    Trapped inside a deadly house of mirrors, a copy-cat killer suffering double vision becomes the original killers next victim.

    It feels like the logline is your hook. It feels like a good first scene: you just dropped your hero into a nasty situation... and I'm with him...

    It feels like the logline is your hook. It feels like a good first scene: you just dropped your hero into a nasty situation… and I’m with him… I’m in that house of mirrors with a killer stalking me… and… now what are we going to do about it?

    This hero seems to be waiting around for things to happen to him: he’s trapped, he suffers, he becomes a victim. If a hero is passive, then it isn’t quite his story yet.

    As it stands the original killer is the hero. He’s probably the guy who trapped the copy-cat, and he’s definitely is the guy trying to kill the copycat.

    In reference to that aside (“suffering double vision”). For me that adjective phrase just doesn’t work. It feels retrofitted into the sentence, and only makes sense after I glanced over at the title.

    I am worried that the whole killer stalking in a house of mirrors has been done to death and is past parody? Even the Simpson’s had joked about it in an episode (but Homer gets shot immediately, in a play on that whole cliche).

    After the gruesome murder of his wife, a man takes the only logical choice he has; become the monster that destroyed his life. wearing the faces of his victims, the town goes into a frenzy to figure out who is the man behind the masks.

    ... when I first read it, I thought it was a comedy with him thinking his only logical choice being something ridiculously over-the-top. If you are handling this straight, then I'd agree with mmckean.

    When a talented college football kicker goes undrafted, he falls into the world he has been trying so hard to get away from, the mob.

    Personally, this logline isn't grabbing me. The hero is too passive. He seems spineless. It's about things either being done to him (being undrafted) or things happening to him (falling). I guess the hero's goal isn't clear to me either. I guess the story is about him trying to make the college teamRead more

    I guess the hero’s goal isn’t clear to me either. I guess the story is about him trying to make the college team, then at the very end, he’s undrafted and joins the mob? (Or is the story mostly about what he does after he has already joined the mob?)
