Okay - scared me!

I'd change the lettering to something a little more gothic

Nice work

Nice and creepy little short. Nothing to add much except a few typos.

Pg. 4
Sabrina sits at her toy table, joined my three stuffed
animals and the doll.

Perhaps it should be... joined *by*

Pg. 6
SABRINA
YOU CAN’T DO THAT! THAT’S MY DOLL!
BEE-EL GAVE HER TO ME! YOU BETTER
GIVER HER BACK OUR ELSE!

You better *give* her back *or* else!

Good job CJ! Enjoyed the teaser as well.

Nice little creep here, CJ!

Enjoyed the teaser as well.

Good luck for the production. Hope to see the short film(if it's been made) very soon.

A real nitty issue, but you don't have to repeat info that is in your header in your descriptions. For example:


Quoted Text
EXT. SIDEWALK - MORNING

It’s a gorgeous sunny morning and zipping around on her hoverboard is SABRINA (9), cute as a button with blonde ponytails


Don't need morning in the desciption.  You already told us in the header.


Quoted Text
INT. KITCHEN - LATER

A quaint apartment kitchen. Birds chirp outside the window


Don't need kitchen in the description.  You could also put apartment in the header.

INT. APARTMENT/KITCHEN - DAY

Quaint and tidy.

Okay - this was pretty effing creepy. Nice job.

Thanks, I always look forward to your feedback. The "Lettering"...I was going for a 9-year-old handwriting style since the real evil is Sabrina.

Chris, very nice. Nothing to add that others haven't, typo-format wise. Oh, I would go easy on all caps in dialogue. The exclamation points serve the tone imh, but that's a nitpick and personal preference.

I balked a bit at the cleavage/arse line and then realised it's appropriate cause it's Bee-El's POV.

The suspense is terrific.
The little girl is nicely creepy.

SPOILERS below:


I did find the mother copping it in your denouement a bit anti-climactic but I guess you're doing a feature length with this and there'd be much more story in between?

Your video teaser scared the crap out of me.

Hi,

Well written and quite dark but I think that this approach to the horror genre has been done before, name times.
Without any backstory it's difficult to understand why a nine year old would be so easily violent, vindictive and cruel.
The end is very dark and sudden but again with more backstory we would get a better understanding of how and why we reached this point in your story.
Your short video certainly teases a great evil presence and I think you have the bones of a really good story, it just needs fleshing out more.
Very well done and good luck.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.
