Yeh, I thought this script was cool. Except it was confusing that the Zombies could kill everyone else except the main characters!

I enjoyed it. For once I didn't find myself cringing at pathetic dialogue! lol. The characters were good, and there were some, like Christian and Autumn, who I didn't feel I'd seen before in a thousand other horror films. There were pretty original I thought. I'm another Harmony fan! I was sad when she died, but it's good to kill a character the audience likes because they get more involved. I DID think that maybe another of the main 6 teens (Jay, Christian, Gregg, Casey, Harmony and Autumn) should have died. Autumn could have popped it, she was just as unlikeable at the end as she was in the beginning. You could also afford to lose Gregg. As someone mentioned before, it's a bit unrealistic that the main characters don't get killed (bar Harmony) when everyone else is being killed so easily. Jay, Casey and Christian all need to survive though :).
Other than that I loved it, and I don't normally like Zombie films! I think it's because the school setting and the different types of people having to work together reminded me of "The Faculty" and I really like that film. I was so happy when the blob killed that Dr. Q, she was a biatch and had a wicked death!
Well done on writing an enjoyable, gory, and often funny script (I laughed when Christian says "What's up?" and Stacy looks down and replies with "You tell me"). Keep up the good work.

An entertaining screenplay.  It's a little rough on the edges, and I found the whole prayer to God thing to be somewhat contrived, but I guess it works.  Format was easy to read, it felt more like reading a book than a screenplay.  I agree with the other replies in that the main characters were unusually hard to kill.  Overall, good enough to finish is good enough for me.  Thanks for wriiting it.

I loved it. Everything was great.  Including getting rid of that Darren. Why hate Darren you may ask.  Simple answer is... I'm a Darren (well it's my reason and I like it).
