After an intentional miscarriage a repressed wife succumbs to the machinations of a peculiar old couple, following them into a paranormal world where she must tame her darkest urges to win the control she desires.
I can see where guilt and depression resulting from the abortion would make her vulnerable to baleful influences. ?But "machinations" doesn't give me any idea of what these people have to offer that in desperation she would be attracted to as a remedy for what ails her. ?What is her objective goal tRead more
I can see where guilt and depression resulting from the abortion would make her vulnerable to baleful influences. ?But “machinations” doesn’t give me any idea of what these people have to offer that in desperation she would be attracted to as a remedy for what ails her. ?What is her objective goal that she thinks these people will help her achieve?
And, as noted, ?”darkest urges” is vague. ?What, specifically, are her darkest urges?

All very good points raised above.?Unfortunately, in my opinion, these points may severely mislead a writer working on a spec script.
Can a story with an ensemble cast work well in a horror movie? Yes, possibly.
Will it be harder to write a good script with an ensemble cast as appose?to a story with a single main character? Yes, definitely.
At no point has anyone suggested that a story with an ensemble cast can’t be interesting, and equally no one has suggested that a story with a main character can’t?be either. However, the VAST MAJORITY of stories in successful horror films that have been produced were told?from a dominant dramatic point of view belonging to a single character. The reasons for this have been discussed at length, so no need for further elaboration.
If an early career writer, or un produced writer to that matter, is writing a spec script, it would be highly recommended for them to offer up a story that increases the chances of success. Most producers won’t read a script by a mostly unknown writer and much less a risky script at that.
So I repeat one comment I made earlier in this thread, be very carful with this decision.

Interesting. If you were able to hint at more of the drama behind this particular group of people then I think it could be even more interesting. Right now, it sounds like a group of random actors being killed off, which is less interesting than if the group had some type of drama-filled?history....
