Don't know, this felt a little too familiar for me... and whilst I get the reference I didn't feel it worked here for some reason.

Decently written though.

Isn't the black dog from the Son of Sam?

well written but I didn't see any twist here. It was straight forward from start to finish. Unless you're ripping Son of Sam off.

Not for me sorry

Good job on entering

Well, count me as confused.  Jack is taking commands from his dog?  Or is Jack the dog and vice versa?  I like crazy in scripts, but I do also like to understand what’s happening.  Maybe with a rewrite you could provide just a tad more clarity to the scenario.


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

Didn't get it at all. Footsteps. Dog.

Reading the comments, I can see why... I don't know anything about Son of Sam.

The sobbing was confusing. You go from sobbing to the woman in the hall. The writing connects the two elements. Maybe if you mention that it's a male sobbing?

I guess Jack read too many "Son of Sam" articles, and actually believed that a demon-possessed dog gave David Berkowitz orders to kill. But where Berkowitz admitted he invented that story, Jack's mind has actually conjured up a real demon dog. This was a good effort at showing what might be going on in a damaged mind

For some reason this one made me laugh at the reveal.

That doesn't mean I didn't like it.  I did.  Nice work.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Are we still in the HALLWAY with Jack on the couch?

I like what you’re going for but would we connect the voice to the dog as written?  Maybe… Or perhaps it’s vague for that reason.  You had a little more room to play with which is a shame, could have given us a little more to go on.  Not a bad concept but the twist didn’t land for me.

This reminds me of the Spider-Man scene where Norman Osborn is talking with the Green Goblin mask. Pulling off a twist like this is nigh-impossible in two pages because the trope of remorseful lunatic talking to himself is so common.

The writing does evoke remorse, though, rather than giving the impression that he'd broken an expensive belonging or was simply worried about getting caught. Well written there.

On the technical side, using (O.S.) instead of (V.O.) is a bit of a cheat. The problem is that using (V.O.) makes the entire setup plain to see.

Nice effort with this one!

EDIT: If I was supposed to pick up a Son of Sam reference, I don't know it so that part was lost on me.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

"Kord" (Fantasy)

Spooky and dark.

I liked the writing, the building tension worked for me. I wish there was more of a twist. I think the writer could expand on the story here, this could be the cold open for something longer.

Nice work~
