A review of Dead Air

by Envy on 10/08/2012

Okay, that's a bit harsh. The thing is the screenplay was kinda great. Great characters, incredibly well written dialogue and I loved the theme of radio and the role it plays in media and some people's hearts but the overall story was a bit underwhelming. There are all these plot lines that seem to go nowhere (the shooter situation), come out of nowhere (Vince's lawsuit),... read

The Slayer review

A review of Slayer of Mage and Sorcerers

by Envy on 08/06/2012

Well, this has been an interesting read. At times it felt like I was going through a video game as opposed to an actual story. The fights scenes are nice but in my opinion you need to add more depth and complexity to your characters, some were completely useless and I see no reason as to why they were there. Like Cameron, his motive was sketchy and it turned out that he wasn't... read

Suicide Shift - review

A review of Suicide Shift

by Envy on 10/01/2011

Well, the concept of this was pretty good - a divided society plagued with a rise in suicides. But there were some details that didn't seem to add up. You may get arrested for if you assist at up to 4 people's suicides but there is a job where you are required to watch people jump off a bridge? That doesn't sound right. And the concept spirals down to a certain type of story... read

The humane facade - review

A review of The Humane Facade

by Envy on 09/18/2011

Well, this was an interesting read. Don't know what to make of it. The ending certainly did not provide closure. Let me start off by saying that I believe Samantha's doctors misdiagnosed her. She seemed to exhibit more symptoms than just paranoid schizophrenia. Autism? Mental retardation, maybe? There are also some discrepancies in the way she talks. One minute she's a repetetive... read

In human form - review

A review of In Human Form

by Envy on 09/01/2011

Not sure I liked this at all. It angered me a lot. The moral of the story in particular. "Don't take matters into your own hands, just let God handle everything". I wonder what would had happened 20 years ago if the people of my country didn't stand up against the dictator Ceauceskov and just prayed for a miracle? Living under communism, now there's a thought. Or the rebels... read

The lament review

A review of The Lament

by Envy on 08/29/2011

Interesting piece. Kind of reminded me of Stephen King but I'm not sure why. The narator has this skiill of inflicting this weird state of claustrophobia to the reader while describing the main character's emotional purgatory, so major props for that. You also do a really good job at creating a pretty complex character within the span of 20+ pages. The concept wasn't very original... read

Ironmaiden in New York

A review of IRONMAIDEN

by Envy on 08/26/2011

This is a tough one. It's got heart for sure but it doesn't seem to have much originality, nothing much to make it stand out from other fantasy fiction. Some elements are quite textbook. Like Mardack's name (and for someone of his caliber I expected him to be something more like the president of the united states, not some nightclub owner), the typical mentor story, etc. The... read

The cost of freedom

A review of The Cost of Freedom

by Envy on 08/23/2011

A nice and funny story. I love the way you chose to present the idea of freeing someone from his destiny. Also the way the character chose to celebrate his new-found freedom is both hilarious and thought-provoking. You could have insisted on the lenght of the text or at least on the lenght of the dialogue previous to the big revelation to build-up more tension and to keep the... read

A screenplay with a good sense of humour but seriously lacking in the originality and tension department

A review of Children Shouldn't Play in Haunted Houses

by Envy on 08/21/2011

It was an entertaining read. But apart from the comedic dialogue there was nothing else which made it rise above average. Everything varying from concept to characters is seriously lacking creativity. It did not revamp, reinvent or rebrand the haunted house concept making it easy to anticipate everything about it. The typical cast members are all there including the quintessential... read
