Legend Of The Blue Hole

This was my senior film in college, (2004) originally intended as a pilot episode for a series based on actual urban legends in southern New Jersey. I was inspired by Weird NJ magazines, the Twilight Zone and anthology films like Creepshow. I still have plans to shoot the other “Jersey Odyssey’s”, but I have no idea when. Too many projects, too little time.

Whether you are fucking around or were filming movies you
Mark definitely shows on this, of the film making quality
here is an indication I KNOW THE AVGN MOVIE
WILL KICK FUCKING ASS.

You are an inspiration to so many and to myself as well.
I love DeathPuppy and I also feel like we all share that
nostalgic bond and I love everyone who just gets it.
Also, big what the fucks up to MF Mike.
Mike is the shit, and no I am not just saying that because
I am also a Mike. I say it because it is true. Cinemassacre must
exist forever. Long live Cinemassacre!!

Here in Richmond, VA. of all places, we have a Lost City. Very Creepy, and mysterious too. I wish James could make a movie about this!

Very good, very good. I am actually feeling like watching a real episode of a "mystique" show on TV. The actors do a great job.

that was amazing dude your like m night shamalan blew my mind but one question was it the jersey devil or a time warp or aliens or is it up to the veiwer if it is then it was the jersey devil

Better than anthing i've ever done.

Fuckin' Brilliant!

Awesome idea, reminds me of something from the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits.

What's the name of the piano song that plays when he's driving?
It's really pretty. Can we get it anywhere? :O

Kudos on the movie, James! I really enjoyed it :)
I like how the fact that he's in another time period is introduced.
Great job!

now one of my favorite videos on the internet

Wow that was probly the best 20 mins ive ever spend watching somthing on internet. Pure genius 5/5!! I cant even begin to imagine what you could do with a better budget. Keep the awsome work :D

Seriously, James, you should make a DVD of this movie and (in fact, all of your films should be made into a DVD, you chould make a Collection outta it.) sell it via the ScrewAttack Store or something.

I fucking love this movie man, can't believe it was made by a College Student. You got some real skill when it comes to movie making, James, I want you to know that. Your acting is great, your directing is great, and your reviewing is great.

We love you man, keep it up!

That was amazing! If they EVER decide to make another Twilight Zone revival, YOU have to be responsible for it. I mean that intro speech was so akin to it, lol "a circus freak walking on your third eye." That montage music was incredible and loved the twist ending. Glad you decided to keep it!

I notice a lot of your other films are gory and have adrenaline driven suspense, but this was the best to me so far. It's a well written piece!

Where can I download this?

Gosh, where to begin?!! I loved so many things about this film: the lighting of the campfire scene, the choice of music placement in scenes, and the interactions of characters! They were so sincere, I really enjoyed this, beginning to end.

Wow, that's real good. I like the twist ending.

Truly fantastic. Much better than any urban legend show you see today.

Wonderful.

Aside from me shatting in my pants during the bedroom, nightmare sceen...LOL What an outstanding twist and short story!!!! As far as I'm considered, not that my opinion counts for anything, it is good enough for a half hour show on HBO...I'm sure you'd agree that maybe some fine tune editing might want to be done on sceens that dragged a little, but great, great, great work....and I'm only metioning about the fine editing because I know you're a perfectionist...Not to be taking as an insult by any means.

I really liked that. Excellent job.

James, i want to see a movie one day when i go buy a DVD or Blue Ray that says on the cover 'Directed by: Jame Rolfe'

That was awesome! You should continue this series, or pitch it to a network and use this as your demo!

done well i really enjoyed it and on my smile meter it gets a 8.5 out of 10 :)

I was impressed. It was original and intriguing. Overall I give it a thumbs up. Nice work James.

Simply outstanding! That was truly an amazing film, with a great ending. Congrats to you and everyone who worked on it. Keep up the great work man.

I wish this was a full length movie very interesting and original plot. I didn't see that ending coming at all. But where is episode 2 it says episode 1 at the beginning

Similarly to the others who have commented on the film, I would have loved to have seen a long film made by you. You have great dreams and epic fantasy, the movie will be amazing, fun and scary, I hope. Horror is what I hope most of you.

Bigmanstian

AWSOME. So is he the same guy as the guy who gave him the map?
Hope you make a part 2 soon
KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT JOB!!!

this by far one of the best films i've seen

Sweet! The music when he has the nightmare reminded me of The Outer Limits theme :D It also made me jump. Made me think of sleep paralysis, man I hate sleep paralysis.

This movie is really good, you did a great job James. It had great acting too.

man this shoulda been in theatres

you should check out some H. P. Lovecraft. awesome stuff, just down your "monsters from beyond" lane

That was GREAT James:-D The camera shots and the whole script kept me interested. The acting wasn't so bad either, i dunno why but the main lead actor reminds me of Johnny Depp. Bleh, great work!

Great work. Kind of what would have happened if "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" had grown up with us.

I really enjoyed that. I'd love to see what you could accomplish if given a nice budget.

!BRAVO james... BRAVO¡

James, if you ever see this, look up Sargel18 on Google. Now that is a story from New Jersey worth looking into...

3 words: clap clap clap.

Hey this was really cool for a student film. Great job

This was awesome James. You are really good at these. I hope you realize your dreams and make full-length feature films some day, because I'd love to see them!

WOW, this is very good!
