there are being held. I really dont like that shot/aspect of the torture room. maybe its just because its the trailer, and im not getting the full effect.

also, the trailer seems to tell quite a bit of information about the movie, and unless its a very unpredictable ending, I would say 'this is going to be just like the rest of them'. and I would put off watching it until someone told me otherwise. but knowing the background of the film and how you produced all of this yourself, I will definitely watch this the second im available to.

keep in mind that im holding this to standards of a hollywood produced film, and I know that you didnt have quite the budget that those studios would produce. im really impressed by all the work you've done, and it is amazing to know that you did it with such a low budget.

alright, theres my constructive criticism for the day.

Fare play man I appreciate constructive criticism. Yeh I agree the fact that you cant see where they are being tortured is abit gay, but it's because I filmed it in a studio and couldnt afford to build a set etc, plus it kinda makes sense in the story.

And in terms of I gave alot away. I dont think I did, I think I gave enough away for people to want to watch it as they dnt know whats going on. But dont forget the story is crap anyway.

But yeh id be interested to know from you what you think happens in the film.

The trailer looks really tight and professional, and the film looks really good too
But experience is spelled wrong when it says 'an individual may experiance physical and cognitive changes. Might wanna check that ;)

Oh, well that just means that I should read up a bit more before rushing into saying things. Still looks like it's gonna be amazing though.

Distro companies loved the trailer at cvannes. So I have all their details obviously I send them the film when it's done and see what the best offer I get is. But they might not like the actual film so who knows.

25f (canons fake progressive) so basically yeh. 25p

and yeh I used magic bullet. but I shot it in a filmic way which is one of the main reasons it looks bit like film, plus its 2:35:1 aspect ratio.

There is no dubbing. Explain? You mean the sound mix? as there is some noise in the sound in places if you turn it up loud. DOnt really know why tbh. Dont think it's like that in the raw files, must be the compression affecting it.
