It's really too bad the writing on display is so incredibly poor, as I do enjoy me some good old fashioned creature features.

The logline is a dead give away of what's to follow, but I actually read the entire 1st scene, which is just literally loaded with every mistake in the book - misspellings, missing punctuation, extremely awkward writing, misuse of apostrophes, character's names changing and being misspelled, and some of the worst dialogue imaginable.

Love the idea, but the writing is just awful.
