BABY’S BREATH is an absorbing, supernatural thriller that delivers a frightening and chilling tale. The script does a good job in creating a compelling mystery. The plot immediately engages and maintains one’s attention from the opening scene to the very last scene.
The main heroine is thrust into an enthralling life and death situation to bring justice to her twin sister’s killer. The goal is clear and the danger is high. The script provides an intense mystery that easily pulls in the audience. Visual storytelling is well crafted and delivers the frights (the visual of Jessica and her calling out “Maaa!) The script is worthy of consideration.

However, the audience already knows he’s been framed, so there’s little tension in the reveal that he has the phone (the audience saw it). Consider creating a real suspect that gets arrested or is suspected and then maybe is killed.
Jamieson is a typical killer, but as stated, his motivation feels very
