    I'm now thinking that we should include the fact that her husband was the sole survivor of previous missions to the lighthouse. But it's hard, because in this film initially a lot of elements seem unrelated. And I'm ignoring the 3 time frames of the movie...

    Pretty solid logline. Structurally not too different from our example for Jaws.

    This logline really only sets up the Inciting Incident. So rather than promising a 100 minute movie, it gives us the first 15 minutes. A logline needs to hold the promise of a full-length film. To fix this, you need to answer the question DPG asks above: "What MUST he do".
