There goes my chances of winning 
.
I loved this you deserver to win I had doubts that a brickfilm could be scary but you proved me wrong. I love this so much I can right a Proper review. This is amazing you have just reached a film makers ultimate goal entertaining someone with something they will never forget. I Love This!!
I liked it a lot. The close-ups of the painting were brilliant, and that last scream got my heart to skip a beat. Nice job Max, loved it. Overall, there were a little technical issues, but still a solid horror film. 
4.5/5
Amazing entry. It was a good motivating SCARY film. WELL DONE!
The only thing that I really hated was that youtube would stop the movie right in the middle of the action, even though it was almost completely loaded. For the rest, it was great, now it makes me want to go and try to finish my entry on time (that would be quite difficult, though). And I really liked the story. One fact that I really liked, although it may not have been your intention,
was that the two minifigs at the beginning were almost identical, except for the torso. That lead me to think that he might be crazy and talking with himself, creating a fake identity to (somehow) forget what happened (the fact that you voiced both may have helped).
Great movie, I think that more than scare me it made me think about why would he do what I said in the spoiler. 5/5
Yeah, YouTube's been doing that a lot with me too.
And, yes, the identical figures/voices were intentional. I left it open to various interpretations (like the rest of the short), although I did have exactly what you said in mind at one point.
As far as a film goes with lego it's probably one of the closest things to horror I've seen. I still didn't jump but making something with horror must be quite hard, I think that you did a great job! I liked it, well done! 4/5
Quite freaky. Even though the scream head was, a tad funny looking, you still did a good job of making me jump. Technical flaws aside, I'd say you did a very good job and made a fairly scary film.
This a very refreshing change of pace from you, Max. It was creepy, scary, and serious. I'm not at all used to seeing this from you, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Great job on this! I can't wait to see how this'll place.
I'm not much of a horror person, but I absolutely loved this. sure, the animation could use a little work, but the whole screamer heads thing made me damn scared. I also liked the whole thing of the two people being almost identical and the end was heart-stopping. 
That was awesome.

Sounds like Thre3
@MPfist0 -
that's what I was thinking when I first saw that they had the same head piece.
That's got to be one of, if not the best horror brickfilm in existence. I loved it, there's nothing more to add to that.
Great job... You're now one of my favorite brickfilmers.
