The stakes really don’t feel that high in your logline, most people can hold their breath for at least a couple of minutes. I obviously haven’t read the script, but I would encourage you to come up with a better logline. This doesn’t make me want to read the script.
It begins with a fade sound in a hallway of a house. The fade sound turns into music.
While you are in the hallway the angle turns to an open door which is the bathroom.
You see a shower with a curtain around it. And then the song you realize is jailhouse rock by Elvis Presley.
You get closer and closer to the curtain and then right before you get to it you then change to JONATHAN’S face inside the shower. His face is full of fright and the song gets louder
