Writer interested in feedback on this work

So that just happened... I don't have the words.

Quoted from Warren So that just happened... I don't have the words.

The words are: "odious liquid" and "dark, coagulated blood" and "awesome".

Somewhere there is a film student sitting on ten gallons of stage blood and zombie makeup that needs to find this script.

Don

Haha.  My only problem is that I am not getting why this has so much dialogue.

10/10. Somebody get this in a theatre so I can watch it.

Quoted from Heretic 10/10. Somebody get this in a theatre so I can watch it.

Really so that's where the bar is. Wow.

I wish it was a feature!

Actually now that you mention it, why wouldn't I want to watch 90 minutes of two dead humans groaning at each other and being intimate while their rotting bodily fluids leak out of them.

You make a very good point.

ugh.Not for me

Don't wanna say too much here, lest I come off as taking an intentional lark too seriously. I also haven't reviewed anything here in a while, so I don't know if "Writer interested in feedback" has proved a reliable indicator that the writer is indeed around to read it. What I will say is that I agree with Bert. The dialogue's gotta go. I straight up didn't read it.

First of all, thank you very much for reading my script! You have been very courageous indeed...but, please, let's give the zombies a chance to express their feelings through dialogue. The two women want to spend their deaths together.
My best,
Fausto

Lmao, nice one Fausto... thats the very first lesbian zombie, incredibly soft porn short ive read 😁.  P.s the dialogue is a liitle on the nose....😊

Hi Kirsten,
thank you for reading this unusual story. Regarding the dialogue, I see your point but please keep in mind that this is the way zombies talk...very simple and repetitive.
Best regards,
Fausto

Khamanna,
thank you for your suggestion...a feature zombie script is not a bad idea...I have to think about an original story.
Thank you for reading.
My best,
Fausto

Quoted from Warren Really so that's where the bar is. Wow.

I think there's a lot to be said for a simple story told simply. The ladies love each other even in death -- it's a nice idea and it's well-expressed in a visually interesting way. To me it's the same impulse of total sincerity that drives great movies like Before Sunrise or Brawl on Cell Block 99.

Heretic,
you captured perfectly the soul of the story...a simple love story evolving after death...forever. I read the script of Before Sunrise and I saw the movie...fascinating in its simplicity.
Thank you for reading my script.
Best,
Fausto

I would like to thank all the 300+ courageous readers of this unique, ground-breaking script.
All my best to all!

Fausto

I really hope that’s your real name.

Fetid
- Good choice, love that word.

ZOMBIE
(raucously)
GRAAHGR.

- Does the male zombie not get a name?

Is there any rhyme or reason to the sounds uttered by the characters or did you just mash the keyboard? Doesn’t matter either way, just curious since all the dialogue is unintelligible.

Did I just read the first “woke” zombie script? Not only do you portray same-sex relations in an open non-judgemental way but the male character is completely secondary and doesn’t even get a name!

Why does Giselle get so angry at poor male zombie though when all he seems to be doing is professing his devotion to her? Could she not just respectfully decline? Then again, who knows how these two were treated during their actual 19th century lives if their lesbian relationship was a known thing and what kind of person male zombie was in his lifetime. Alas, we’ll never know.

A funny and rather gruesome piece you have here. It could actually work in a purely visual and visceral way on screen, like a silent film, which it practically is already. I mean really go all out with the liquids and body horror, particularly at the end, which you have done on the page.

Col.

I didn't enjoy that at all.

Is there a purpose for all the dialogue?

People seem to be liking it for the most part, which I don't understand.

This would be visually disturbing to watch, but not in an entertaining way.

Each to their own I guess.

Good luck with it.

I actually found it quite funny, not sure if that's what you were going for.

Agree with most though didn't care to much for the dialogue.

Definitely an interesting concept though, well done :)

really enjoyed your descriptions aswell.
