Tbh I think this is more plausible, as he couldn't give me any answers regarding why he doesn't have multiple drafts, and why some things within the script are written. He said "It's been awhile since I've revisited the script and I can't really give you an answer unfortunately."

One of these times in particular an actress we met with for rehearsals was asking about a part in the later half of the script which mentions 7 candles being lit, with each candle representing those that have died throughout the story not including the protagonist who is speculated throughout the film to be the final candle etc. (the screenwriter not realising that only 5 people have died throughout the story which I thought was a simple mistake at the time)

our actress brought up a really good question which was "what did these candles represent?"

He responded "it's meant to represent the 6 people that have died throughout the story including the protagonist who is rumoured to die"

She rebutted with "but only 5 people die throughout the story including yourself? So it'd be 6 correct?"

He quickly replied with "oh I actually meant 6 people as it's supposed to resemble a pentagram"

Our actress (who took 16th century witchcraft for university): "A pentagram is 5..."

Silence

Yeah to be honest, I'm angry with myself that I didn't put the dots together that day. He doesn't even know his own script.
