When his abusive stepfather tortures him for wrecking his Harley Davidson, a boy enlists in a underground fight club to toughen up and confront him.
"Actually,?I think?the Harley is an important detail. ?Harleys have a cult status; it?s a motorcycle that many bikers don?t just own, they fiercely identify with. ? I?ve never seen a man with a tattoo for a Suzuki or a Honda or a BMW, ?but if I?ve seen one, I?ve seen hundreds of men proudly brandedRead more

That is true, but I don’t think that was really FFF’s point. I think he was really saying that what the boy does isn’t what should be in the logline, but remove it and use what the father does as the inciting incident. So, to me it’s good in the story but it could be removed from the logline.
For example: When his abusive stepfather hammers a nail into his hand, a boy joins an underground fight club to toughen up and confront him.?(~23 words)
But I suppose it’s actually fine either way. :

“Perhaps if the MC is in a wheel chair or agoraphobic his obstacle would make his story more interesting/original, or what if the killer had a unique method of berrying people alive so the MC has only a few days to find the victims before they suffocate.”
See lessThe fact that he’s not a cop is what is the challenge. He doesn’t have training, weapons, or resources to take on a seasoned killer. Giving him a disability would make the story less believable, because of his lack of training and disability combined. .
It seems to differ in that it’s not a mystery at all; he knows who did it and is trying to stop him. He may have to figure out where he’s going and such, but as the genre is labelled ‘Horror’ it seems more horror than police procedural.
Besides, it is similar to an established idea, the police procedural, yet it is different. While maybe you have run dry on standard police types(I don’t even watch procedural so I know how you feel), studios are still looking for them. It different enough to be a bit unique but familiar enough to probably not be considered a risk.
I think making the killer unique is probably the way to go.?
