Reaper, you have to admit, Jeff was completely out of line.The issue was not about Jeff's review, it was about his personal attack on me because he did not agree with my review...and about his hijacking this thread, which a veteran of SS should know better.

And I did not trash the script at all. I made clear I thought it was great writing. Also, it seems quite a few others shared my view about the characters and story. Which leads to speculation about Jeff's motives.

I'll be commenting on only the issue btw Jeff and Kev.

I agree with Reaper in regards to when Jeff likes something, he'll let you know. This is based off from experience from another challenge.

I'm use to Jeff so, I have no problem with him. When he writes a review I pay attention to it even if it's all negative comments about my script. lol. One can always find something useful in them.  His heart is at the right place.

However, people are entitled to their opinions about a script. Not everyone is going to like something. And it's just an opinion. The person doesn't have to listen to it. And based off what I read of Kev's review, he didn't trash it. He gave pros and cons. I wouldn't mind getting that type of review from Kev.

Thanks, Gabe, and I agree on all points. I never doubt Jeff's sincerity on his views, and I always read them. Always. Even if it's a random feature script that I have never opened. And I've always said, and I've always appreciated, that Jeff is one of the few long time members willing to give a new writer some honest feedback. It's very important and should be recognized.

His telling people to ignore my reviews was out of line. His questioning my motives was off base. And that will be even more apparent after the reveal.

People get heated, especially during OWC's. It's all good. I'm not angry. I still enjoy Jeff's being here. He does owe an apology, but that's up to him.

Y'all should work this out in PM's and get off my thread.  Yes, I AM the writer of this script and I don't appreciate you hijacking my thread for your "battle of the egomaniacs" dispute.

Ha.  I lie.  This isn't my script.  I don't have that kind of talent.  Now piss off all ya.  

Feel guilty even reading this one considering the number of attention it has already received. But I have to vote soon, and this got some rave reviews it seems. So here it goes.

Quite an unusual logline, but the title caught my eye.

Funny with the skeleton guy, and dig the black cat. One of the cliches I haven't seen used so far in this OWC. I own a black cat.

Found Molly shooting Penny in the head very funny! Added some charm to the script.

Brutality with Will. Love the gore!

This was very, very well written. No mistakes that I noticed. This idea obviously needed more pages, but with the amount given to you, you did very well. At the beginning it felt there was too many cuts, but that's not your fault. Just the constraints.

Great horror!

"She pulls a HAIR off a pink hairbrush and uses a candle flame to part it." -- Not sure what this means.

The writing here is excellent. Love the beetle scene and how evil Molly is. I was lost on why they were trying to kill her. They were just ordered to? But they obviously knew her. How? Molly seemed to have some kind of bond with Will but he was in bed with a dude. That confused me. I just didn't get the connection between Molly and the others.

Even though I ended up with questions, I really liked this. One of my faves. Great work here!! Congrats!  

This is a hard one because, like others have said, I didn't really connect with the characters and therefore didn't really care what happened to either side.

But this was also a very entertaining read. It was good, clean, and I could picture this onscreen. So as a form of quick, fun entertainment - this works on many levels. And for what it is - I wouldn't change anything in it - and I don't recommend you do.

I don't know what else to say here, but good job

Renee

Easily my favorite.  Would love to hear from the writer.

I apologize for the shite I caused early on.

Great work, wonderful tone, and your spells show you either spent some time or just have a way with words.

Others said they couldn't connect with the characters or really care for anyone, but IMO, this seemed to be the structure you chose to use and for me, at least, it worked extemely well.

Excellent effort!
