firstly, here are some things i saw WRONG with it.

-overly cliche eg "it was all a dream" twist.. god, this is SOOOO overused and you did not do it in any original or unique way.
-too visually dark - i had to strain my eyes in some parts to see what was going on, you need a little more light.
-i dont know, maybe it was just me, did some of the actions seem out of sync with the sound? eg the guy turned his head to look at the door again BEFORE we even hear the knocking...

now, these are what i thought you had spot on.

-the music was suitable and i genuinely felt a LITTLE tense and almost frightened in some parts due to it.
-you successfully created a tense/thriller mood.

my suggestions would be to work on the acting/actors; be a little more creative with lighting ie maintain the use of light for mood but keep in mind it can be a little bit of a strain; and next time try developing a plot that is a little less cliche and more original and unique.

Yes i admit i did give in to the "it was all a dream" ending, but it was my first film and they will get better hopefully i am writing a short horror script and will be filming that soon. And the darkness part is very obvious on the internet but i made this for a scolarship at art institute of vancouver where they require a short 5 min video/film and it looks perfect on DVD which i have sent it as. And ya all my friends said it created a tense mood and i'm very proud of myself as it is my first film and they will get better and better, i am very enthusiastic about making movies and want to be a director, also remember that i shot this movie myself as well as acting it myself.

DO NOT post multiple topics. This is the second time I've had to warn you. Careful, h4x0r, or I might have to go all l33t on you.
