I've been to Lima...don't recall a rainforest on the western side of the Andes. Could be wrong...

Having a hard time with the details in this. Peter wouldn't be shuffling too much with a compound fracture. Don't believe there're any indigenous tribes of this nature either around Lima. Okay, I'll stop there.

ouch, the dialog is so not realistic.

Wow, one drag on a cigarette and she mellows right out. Even when the ramming starts again. I should take up smoking.

Done. Good news: criteria met. Can't say I'm a big fan here, sorry. Weak story, characters, dialog and prose. Great effort. On to round four!

I'm shocked! I just read all the previous reviews and it has overwhelming good, if not great, comments. I thought the dialog was over the top cheese, like day-time soap sappy cheese and the actions of the two main characters so unnatural. I'm bamboozled. Always wanted to use that word.

A little melodramatic for a pilot.

Wow, after seeing all these burning hand sanitizer scripts, there's no choice. I am going to have to throw one on the grill tomorrow and see what happens.

Moderate scores for the categories. Seems more like a story the writer felt forced to write for the challenge. Not something that has potential beyond that.

No copyright notice. I'm stealing it! Just kidding.

"I ask that you extinguish your cigarettes"? What year is this?

I think you meant the natives are wearing loincloths. Aprons would be silly. Not a fan of the irredeemably primitive native cliche.

Jenny's good at the whole I'm-dead-but-I'm-taking-you-with-me thing.

I don't see how the title is related to the story.


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

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

BLACK SCREEN should just be BLACK. No need to tell us it's a black screen. We're reading a screenplay.

Writing is very good here. Only a couple minor hang ups, but for the most part this read incredibly smoothly. Fast paced and very visual. Whoever wrote this will likely do well in round 4.

Not much of a story, really. But it works for me. It's a fun action/horror sequence.

Characters and dialog are alright, nothing memorable, but far from terrible.

I liked this one. Good work.
