***********The REVIEWS are in on TRANSYLVANIA AIR FLIGHT1313**************
"Quality of Writing: excellent, Plot: excellent, Cinematic Quality: very good... this one ranks up there with some of my favorites. First of all, you have a KILLER title, logline and overall concept. I immediately knew I had to read it... What I love the most about your writing is that I know from page one I'm going to enjoy the read... I'm digging that we don't know who the "bad guy" is... trying to figure out which is which is pleasantly adding to the suspense. Great device!... Really appreciate the detail you go into while describing Wolfzangel's transformation into the wolf. Awesome!... this is officially the best script ever!... I could definitely see this as a great summer movie."
*****************
"The script has an intriguing premise and setting for an action story... it is understandably a tongue-in-cheek horror/action hybrid. Even the reveal at the end of that other classic film monster was a fun moment."
*****************
"From pages 89 to 96, I found myself so engrossed in the action and happenings... I found the script entertaining... My favorite characters were Vladimir and Wolfzangel. Vladimir was great... At first glance, the story is simple to follow: Cop catches werewolf. They need to take him back to Romania. A secret organization needs to kill the werewolf... I don't see many plot holes, gaps, or continuity errors... I read it. I liked it... I'll be one of the first ones to rent it at redbox."
*****************
Thanks for the read... I really did find it a good read. From time to time I have logged into Zoetrope over the last few years but I never found a script I wanted to read. Yours was the first in quite a while."
*****************
"...I love the set-up. Sort of like snakes on a plane but COOL. Much success."
*****************
"I enjoyed this well-written, light-hearted attempt to breathe new life into an old dead monster movie. I can still hear the teenyboppers screaming their heads off... Everything flows. I wish I had your way with words... Jimmy's always wisecracking, especially as the body count increases. "Ah Jesus, friendly skies, my ass." He reminds me of the Bill Murray character in Ghostbusters... sit back and enjoy the movie... Twenty-five scripts, according to your bio. You're good, man."
*****************
"The title sells itself... Good hook... You get into the story right away. Build the tension really well... We meet a bunch of people but it's not confusing and things keep moving forward. Getting ready for the big flight, loading the casket on board, things are building nicely. We like Jimmy. We're going to be on his side... PG 22: you've already unleashed a werewolf in this confined space. Can't wait to see what you're going to do to top that and how you're going to sustain this for the next 80 or so pages. Jimmy's got some funny lines. "Anti-werewolf ordinance medallion? Strictly a carry on bag item." That's a good one... Pg 36: okay, that's how you're going to top what happens on page 22. You're going to hatch a bunch of wolflings... Pg 45: and then you give us vampires... Pg 53: and Vladimir turns on Jimmy. Wow you're really bringing it... "The crowd scatters again, every which way. Any which way-- but behind them-- are the Wolflings readily snapping at their backs. There's no way out. The room is soon a writhing mass of dark shapes, running into and over each other, as need be." Great scene. The tension never lets up in this story. Real fun ride... This is way more fun than Snakes on a Plane... The plane crash is a nice move... "IRATE PASSENGER: He's joking, right?" Great line... Vlad has a cool death... Overall: ...I'm on board, I'm having fun, I'm enjoying the twists and turns... "
