Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum through its first three acts, with sharp dialogue rhythms and effective tension-building in the Paradise sequences. However, Act 4 (scenes 65-71) feels rushed and somewhat disjointed, as the reveal of Sharon as an undercover detective and the introduction of the "Flowers" group in Arizona compresses too much exposition into too few scenes, slightly undermining the carefully constructed horror of the earlier acts. The balance of tension and release is generally well-managed, but the final act's pacing sacrifices emotional resonance for plot mechanics.
