Cursed

THE JADE by Mellany Cedeno is a short story about a trip to Mayan ruins. What could possibly go wrong? Two sisters get into a fight, which leads to one of them running off into the jungle and stumbling upon a cursed stone.

The premise is a great idea, but there is zero character development, which diminishes the impact the story could've had. Instead of horror, this is more like a family drama with a touch of the supernatural.

If more is done with the characters, I think this would make a good movie.

As always,
