For the time it was made in, it was surprisingly advanced. But, it has this strange, inherent awkwardness I can't place. The premise of spiders causing fears with their bite is basic but developed to an interesting point. The dialogue feels as if it should be generic, but it has a certain rhythm and consistency to it that makes it believable. Even the logs at the end feel like they should just be waived off as generic torture for the sake of torture, but it still kept me invested and interested. Albeit, if the nightmares are from the affected subject's perspective, I don't know how she could see her face getting melted off unless it's some weird dream perspective.
I think what makes the article deserve the grade is what makes the dialogue good - the rhythm and consistency that isn't broken, but kept together throughout the article. It creates a genuine style that makes the article a good read.
