A wheelchair bound student and her friends fend off female zombies, whilst trapped in a cabin, however she soon discovers her friends murdered them – and are seeking revenge.
It’s a cool concept. Well done.
We’ve got a trapped scenario/crucible.
A unique character – there’s plenty of empathy for wheel-chair bound zombie fighters.?
A live or die scenario.
A fish out of water (she’s surrounded by zombies and murderers and she’s like the only normal one).
A dilemma – get killed by zombies or fight alongside the murderers.
A twist/hook – her friends are the murderers.
So yeah…
Good luck.

– So we’re missing some stakes/what happens if he doesn’t fight back.
Those guys above are right. I think you need to write down a few pages on your thing, what it’s about, what will or could happen. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on.
After that the logline will be a lot more precise and specific. You’ll be able to carve it down – and then it will look really fucking good.
Good luck.

Hi Nir Shelter,
I’m going to use my NEGATIVE TRAITS THESAURUS (anyone reading this who hasn’t got one – please run out and get a copy) to help you out.
The DiCaprio character is the main character. Billy Costigan I think?
Off the top of my head: he’s guarded, private, honourable (doesn’t he join the force because he doesn’t want to be associated with the bad guys? or his own blood ties?). Granted, honourable is not a flaw. But you could say he takes it to an extreme.? Again – not a flaw. I’d say obsessive – but I dunno, not really.
Anyways – from the book…
Confrontational. Dishonest. Evasive. Hostile.
Martyr – interestingly, the book has a different meaning. However – Billy does give himself fully over to this thing. His body and soul. His life. (But yeah – this isn’t a flaw, this is more out of hands.)
Nervous.
Manipulative – perhaps? This is more the Damon character. Colin, I think?
Nervous – definitely.
Paranoid – yep.
Workaholic – perhaps this one overall. He gives his life and soul to his work. He becomes violent and volatile to fit in and because he has to (or he else he’s fucked). What else? You could say “unethical” because he’s constantly blurring the lines between cop and criminal.
Worrywart – sure.
A lot of these could be applied to Donnie Brasco as well. I’d say WORKAHOLIC in both cases. Doesn’t Brasco continuously pick work over spending time with his wife and family? Good film – love the scene with the watch.
Good luck.
