When a British spy falls for a Nazi?s fianc?e, he jeopardises his assignment to thwart the Nazi?s uranium smuggling operation.
Agree with Leviathan. on the matter of specifying a date.? ?That may be necessary in a logline for a biographical or historical script.?

Agree with Leviathan. on the matter of specifying a date.? ?That may be necessary in a logline for a biographical or historical script.? But for a work of fiction, it is usually better to give a general time period unless the fictional story is embedded in a non-fictional event, such as? D-Day, the fall of Constantinople, the start of the Meiji Restoration.? Which does not appear to be the case with this story.

After struggling all day in a rugged, remote oilfield to win the respect of her male crew, a rookie female roughneck must fight all night to save them from vampires.

Not sure if this works as a logline, but it works in my (demented) mind as a story hook. The “vamping” as a gimmick to work out the relationship — I can see possibilities.
And vampires is the? generic, shorthand term for all blood-sucking monsters.? I don’t see how you can,or need,to? use another term? in the logline, one that nobody will understand.? Use other nomenclature in the story if you must, but stick with the shorthand in the logline.
Whatever.? I would pitch this as a story about feminist empowerment story that happens to be of the horror genre.? Just as “Get Out” is about? about race told as a horror story.
