Hey, Marcus:Gave this a look. You have several issues on your first page.

EXT. KAREN’S HOUSE - DAY

The sun is barely peaking, leaving the neighborhood with a
bluish hue in the early morning hours.

KAREN gives herself a look over in her car visor mirror, then
shuts it.

She get out the car then walk up the steps to her lovely
home.

Karen enters her home. It’s pitch black on the inside.

She starts toward the steps then a light snaps on behind her.

She stops in her tracks as a deep voice calls out to her.


Problems with your headers in the start. You set up an EXT scene - outside her house. Then - we're in Karen's car without a new header. Then we're in the house - without a new header. You need new scene headings every time you change location.

Also - Maybe a little description of Karen when intro'd. We don't even know her age.

Karen!!!


Kind of the wrong order. Should be something like:

She starts toward the steps then a light snaps on behind her.

FRANK (O.S.)
Karen!!!

Karen stops in her tracks.

(startled)
What’s going on baby? What are you
doing off of work?


No need for the startled, We know it already from the stop in her tracks.

Where have you been Karen?


Need a comma after been,
