Creepy stupid waste of bandwidth. Now I’ll read your spoiler.

For a split second, the uncanny valley effect was startling. Then it was annoying and dull.

Yeah, that exactly. As a thirty second clip of nothing but that, it’s tiresome and dull. But if you slipped a half second shot of one of those faces into a montage, maybe as part of a story about a brain-washing video, or _Ring_-style supernatural horror, it could be effective. But it doesn’t stand on its own at all.

No, not at all. The original scene was far more disturbing on every level.

I think that the video was slightly creepy, but it didn’t actually creep me out at all, if that makes sense. And it was definitely annoying, and did annoy me.

Annoying and unnerving (like any sustained, rising tone like that is). Not scary, maybe a little creepy, not really disturbing.

Funny as Hell in the first loop, after that it got annoying.

I thought it was dumb, and sort of uncomfortable-making. Not scary, so much, but causing anticipation of something scary.

I thought it was creepy, in the same Uncanny Valley sort of way that antique dolls are creepy.
