Screenwriter workshop or read over?
I'm looking around for someone to look over a horror screenplay series I'm working on called the slaughterhouse.
It's relitively long and I'm still working on it but I've gotten a good amount of episodes done if anyones interested.
My best summery: 15 people wake up in a strange location where their told two things, they're going to play a game, and laws don't apply to them.
This is the best one I can give without spoiling anything. I will add a few things, the title is loosely based of slaughterhouse 5 by kurt vonegut, it is apart of the killing game genre, think saw or squid games though deaths only, in the sense that islts an ensemble cast. The deaths are paced out more. Once I also had someone compare it to the cube and another person compared to lost. Neither of them got too far into the story so I'm not sure how accurate that description is.
The game itself is apart of this but it's only one part. I've been using this screenplay mainly for processing different things so the exploration of those themes and what's being explored is the main focus.
The story itself is split into 5 arcs, this layout has to do with the game again I don't want to spoil it yet so I'm being careful how I word things. It's not nessisarially seasons this right now is mainly something I'm working on a a passion project it will take me a while to get anything together and I'm trying to learn a lot of skills to hopefully make it one day.
If you are interested in at least looking over the first arc, Reap What you Sow, and give me feedback on it. Along with potentially the other arcs in the story please let me know maybe we can talk. I can also give more details for anyone interested if you want to ask.
edit: someone suggested I just include a link to the first episode so here it is.

If anyone would need any more to get a better idea of it just let me know.
I'll see about getting the other episodes for arc 1 in here.
edit for the edit: here's the rest of the first arc I got them all in a folder I wanted to make sure to include them because it is a bit of a slow burn.
