A paranormal investigator, injured and trapped in a bed, can only survive with help from an unscrupulous arsonist, a flesh-eating hound or the unwelcomed spirits he?s been hired to chase!
Good points, both. This arsonist is a probably really a burglar, and while I agree, they are usually "unscrupulous" either way, this one is particularly lacking in whatever ethics fellow arsonists and/or burglars might normally have!

The “injured and trapped” part WAS tricky (he’s NOT bedridden, in the standard sense of the word), because after he takes a shower in his client’s house, he breaks his leg in the bath, crawls to the bedroom, and falls into the bed, which in turn, swallows him up and traps him (or at least he thinks it does). Whether or not the bed, the hound, or the ghosts are real or in his imagination, is part of the mystery and fun of the project- I think!
The logline probably needs some work, but I simply wrote it when I posted it- all in one sitting. For a first effort, it’s probably not TOO bad!

I'd say it was a bit more than that, wouldn't you? The premise that super heroes are "pressed back into action"? Not saying it is a negative, but I read super hero loglines everyday, and simply the fact that they include "super heroes" does not make me automatically think of "The Incredibles", a movRead more

Not saying it is a negative, but I read super hero loglines everyday, and simply the fact that they include “super heroes” does not make me automatically think of “The Incredibles”, a movie I haven’t even seen, no more than a shark movie logline makes me immediately think of “Jaws”. I believe I’m a bit more sophisticated in my judgments than that.
But, on that point, you can certainly disagree. Good luck!

Love the premise. Might find another way to express "old, terrible super heroes". Perhaps super-villians, or the "not-so-super" characters, but don't use super heroes twice. I think it's an excellent concept. Is it too similar to "The Incredibles", perhaps (I never saw that all the way through)?
