This screenplay suffers from trying to be several genres and sub genres but not being good in any of them. It tries to be a western, but fails because it's set in the pre-civil war antebellum south. It fails at trying to be southern Gothic because it tries to be a western. It fails as a horror movie because it's trying to be like "The Frighteners."
The screenplay also suffers from a great deal of cramming, with skewered margins, and overstuffed pages. Things that would automatically have gotten the screenplay tossed out by any major agency.
There's an error on the very first line of the screenplay.
