We are proud of our first work
Reviews we received with ACONITUM
Draw of Story
"Thelma’s bad intentions are noticeable right away, which instigates knowing what she is capable of. The hook is absolutely clear from the very start. From page one we understand the tone and what’s coming next."
Possible Drawbacks
"Not really. The script has a concise, direct narrative that expands the atmosphere of suspense step by step, making us want to continue reading."
Primary Hook of Story
"The hook is the suspenseful atmosphere that is created in this B&B from the beginning. It’s meeting the character of the serial killer who kills her guests to have the proximity of people in her home. The hook is a suspenseful film with a dramatic layer that makes the story even more powerful."
Fanbase Potential
"The story itself and how it was told contain enough elements to attract a wide audience that likes this genre, and some jump scares."

Awards Potential
"Because it is a well-structured story that connects two couples separated by 30 years of difference and that interestingly sews the two narratives, it would have good chances for awards."
Uniqueness of Story
"It is not a rare gem, but it is a beautiful example of a well-developed story in the thriller genre, and it has the potential to draw attention for being well constructed and highly entertaining."
What We Liked
"Named after the entrancing yet deadly flower it is named after, ACONITUM is a similarly deceptive script that begins as a simple thriller and gradually pulls the reader into a fascinating and imaginative story which blends thrills, horror, and time travel."
Justification
"The mix that might seem strange at first fits well with the narrative, scenes, and character traits. The story gets even more interesting along the script, where we gradually see a thriller that seems simple at first - a unique environment (house) and a serial killer thirsty to kill - gain new nuances and new narrative layers that reveal unexpected plot twists and unknown motives for the characters."
