Talk:The Perfect Scary Movie/@comment-25021327-20150101040805

I like the premise of making a scary story based around horror films. And the feel of this reminded me of a 70's or 80's slasher, exploitation flick, mostly toward the end. Up to that point the tone didn't feel as focused.

The setup is okay, pretty much getting the reader up to speed with the main character. I may have liked to know a bit more about him, but it's not necessary, It's a fairly easy plot to pick up. I feel like the pacing of the tale picks up in speed as the story goes along. That's not a bad thing, but I thought that it got a little too jumpy toward the ending.

The reveal at the end seemed somewhat jarring to me. I was pretty sure where things were going when reading this, as the clue is given at the beginning about switching schools. However, for me, it still seemed kind of sudden. If that is what you were going for, then it works, I just would have liked to maybe get to know the narrator abit better, and maybe have a little "Is he, or isn't he gonna be a lunatic?"

Spelling and grammar are in prety good shape, no distracting errors. The length is pretty good (though I personally might have liked some more even pacing and fleshing out of the characters) I don't feel like it's too long, or short to turn potential readers off.

So yeah, not one of my favorites, but not really a bad story either :)
