Disillusioned to the world around him following the rejection from his crush, an introverted youth finds solace in an online community; however, as the site becomes an echo chamber for hateful rhetoric, his spiritual ennui morphs into a violent ideology.

Sorry, what is ennui? I?m figuring if I don?t know others won?t.
What violent ideology? The first thing I think about is terrorusm but I see this is a horror, so guessing it?s something else.
What is the lead character’s goal?
As Richiev said.? The logline sets up a situation for a plot but doesn’t follow through with a plot.? As a result of coming under the influence of the violent ideology, what does he do, what becomes his objective goal?
This sounds more like a good setup (or even first half) to a dramatic or dark coming of age tale, not a horror story. If so, consider starting the next attempt by glossing over most of this one. For example, “After being influenced with a hateful ideology, a disillusioned fifteen year-old…”
If it’s character-driven, then it may be more about what he deals with than an objective he actively seeks to achieve. Like, how his family and friends react to the change in him.
