I see two stories in this logline. The man who has lost his wife, horribly, and becomes a killer himself, and the story of his wife’s killer. I think the last line should reflect on that.
… when I first read it, I thought it was a comedy with him thinking his only logical choice being something ridiculously over-the-top. If you are handling this straight, then I’d agree with mmckean.
by stating it was a logical choice was more an implication of his mental state. making the statement was more a reference to the fact he had psychopathic tendencies before the murder. tried to mull it over to see howicould phrase the idea in such a way that makes sense. thanks for the mention though! hopefully it’ll get the brain moving towards maybe a cleaner statement
I like the idea of him wearing the faces of his victims. It reminds me a little of my story, but I would take out the logical choice part. A man becoming a monster after his wife is murdered isn’t a logical choice. A logical choice would be tracking down the killer and finding a way to cope with her death, in my opinion.
Just something to think about.
