Next scene: Marcel is coming out from the mansion with the two girls who are still senseless. Meanwhile fire spreads the whole mansion.
Last scene: The other girl wakes up but Marcel is still trying to recover Lily's conscious. In last shot Lily opens her eyes & sees Marcel and now she gives him a big smile.

THE END

Judge #1's verdict -

Quote:
There is a certain amount of cliche here, but plenty of novelty as well. There are enough elements that you can definitely see in a Todd Browning movie and the perversity you see in 30s horror. I feel it is enough of the 30's and there was enough work exhibited here that I feel you didn't do one of my favorite directors a disservice.

A hardearned B+.

I think this ups the game and shows your knowledge of and appreciation of vintage horror. You've done your homework for a long time and it shows.

I give roshiq a C.

I struggled to finish reading it. I didn't care about the characters at all. Not a movie I would spend money on.

Judge #3's verdict -

Quote:
This is a very good proposal. It would make a good, if somewhat tame, film by Browning. The subject matter is appropriate for the director, and Lugosi's role is similar to his turn as Chandu the Magician. You have a tendency to describe or tell things which could be shown. I may sound like a broken record, saying this in almost every piece of feedback I give, but film is a visual medium. You need to show things as much as possible, to keep the audience interested.

For instance, we meet Lugosi's character first sitting down backstage after his show. Why not show us a bit of his act, so we can see what a great magician he is? You may say it wasn't that way in the story, but that's why it's called an ADAPTATION.

GRADE: B

OVERALL GRADE - B-
