“GOODNiGHTMARE is weird and wonderful... an extremely odd mystery that feels different than anything else seen on the screen. This writer excels with personable, stylistic prose.”
“GOODNiGHTMARE is packed with a very particular kind of dialogue that it does very well, a jokey tone that never seems to slip over into broadness or parody. Instead, it feels like the organic speech of people - the jokes they make, the ways they try to connect with each other through humor. The script nails the ways in which that humor can either succeed or fail in creating connection”
“GOODNiGHTMARE generates an intense atmosphere of dread and uncertainty that is highly captivating. Building off of a great concept that brings in a natural anthology structure of small stories, the script is able to frame itself with a mystery to be solved that has a tense supernatural twist.”
“GOODNiGHTMARE is an original and unpredictable horror script with a terrific heroine and a number of surprises up its sleeve.”
