3.0

The writing in the "intersitial" sections was excellent. 

Disappointed that most of what happens with the wedding guests is offscreen and we don't find out

if they end up alive or dead.

While I usually don't mind open endings esp in horror, this instance didn't work for me. It felt abrupt and unsatisfying.
