'For what seemed in danger of being just another bunch-of- friends-away-getting-picked-off-one-by-one screenplay, there were actually lots of nice elements and twists which separate it from the herd. At times, particularly towards the last third, the actions/descriptions seemed to cross over from screenwriting to a more novel-writing style, but it is well paced up to a delightfully gory ending. It has a Wicker Man meets Eden Lake feel to it, which can only be a good thing for a horror screenplay.' - Judge AH 13Horror.com

The Writer: Rachel Brewer

Insurance Underwriter by day, screenwriter by night! (Or whenever I can find the time) I'm based in the South East of England, play football for a womens team, and have a passion for all things horror. I had been writing as a hobby for many years and finally decided to do something about it in 2012. I went to London's Central Film School and earned my diploma in screenwriting. I recently had my first short script - Lily's New Friend - optioned and I've seen a version of the film which is really exciting! This has also provided me with my first professional IMDb credit. I also have two feature screenplays - He's Waiting and mind Games - available on Amazon in paperback and in the kindle... Go to bio
