Just read 'Carnivore'


I just read the Wachowski Brothers's unproduced horror screenplay 'Carnivore'. It's very good, very creepy, and guess what? It actually scared me. Anyone else read it? If so, what did you think of it?

'Carnivore' is a work of genius. In my opinion, of the same caliber of 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Psycho'. The problem with most horror films is that they confuse a higher body count with being scarier. But the truly good horror films are the ones that make you care for two or three characters and then threaten them. And 'Carnivore' does that.

Yeah it's really good, there's something primal about it and it works. It's a shame that it doesn't seem it will ever get made.

Well, it *should* get made. Maybe the Wachowskis can convince Warner Bros. to let them do this if 'V For Vendetta' is a hit.

Is that the entire script or not. it seems very short. And since I've never actually read a full script before I dont know (I've been meaning to read them so I have a reference to know what they look like and how to write them.)

So if anyone knows please tell me. Thanks.
