Oh! Awesome vid! I was confused at first, but then I read what Kat put and got it

Wow, awesome idea! I loved when they were waking up, I thought that was really cool! And the "Welcome Home" part. Great work Nikki

Yikes, that was so creepy! I really like how you put the characters in such a dark and morbid place, leaving death and a 'return' to the island as the only option...very cool

Omg. Nikki! This was great I don't know what to say: just Woaw!
This was such a creative idea! The whole video was so sad and scary. I loved that:) And the end with the "Welcome home"
Wow this was just amazing.

- Gold from me:D

Very, very clever idea, Nikki! I loved the twist at the end of the vid when you made them go back to the island by committing suicide. It took me all by surprise and gave me goose bumps

(And yay! A Jacket moment!!

)
Excellent work, hon!!

Thanks Karolina! I'm so thrilled that you liked my idea and that you picked up on the Jacket moment. No one else has mentioned that yet.
