It just seems pretty bruatal. The mother beating her daughter and then getting urine and vomit on her and yelling all those insults. |

So... does anyone (whore the former scripts) think this is worse/better/boring/unbelievable than the other scripts?
Feedback, please. |

I tried just picking a random spot to start reading this. I picked six random spots. In each one, a different nasty thing was happening, sometimes disgusting. Snorting coke, smoking this and that, screwing--burning kittens?!
Come on. |

I know... but it's only script. But really sick people do actually do that, around Halloween they throw animals into a fire. |

Normally, I read ten to twelve pages of a script before reviewing it, but I couldn't get past page four.
In regards to the formatting, you've got this all wrong. Your action descriptions are all wrong. On page one, you describeMichelle and Jeffrey as 'Both have never taken a drug... will have in store for them.' How is the camera supposed to show this?
You later introduce Amy as Jeffrey's wild, pill-popping sister. How does the camera show this with someone who's supposedly asleep?
Later on, you use the phrase, "We hear a few sounds of someone in pain." What sounds are these? Crying? Moaning? Screaming?
If the camera can't show it, you don't describe it.
Onto the story....
I'm under the impression that you wrote this just to shock people. There's no story here, just violence.

I'm just wondering as a fellow member and writer like many on these boards why if so many people say it's bad or somethings just too much why you don't cut it out or revise it and tone down the violence so you can actually reach an audience
Bruce said something about getting vomit and urine on someone, you could never get anyone to act this stuff out and if you could there some sick people. If not even 1 person says it's good than I'd think about doing something new or toning down the stuff that's physically apauling
I will get around to reading this, maybe later tonight at least some of it but it seems as if you could make it appealing if you toned down the violence |

I know no-one here agrees with it, but I really like that fact that I shock people. What? It's a kick? Anyways, I've given up on this, there was gonna 3 parts like the other and whatever. I'm actually working on drama/comedy now. |
