Voodoo Island

This short has a lot of awesome moments in it but most of those moments are great because of the context of the source, honestly. As a short, the narrative threads just aren't there. Who jumped out and bit the doctor? Who was the body who bit the other guy?
A/V Quality: 9 - Good, no issues.
Visual Editing: 7 - There was a noticeable jump cut shortly before the eyeball part and a frame jitter when the zombies come up to the doc's building.
Audio Editing: 9 - Really solid.
Narrative: 7 - Not enough comes through in the short, in my opinion.
Enjoyment: 7 - Cool, quick way to revisit original but not ideal as standalone.

Totally unfair first rating. Sorry Boon! This didn't do it for me, but works as a narrative, which is hard in a short story. The long cut to the lonely home and the attacked wife is what doesn't sit right with the story, though the scene itself is scary as hell.

The narrative is choppy and does not get to the point soon enough, but some iconic moments from the original are preserved here nonetheless. An interesting watch and a decent 'trailer' for the film for those who havent seen it

Well edited but very slow.
