    When a crew of mismatched oilfield workers stay late to finish a job in the middle of nowhere, they are attacked by bloodthirsty monsters. They’ll have to band together to fight through blood guts, and teeth if they want to live to see another sunrise.

    Full disclosure: I hate vampires. Still, what is the purpose of using a common monster? Is it a metaphor, people sucking oil from the ground are like vampires sucking the life out of people? That may not be direct enough or sharp enough. The Nosferatu type is a minor twist. Creatures that need the oil to live seem more in sync with the idea or original creatures unearthed by the drilling. Bottomline, is ‘vampires in oilfield’ the best hook?

    What is the purpose of the protag’s money troubles? If anything, it’s a detail for the script as the logline has enough with the predicament of the vampires. First day of work would add extra conflict in terms of her being unfamiliar with things, but is that enough? Is the oil drilling a collective “sin” that the protag is part of or is she, say, an environmental monitor who opposes some of the company’s practices? The latter creates new conflict, between the protag and the others, so, if not this, think of something else about her that would add significant conflict.

    Clarify the size of the oilfield because some are small and some are massive. A location would help, the country or US state.

    As above, fill in the blank of what she must do, aside from the assumed and even if the plan starts at the Midpoint. Get to a vehicle or phone? Gather everyone into a safe place while they await help that was summoned?

    My two cents.

    Is the idea being developed or is this already written?Even with four characters, one is still technically the protag or has the most significant arc so keep it from her pov.

    Is the idea being developed or is this already written?

    Even with four characters, one is still technically the protag or has the most significant arc so keep it from her pov. Maybe you can state the others in general or it simply doesn’t belong in the logline if they’re a subplot.

    Make sure the others are needed because it’s usually best for one protag to represent the experiences of many.? Like 12 Years A Slave, the movie wouldn’t have been as good? had even one other character experienced a different form of the same predicament. (We see a few in Act I, not Act II.)

    This sounds more character-driven than plot-driven and having to make money is enough to hold it all together. Clarify that she has to work and that it’s not about the husband sending money.

    To avoid the wrong impression, avoid “force.”? Consider something like, “…parents send her away….”

    And if the story is about solving the murder, tell us more about the friend and the world of his that the protag will explore.
