When his son is taken by a monster into another dimension, a withdrawn divorcee must venture through the portal to bring him back.

As yqwertz asked.? Why of all the 7 billion people in the world,? does the monster seize that boy?
And what is the implicit congruent character flaw of the mother in the face of the crisis? The congruent character flaw in “Nemo” is that the father has become risk aversive as a result of the trauma of losing the rest of his family.? The egg that hatched Nemo was the only one to survive the attack.? Which intensified the father’s emotional investment in his son’s welfare (and by proxy, the emotional investment of the audience). And to rescue Nemo, the father must? do the very thing he doesn’t want to do–take risks, bigger and bigger risks. That heightened emotional investment explains why he was able to overcome his fears and take those risks.

First of all, I think you have an interesting premise.
Second, my standard m.o. is to read loglines literally, for what they actually say, not what I think the writer meant to say.? I can’t read your mind; I can only read what you have written.
Now then: taking your logline at face value, it says she covers it up… and then she’s blackmailed.? So obviously, she hasn’t covered it up.? If she had, there would be no threat of black mail.? So which is it?
I think it’s safe to leave her cover up attempt unstated, implied because that would be the likely human behavior for the genre.? My suggested version says there happened to be one witness and he leverages his knowledge to blackmail her.
Blackmail her in what way?? ?I’m not sure what you mean by “insatiable”.? The world connotes an appetite, a desire that can’t be satisfied.? Is he demanding sexual favors as payment for his silence?? That would certainly be deeply troubling for her, and reason enough why she would want to kill him.? In what way does his blackmail threaten her life?

One other thought/question:? what are the stakes?? Why must she stop being a wallflower?
What’s so wrong with being a wallflower?? Not everyone can be the life of the party, the center of attention, the flaming extrovert.? Not everyone wants to be.
And there is as much to be said against being a narcissist who craves to? be in the spotlight 24/7 as the wallflower who cravenly hugs the wall 24/7.
What is the tangible/visible penalty or loss if she fails to perform in the spotlight?? ?What is the tangible/visible reward or payoff if she succeeds?
And as Art House flicks usually have a more sensible take on human nature, sometimes a brutally? honest pov on life, how realistic is it to be believe that a couple of hours in the spotlight can cure? the “character flaw” of being a wallflower?
