  i have no idea what is going on here. maybe that is because it is "part 2" of a series or maybe it is because i could not read the subtitles (white on white)...but for what ever reason...i did not "get" what the story was about. that being said, the look of this film was very inconsistant. some of the shots looked great while others ....looked no so great.

  that being said, the look of this film was very inconsistant. some of the shots looked great while others ....looked no so great. (i.e. - the opening looked fantastic and then they got to the car and it was daytime...and boring to look at)
  
  also, the action sequence was done poorly. whether this can be blamed on your actors (the tough guy was horrible) or direction/editing (when she "throws" him) im not sure...but i didn't believe it for a minute.
  
  the close up of the smiling face was also a strange cut. who was smiling and why?
  
  good luck with future projects. read

  There seems to be more and more of these series types films appearing on Triggerstreet and this is generally nicely done and a step above the average. In many ways it had good production qualities.

  Lady X...more like X-Files
  A review of Deadly Reliquary (The visions of Katharina - part 2): Lady X episode 9

  Hmmm.... I wonder where the inspiration for this film came from?? It's decent, aside from the corney acting, and subtitling.....(Ahhh....foreign films hardly ever sit well with me!) However, the director does a fair job of telling the story. I would have liked to seen more as far as back story, it's hard to get interested in a film such as this when you really don't have... Hmmm.... I wonder where the inspiration for this film came from?? It's decent, aside from the corney acting, and subtitling.....(Ahhh....foreign films hardly ever sit well with me!) However, the director does a fair job of telling the story. I would have liked to seen more as far as back story, it's hard to get interested in a film such as this when you really don't have any connection to any of the characters... What was with that scene where the dude kisses the girl...that was very cheesey... i think if you were to continue on with this story, you should work on bringing in some better actors, and also beef up the script a bit.... it was boring and there was nothing likable about any of the character development..... read

  Acting, camera work, framing is good but weak story and characters
  A review of Deadly Reliquary (The visions of Katharina - part 2): Lady X episode 9

  The framing of shots was done fine except for some shots. For example: towards the end of the film, when we see the teeth of the person the lady agent is talking to. I am not sure what is the meaning of that smile. And then that agent disappears. Also not sure why that other person disappears. So some parts of the story are not clear. There's not enough scenes or time to... The framing of shots was done fine except for some shots.

  There's not enough scenes or time to develop the connection between the agent and Katharina so in the end when he kisses her on the forehead, its hard to feel any emotions between them.
  Some scenes feel fake like when Katharina throws the bad guy with her hands.
  The acting of the actors is good.
  But being a first movie, its a good start.
  My advise for next film from Suntje is to find/write a better story suited to the duration(whether its a short or a long film) always focusing on character development. This story is very typical having agents in black suits and a girl with vision and so on but once again, its a good start as far as the film making technique is concerned. The shooting, framing, acting was fine. Story is critical for being recognized and entertaining the audience. Will wait for your next film.
  Tschuess. read

  A Very Long-Titled Review For A Very Very Long-Long-Titled Short Films

  ...Now, there are things over here which I quite didn't fully understood. Let's say story-wise I missed a lot of info for this short film was divided into parts. That means what I have seen is a part of something bigger, aka just an epysode. Now, unless I am wrong TS does not allow to upload projects divided into parts.

Let's say story-wise I missed a lot of info for this short film was divided into parts. That means what I have seen is a part of something bigger, aka just an epysode. Now, unless I am wrong TS does not allow to upload projects divided into parts. I mean, I don't want to be anal but I don't understand why I had to watch something that was blatantly against TS rules. I am sure there are plenty of other websites where the whole series can be uploaded. Acting-wise I was not that impressed. That was after I had read the production notes. This production team has been obviously working hard in making things work, but I had a feeling there were a few up and downs long the road. Acting left me kinda unimpressed, though I did appreciate the effort. Sound was ok, and so were the camera angles. The opening shot was great, loved it. All the best folks, I am just not sure you can have the whole series here! Best of luck nevertheless. read

  I'll admit to getting a bit confused during this film, but i suppose that's what comes of watching part two before part one. Still, for a zero-budget film this has a lot to recommend it.

I'll admit to getting a bit confused during this film, but i suppose that's what comes of watching part two before part one. Still, for a zero-budget film this has a lot to recommend it. There are some nice shots, good, creepy imagery, the storytelling is fairly clear and music is generally well used. The editing was mainly very good, with a couple of jarring exceptions (the smile at the end being one of them). It's good to see a low budget film with some ambition, and this film displays a lot of potential on the part of its makers. read

  First of all, I have 3 confessions to make, so let me quickly get them out of the way: 1) I have never seen any of the Lady X films and am only vaguely familiar with them. 2) I am a slooow reader, so myself and subtitles do not mix very well! 3) Real Player misbehaves more often than not on my eMac, but in this case, was only choppy. Now that I confessed, here is my critique...

Now that I confessed, here is my critique. I thought your movie was wonderful. Excellent cinematography, editing, sound. The actors were very believable and the story I found to be quite intriguing (are all Lady X films like this?). And for a zero budget? Quite awesome! Good film all the way around! read

  Strong in parts, weak in others

  Unfortunatly, this felt more like an episode of the x files than any thing else. But the concept is still good. Good music effects accopmanied with the effective camera work places this short in the above average bracket. What lets it down is the characters. we all know that agents, like butt cheeks, come in pairs. the two of them were cliched and uninteresting. Their participation...

Good music effects accopmanied with the effective camera work places this short in the above average bracket. What lets it down is the characters. we all know that agents, like butt cheeks, come in pairs. the two of them were cliched and uninteresting. Their participation only livened when they were caught by the drug dealer, who caught my interest the most. work on developing the main characters. read

  Lousy
  A review of Deadly Reliquary (The visions of Katharina - part 2): Lady X episode 9
  by Frog Man on 11/08/2003
  First of all it's part of a series. I didn't see the first one. Second of all it was in a language i did not undersatnd, and the subtitles sucked. The subtitles were white and it kind of mixed with everything else, so i only got to see 3 words out of 10. So i didn't understand it, did anyone? 1 through ten: a generous 4.

  so, and...

  by namter on 11/07/2003
  This was pretty average, the acting was not really that great and the editing really needs some tighting up.The story felt intriging at first but since nothing was explained you were just left with an empty feeling that everything had been told in the previous episode.Sorry I'll pass on this one
