Just finished watching Stephen King's movie "A Good Marriage" about a woman who finds out her husband is a serial killer. Not brilliant - lots of room for improvement, with or without a gender reversal.
Hi Nadir, this is a cool premise, but adding some detail about what happens to the man after he discovers that his wife is a serial killer would make it much stronger. You could start, "After a man discovers that his wife is a serial killer, ..." and then add in something from the rest of the story.
Juan DnDink. I just misunderstood you at first. Naturally, there are a lot of similar films and genres.There are many movie plots similar to mine. But my story is still written differently, and there are many original moments in it.
The logline gives no indication of what happens when the man discovers his wife is a serial killer. Something like this would work better: "When a happily married man discovers his wife is a serial killer, he tries to rehabilitate her without letting on that he knows about her crimes.

good first try, maybe research what it is and try again - a logline is like a hook! 25 words or less best of luck https://screencraft.org/2020/02/26/the-simple-guide-to-writing-a-logline

I like the logline - but perhaps consider changing "but then" to "until" - it may flow better. Good luck!
