THE DIARY OF KATE THE RIPPER
By Eddy Sanchez

GENRE: Mystery, Horror
LOGLINE:

Medication keeps Mary’s alter-ego, Kate, at bay. A brutal attack awakens Kate's thirst for revenge one night. Completely unaware of her ancestry, Mary is the granddaughter of Jack the Ripper.

SYNOPSIS:

In a post Coronavirus world, wearing a face mask and gloves aren’t the only concerns of Mary, who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder and unbeknown to her is the granddaughter of the infamous serial killer Jack The Ripper. Mary finds refuge with her psychotherapist, Dr. Feldman, who prescribes Mary medicine to keep her evil alter-ego Kate at bay. Mary is terrified of the damage Kate would cause if she resurfaces.

Mary gets a job at a coffee shop, owned by Fiona, who becomes a close friend and mother figure. One night, Mary walks herself home and comes across a group of thugs led by O’Connor - the town's crime boss who has most of the cops on his payroll. She is cornered and raped, awakening Kate and pushing her to the forefront of Mary’s consciousness. Now thirsting for the taste of revenge, Kate meticulously plans and executes the murders of the men who attacked her, and uses their blood to write their names in Jack the Ripper’s old diary.

Meanwhile, Mary develops a romantic relationship with Detective John who is pursuing Kate's trail of dead bodies. While this is going on, Kate realizes she’s being controlled by an evil demon who wants to eventually take over both her and Mary for good.

Will Mary and Kate be able to come together to fight the demon?

Will John turn Mary in when he finds out it is her alto-ego who’s been killing the thugs?

Hi Eddy! My advice for you would be to condense the logline a bit. It's optimal to make it one sentence, at most two. For your logline, I'd suggest something like this, "When Mary is brutally attacked, her multiple personality disorder is triggered, and her alter ego Kate awakens thirsty for revenge."

I hope this gets made - I think this would resonate with a lot of film goers.
