Good title
Well, I smiled when reading the logline: "finds his quest for answers takes him closer to the truth than he ever expected"

A sheer Picasso of saying nothing

P5 a slow burner so far – not bad at all, then, something should happen soon

I quickly rechecked the genre because this reads as a drama to me

P7 complete switch of tone here – feels like trash horror from here on…

The very last picture does not work for my taste… I like that you include the other characters in the end but the punch line must be better imo, if you eventually go that "trashy" route

It's a mixed bag for me. Until the tone shifts, I was really taking it serious to some degree and was interested what you do with his conspiracy tics. Then it all went a completely different route. I don't know: just asked myself why should I invest so much in that guy when suddenly the plotting comes out of left field and just drives over the build-up like a bulldozer.

Still, there is a lot entertainment, no doubt. But if it all ends in fun and games then better get in and out within a minimal timeframe. What else is there to learn?  Why watch this guy for so long if it ends with eyeballs popping up from his body…

Good entertainment - just not balanced yet in case of its cinematic expression.

I'd really start by cleaning up the formatting issues on page 1.


Am I on the right track with THIS ? Let me know.

Title got my interest right away

I'd lose all the camera directions, try and find a way to show us how you want a specific moment filmed rather than add camera directions, would read much better,

I enjoyed this, a slow build up to insanity. Brookes conversation with the courier guy was good stuff as was the eyeballs popping up around his body. What I would cut however is them appearing on Greenfingers.

Good work.

I like the character. It's really authentic and complex in a delighting way.
Although I'm not a fan of the transitions between some scenes here and sometimes got lost, is this screenplay an entertaining piece after all.

Good work!
