Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong, escalating momentum within its compact three-act structure, with Act 2's tension and horror elements accelerating effectively toward the climax. The dialogue is sparse and rhythmic, and the surreal, visual horror beats (maggots, transformations) efficiently drive the internal and external conflict. The final act's resolution, while thematically coherent, feels slightly rushed in its tonal shift from terror to triumphant unity, which is the primary reason the score isn't higher.
