To be honest the best screenplay I have read in many a year. Randy is no riddle this kid has talent. Something here everyone will enjoy, horny teenagers, near sighted Hispanics, and even Republicans. Just think of something you like to see in a movie and it's here. I suggest Randy forget AS and send this script straight to WB. I know I sending a copy to my mother. A classic by any other name.

I don't give five star reviews, so when I give a four star that means I think Willie is already very close to being ready for filming. It's evident you have put a lot of time into this script. The sixth version shows improvement in story flow. I like that you now open it with Willie Sr. Add's an extra feel of mystery in my opinion. I still think you would be better off dropping the rock concert scene altogether. It really does nothing to advance the story that you don't already have latter on with discussions between Gretchen and Willie.
You have a number of conventional horror sub themes, the hateful wife, the spoiled daughter. But it works because you break away with less familiar territory by the end. I like how it ends for Willie. The end of Steve is well done.
Willie's character is well done and there are some nice unexpected twists from him when he gets up to the cabin. You've done your work making the major characters into believable people.
And hey, you made it through the whole story without a cat jumping out of the shadows. Awesome.
I think Willie is the kind of horror story that could find a wider audience than the usual, unstoppable, totally evil villain, everyone dies fare, that most horror movie do today.
Your script could be made a little stronger by condensing some of the minor characters, and make dropping a few scenes. (But then I'm also known for throwing in everything but the bathroom sink. So who am I to talk?)
Those you keep saying there are no good scripts on AS should read Willie.
This is a strong script that I hope Amazon will take a serious look at.

From what's available this is a very interesting movie. It establishes an intelligent beginning through it's special effects, lighting, and what it does not do. That is give us enough to understand what's really going on. If the rest of the film is of the same quality it certainly would have commercial value.
