Premise: GOOD

Structure: GOOD

Theme: FAIR

Yes, it is accurate.

The premise, which develops a typical hungry vampire story in a different and even fun situation.

It didn't exactly made me want to put the book down, but the book could have used more humor, considering the absurdity of the premise.

THE STORY RELIES A LITTLE BIT ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

Simply the premise, a deadly roller derby tournament against a gang of famished vampires. Nostalgia and horror elements intertwined.

It certainly could, especially among horror and comedy enthusiasts, if the adaptation invests further on the absurdity of the premise.

Maybe not the most recognized Awards out there, since the story is absurd and doesn't even try to take itself too seriously.

MEDIUM BUDGET

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE - A FILM THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS ONE IN SPIRIT, PUTTING A BUNCH OF OLDER SCOUTS TO FIGHT AGAINST A HOARD OF ZOMBIES. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS ONE IS AN ALL-OUT COMEDY RATHER THAN A HORROR FLICK. LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS - THE TITLE MIGHT SAY IT ALL, ANOTHER ABSURD IDEA TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE-HUNTING MOVIE.

The premise, intertwining a nostalgic roller derby rink with a vampire menace. To become even more unique, it could have further balanced the comedy with the horror and dramatic elements.

Regina is courageous.

Not exactly a rare gem. The development is still too traditional and predictable to match the absurdity of the premise.

CONSIDER

Especially because the premise, the main idea behind the story, is very promising and could be adapted into a really fun movie, that could attract attention especially from a younger audience. Another interesting factor is that the author doesn’t concede to commonplace and, instead of making his characters teenagers, builds them as young adults, some of them close to 30 years old, an interesting and usually unexplored age for this kind of narrative. Other than that, he also writes in an effective manner, succeeding to play with the reader’s expectations and retain his attention for most of the time. However, there are also some issues that could become a source of concern in an adaptation. Some of the characters, as well as the situation in general, deserve better development, one that would make us feel like we really know this place and these people. As it is now, even though there certainly is some character development, it’s still a bit hard to connect to their pains and struggles. Furthermore, there is a clear lack of comic elements, which would be something expected from a common horror narrative, but that sounds somewhat strange in a story with this weird premise. It doesn’t mean it should become an all-out comedy, but sometimes it feels like the fun potential of the narrative could be better explored. Also, the end is clearly open for sequels, with hints of a future franchise, but there is no actual hook for a next installment, which would be pretty great in order to enhance expectations. In a general manner, however, the narrative does have potential for a good and fun adaptation, that could be wildly successful with a more light-minded public.
