DEAD LIST EXECUTIVE BLURB: My obsession with cults (especially an LA-based wellness cult) had me super excited about this one and that's what grabbed me and kept me reading. I thought the tone was effective and consistent throughout. By far this had my favourite popcorn movie monster in a script I've read for the list so far. Very memorable character too. I thought this was fun, with over-the-top effective and memorable gore and some satisfying visual horror. Also a quick read! — Executive Reader Jennifer Grand (Black List x MGM Blind Deal winner)
