GENRE: Horror, Thriller
LOGLINE:
A murderer’s victim re-incarnates as his child and begins to exact her revenge from the womb.
Think Rosemary’s Baby crossed with The Omen.
Okay, so the concept is cool, but the logline itself needs work. From my knowledge, a logline should state three clear details. Who is the Main Character (MC), what is the Conflict, and what are the Stakes? From what you have above, I am not sure who your MC is. Additionally, I do not see any clear Stakes.
If the killer is the MC, what is his goal and what is he going to lose if he fails?
If the victim is the MC, what is her goal and what are her stakes for failing?
In either case, the conflict remains the same. The Victim has been reborn with the intent of revenge.
If I may add a personal note, I think it would be really cool if the Victim made a deal with a deity to kill her killer in exchange for something. Perhaps if she fails to do so by X time, she dies again? Idk, just a thought. Not really sure how an unborn baby is going to enact revenge here but I am curious how that might unfold lol.
3-star rating for now. Let me know if you change or edit anything. I would be happy to drop by again!
