Pacing Verdict
The screenplay demonstrates excellent pacing within its unique three-act structure, maintaining relentless narrative momentum from the unsettling domestic opening through the escalating supernatural horror to the devastating climax. The dialogue rhythm is sharp and efficient, with rapid teen exchanges establishing character and dread before masterfully shifting into tense, sparse exchanges as the horror escalates. While the final act's rapid-fire sequence of revelations and the climax could feel slightly compressed, the overall flow manages tension and release with precision, ensuring the story's forward drive never falters.
