Quoted from Reef Dreamer
Hi readers

Just a heads up to bear in mind Don’s super duper, five point marking system. I think he’s PM’d them out

I hadn’t seen it before - all very technical

May be worth thinking off as you read.

Gosh, you go away for a couple of years and every changes  


What?? Where can I find that?? Everything is different!! I fear change!!

Quoted from PrussianMosby
Yeah,
good opportunity to shout stuff from the sideline ...

So here's the first look
Title Impression:

Not fitting genre:
The Art of War (Action/Thriller)
Three Blocks (Action/Thriller)
What Was That
Party Out of Bounds
Twins

Lacks emotion, too standard:
Can't You Hear It
Cold Blood
Sickening Desires
The Halloween After Party
For The Love of Satan
The Night He Came Back
The Vampire Affair

Well in genre:
Paralysis
Curse of Osiris (borders to an adventure feel but there's still a go)
Last Halloween

Outstanding, striking, get me the ticket:
The Magic Candy (possibly cut the 'The' was my very first look impulse)
The Frequency of Fear
End of The Harvest
Devil's Night Massacre (first impulse impression- maybe make it a subjective single term
                                  with losing the apostrophe 'Devil Night Massacre; it will read odd                          
                                  like that, yes, but imo the very positive kind of odd, the in your face odd)


Nice observations, Alex.   :D

Folks, just a quick reminder that any rating you have should be held until you do so on your scorecards, not on the script’s thread. Thanks.

Also, please check your pm from Don! The scoring is a little different this time and I’d hate peeps to have to go back over the scripts they’ve already read.

A silly question but I wanted to ask before it's too late: I've started filling out my score card as I go. If I close it, will I lose what I've filled in or can I reopen later with information saved?

You likely will lose it. It's happened to me before. And not a silly question. Best to take a screenshot before you close it.

I don't recall this being a requirement in the original thread, Steven, and if that's true, my scores will stay.

It's always been a requirement.

Scoring comes at the end.

Wasn’t a requirement and no, I didnt mention it. Your scores can stay. But we all should know , most of us anyway, it’s been frowned upon in the past.

Peeps have put their own little scores on their reviews for many years...unless the original parameters said not to.

I like being frowned on, anyways.

Keep it, Zack.  I'm keeping mine.  I think it adds to the review to know what the person really thought.

There are so many sugarcoated reviews for absolutely terrible scripts, it's crazy.  I never get it, but oh well.

Now I come to think of it there was that running star-system Don tried out a few years back...

Anyway, you guys can take it up with challenge-master, Steve.
I won't edit out any more scores and you do so at your own peril.  

P.S. Jeff, I don't think there's any risk people don't know what you really think.
Try and keep it respectful though.
