Just going to spend one more weekend with it and it will be on it's way.

Thank you.

From seeing the title, I didn't think it would be a horror script, until I read the log line. Not being Australian, I looked up the name and found out what it meant. But I think you should have chose a different title. One that draws attention. That's just my opinion.

The characters needed work. I really didn't like any of them that much when they showed up. Doug was really annoying. Matt and Angie (obvious final girl) were bland, but they did get better. I did like Tom later on. I was hoping he would have lived. Steve and Joanne suddenly show up, then get killed off quick. I didn't care for them that much.

And you rushed things. The people being infected started too soon. I think you should have let us get to know the group more before things started going crazy. Maybe add some other characters. Whatever happened to the brunette girl and the blonde girl? I thought we would be seeing them again.

The whole story was cliche, but you already knew that. But I like the plot. It really reminded of this zombie video game called Dead Island which also takes place somewhere near Australia at a hotel.  

The ending to your script was awesome. Best part. It makes up for the other predictable things that happened earlier. But I did not expect Angie to just get killed right there. That shocked me. I thought she would have put up a fight and then take the car driving off.

Not many horror movies or scripts have dark ending like this. That was nice. I thought that was a good twist on the typical horror movie ending where the survivor is picked up by someone in their car and is drove off to safety.

Poor Angie though.

Hey, Jason.

Thanks so much for the read.

This was my first script ever so there are some definite issues.

It's currently and has been undergoing a rewrite for some time.

Really appreciate your thoughts even though I know a lot of it already (cliche, relatively one dimensional characters, I know they need real work) and a fair bit of it hasn't changed in the rewrite. I think mainly because I'm losing steam as far as this script goes.

One day I'll get it finished.

Anything you would like me to take a look at?

Being your first script, it was good.

Well I hope you get it finished one day, because I'd love to read it.

I did post a horror script here. It's called Sanguinary. You can read it if you want to.

Thanks, all.

Features just seem like an impossible thing to get made, but the filmmaker is definitely enthusiastic so I guess that's a start. He lives a few suburbs away from Surfers Paradise so that's handy. I'm also happy with the compensation for the script, so no issues there.

The script that was removed was the first thing I ever wrote, I never did get the 'final' draft on to SS, but it looks quite different to what was posted. It's also had a logline change, not that it really matters.

Will keep you posted if anything ever comes if it.

Fingers crossed for you that this gets made. Even so, an option is still a bloody big achievement

Out of interest, how did he find the script?

Cheers.

He contacted me through my website, so I'm not entirely sure. The link is only in two places, here and on SR.
