		<description>My son showed me this clip and I absolutely loved it and was haunted by the changing images.  The concept was brilliant!

However, after saying that, there appear to be some problems with the "Facts".  At the beginning, there is a book with a caduceus on it, plus a book on the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology.  There is a word, "Keres", marked on a piece of paper with a "?".  Keres are actually death spirits that haunted the battlefields or were involved in any violent death, who drank blood of the killed souls and sent them to Hades.  There is no mention of sacrificing people to please these spirits.  I believe there would have been enough people killed by violent means to satisfy them.  I don't think any sacrifice would have been necessary.  Plus, a fire wouldn't have been necessary, as the Keres fed on blood.  If the baby was burnt, there wouldn't have been any blood.   Also, if 100s of children are missing, why was the woman spared?  Why didn't they just take the baby and kill the woman, too?  Plus, the christian symbols should have no bearing on a Keres, since this mythology was around way before Christianity was established.  Also, the caduceus tatoos have nothing to do with Keres and was actually a symbol used by Hermes/Mercury.  No association with the Keres.  

In spite of these "flaws", it was a very effective short movie.  Maybe the director should change the beginning shots of all the documents to make the story more credible.  Just saying....</description>
