Protagonist – hero with schizophrenia. His goal – to escape. Antagonist forces – his multiple personalities that laid traps around the house. I miss inciting incident. How did he got there? Apparently he walked there on his own as a different character and then “woke up?”
When a man?battling schizophrenia finds himself trapped inside an isolated house, thwarting escape, he must overcome series of traps designed by his other personalities that want to kill him.

This one has been haunting my brain for 10 days now. Which is a good sign, I guess, given the genre.
I have some quibbles over terminology raised in the discussion thread. (Technically he suffers from a multiple personality disorder, not schizophrenia; the two aren’t interchangeable).? But that aside I think it’s an intriguing concept, definitely a film I am curious to see how the narrative keeps the character — and the audience — in the dark for most of the movie.
In terms of how to phrase the logline, I am of a divided mind.? On the hand, the standard rule says never give away an important spoiler, specifically the Big Reveal, in a logline.? On the other hand, the most important must-have element in a logline is a good hook.? And in this story, the story hook is the Big Reveal — that it’s a conspiracy of multiple selves.
So which element is more important?? I have concluded that this is a case where having a good story hook trumps the “no spoiler” rule.
Best wishes with this story.? Hope to see it soon in a theater, or on a streaming service.
