After a twisted psychopath is murdered, an evil entity targets the current lineage of those responsible to husk, and kill them to sate his revenge.
"After a twisted psychopath is murdered, an evil entity targets the current lineage of those responsible to husk, and kill them to sate his revenge." I would recommend doing away with the old english "sate"- satisfy, satiate, fulfilled, cloy, content, pall, quench... I'm not sure the fact that the vRead more

I’m not sure the fact that the victims being kin to the original killers is necessary for the log. The “hook”, I think, is the method of the killing- the husking of the victim’s skin. Since it is the hook (IMO) I would highlight that.
The ancestral part of the story will envelope as the story is told. If it takes place in Kansas or some mid-west town, it will be more shocking and also ironic, due to the nature of harvesting corn, their main crop. I added “alive” to make it that much more horrific. I certainly hope it IS a horror concept, and not a comedy…
“A (adjective- unwitting Kansas?) farmgirl is hunted by the spirit of a tortured criminal, who seeks revenge by “husking” the skin of his victims- alive.”
Good luck with the project. Sounds like fun and games 🙂

I think Amy is right. Having a movie "greenlit" with a not-too-similar concept doesn't affect anyone else's concepts or projects, especially if they are written well. Fact is, the difference in THIS hook compared to "White House Down" is miles: no one to my knowledge has written a viable concept invRead more
I think Amy is right. Having a movie “greenlit” with a not-too-similar concept doesn’t affect anyone else’s concepts or projects, especially if they are written well. Fact is, the difference in THIS hook compared to “White House Down” is miles: no one to my knowledge has written a viable concept involving the First Lady. Not only is the tite of WHD a direct rip of “Black Hawk Down”, there are dozens of WH-being-taken-over stories, and one great story in “Air Force One” where the President himself is the hero. Don’t forget “Independence Day”, where the President himself is a fighter pilot to the rescue.
With all of the attention Michelle Obama is getting because of her physical and imposing strength and physique, and the need for strong female action stars to replace the Stallones, Arnold’s and Willis’ of the world, I can’t help but be completely jealous of not having this concept first. And, that is always the mark of a great concept; when a roomful of executives say “Why didn’t we think of that?”

"A family of werewolf hunters are manipulated and systematically brought to the brink of extinction by those they hunt." I like the concept.

“A family of werewolf hunters are manipulated and systematically brought to the brink of extinction by those they hunt.”
I like the concept. I agree with “manipulated” as being an odd choice of words, unless, in fact, they are manipulated as in “mind controlled” or something along those lines. If that’s the case, it might behoove you to tell us HOW they are manipulated. If you mean tricked, stalked and slaughtered, those three verbs are probably better suited for a logline.
“The hunters become the hunted when a pack of ravenous werewolves chase down a wolf-killing team one-by-one…”
There’s still an ending that needs to be developed. A good twist to a old classic.
