After a primordial fungal outbreak on an Arctic oil rig, an overambitious district manager pushes to cover up the incident until he too is exposed. As the hospital becomes overrun by spore spreading rapists, he must battle his way to a lone survivor who may be the key to a cure.
Hi Michael. This is a vast improvement on the previous drafts as there is a clear link between all the elements and the log lines is well structured. I would reduce the word count to ease the read and change "...pushes to cover up the incident..." to a specific action as that is too vague for a readRead more
Hi Michael.

I would reduce the word count to ease the read and change “…pushes to cover up the incident…” to a specific action as that is too vague for a reader to understand exactly what he is doing.
The word “…rapists…” is confusing out of place and seams unrelated to the plot. I understand that this is part of the story but for the logline purposes better to omit it and reserve any of these descriptions for a synopsis.
My try:

Good advice above I would add though that even in the revised logline you havn't yet described a plot for a story rather as Richieve said still a situation.

But in short your salesman (no need for vacuum) needs something to happen to him (either someone else’s action or and event) to push him to want to achieve a tangible goal also best to have an obstacle for achieving it.
What makes him need the goal?
What is his goal?
How will he achieve it?
Hope this helps.
