 "Alfred J. Hemlock" 
  by Edward Lyons


It is unfortunate, that the first scene could have been a real life reference.
I can't sympathize with neither of those two. He definitely isn't a right person to be around
and absolutely not a material for a partner. I have no clue why she would strive so much
to keep him close, when he clearly is a abusive piece of a guy, who, well,
maybe would better go along by himself. She on the flip side is a perfect example of a girl,
who is too afraid to be alone, that she needs ANYONE to be with her.
People, don’t get in such a situation.




OF COURSE, her phone doesn’t work. Ah...Let’s move on. Scene established.
A frightful alley we see. "I hate my life. I wish I was dead” Boy… That sounds
like a pretty cliché line to me. Sister, I hope, the guy wasn't your only problem.
Shame on you, if you have to rely on assholes like that.
For the love of God!! I got really frightened. Props, for making this scene that scary!
Although, kind of a banality with the dummy falling onto the main character.
Still! Got me jump out of my skin. She runs away from the mystery and successfully
scary guy. But girl, WOULDN'T it be better to run away to the bus stop,
than back to where you where? What is that?! Making sure the film isn’t too short.
I have to say. I love the character. It gives me strong Jack Sparrow vibes,
but… It works anyways. I LOVE phantasy, great costumes and set design.
The appreciation arrow shot me right into my HEART. He knows her name?
Allllright. Cliche! Hang on. Does he await sad, depressed people,
that say the magic words "I wish I was dead” and then frightens them,
till their wish becomes true? Hmmm… Sounds, like a well spend Friday evening to me!
Okay… now she gets agressive. Remind me. Why did you want to be with such
a douchebag, who leaves you in front of a dark alley in the middle of the night?





Even, if it’s a easy way to establish his power, I do adore that the director let the guy
ride a three wheel bike and nonchalantly sing about misery. I'm sorry. I do try to stay
objective here. Although I adore the stylistic choices. 30 seconds of a artistic mashup.
Not gonna lie. It does suit and enhance the level of panic. What follows is a detailed

biography of the girl told by a crazy man. Because we all have to be on the same page.

RIGHT? ;) Ok, now I get it. Miserable life. Honestly, after watching that film,
everyone is going to have a tough time, going through a dark alley, frightened
not to encounter Jack Sparrow. I did not expect that! Some VFX to make his arm
longer like in the Looney Tunes. Here's some comedy time to get out of that dark scenery.
He killed her mom? How long is he doing that for? 
Hahaha. The guy was looking for her? I'm pretty sure, that wouldn't happen in real life.
Couldn't he find her right away? Where the heck was he looking for her,
when not in that alley he dropped her off 10 minutes ago? After being left behind,
he wishes to be dead. Isn’t that a bit far reached? Not really believable.
But it serves the story and keeps Sparrow busy. Alright, off you go!
Attempt to make a teenager suffer take two!

I wonder, how it would make as a theater performance.

Material for a feature? Not necessarily. I like that peace of cake AS IT IS.
Good job guys. Devine.
