Can somebody kindly proof read this para?

I still don't eat lobsters because the way lobsters have to be cooked. They have to be boiled alive which is horror movie come to life. I do know it's because of certain enzymes that spoil the meat if the lobster is sliced with a knife but still I think it's inhumane to cook them alive. And contrary to the common misconception, Yes crustaceans do feel pain.

Thanks.

I used HAVE TO BE COOKED because if you cook them other wise they spoil, Is it still grammatically wrong even if this is what I was thinking?

I used WHICH IS HORROR MOVIE COME TO LIFE because I was speaking generally i.e not about, say the lobster I cooked yesterday but generally when lobsters are cooked its horror movie come to life or do we always have to use an "a" in

It was not grammatically wrong at all; I am editing for style.
Dib do we always have to use an "a" in sentences like these?
