Talk:The Cult/@comment-25052433-20140919050449

This was really good. So, let's go out to the woods, put on our black robes, and summon up a review.

What went right:

-This was a good, styled horror story. You avoided all the new concepts and went with something time tested, tried and true.

-The idea of encountering a dark cult doing its thing out in the woods is scary enough to be a story in and of itself, but when you factor in being stalked to death by a psycho in black robes just really makes the whole story pop.

-This was just the right amount of detail and length. This didn't need to be a super long story in order to get its message across to the reader. I especially enjoyed the journal style of story telling.

-The nightmare angle worked very well in this story. It made the entire stalking concept that much more frightening. You referenced Freddy Krueger in this story, and rightfully so. After all, what is more frightening than being stalked in your dreams.

What needs to be banished back to hell:

-All around I don't have much critique for this. It was well written and well executed.

-I would have liked to have gotten more information on the cult itself. I think that would have made for a good second plot to go along with the protagonist's descent into madness.

-The ending was a bit predictable. I knew the protagonist was going to meet some sort of mental illness related death almost right away. I would have liked to have seen you challenge yourself a bit more as a writer, and give your protagonist some degree of a fighting chance.

In the end, this was a great pasta. I enjoyed it from start to finish. A superb telling of dark horror. Well done.
