Vince meets Susie at the gate while she's emptying out her purse looking for her ticket. Vince helps her find it but brushes the encounter off as a one-time thing. I could easily add some sort of conflict at the beginning. What I am doing differently is have Susie go after Vince, since...

Updated to to reflect the airport encounter. https://drive.google.com/file/d/187jWMZqEW4kxdOn4Q-aD67pcCfuPwKiE/view?usp=drivesdk

I agree. Like I said, I've written some of this already but under different circumstances. Some of the exchanges will carry over to this new version. I've linked the existing version so you can get a taste of my style. I want the situation to be "we're stuck here together, might as well make...

We're all familiar with the "Before" trilogy, right? I'll assume so. Following in that lane, I'm in the process of writing something similar and I wanted to get a couple of opinions. It's a simple story, but I wanted to gauge some reactions off of what I have so far... Vince - 40, slight male...

I'm very curious what you have in two pages that would be enough for a complete film.

Regardless of length and amount of dialogue, you need to format this thing into a proper screenplay format. If you hand a filmmaker a couple pages with of blocked text, with no obvious action lines or dialogue tags, you'll have a hard time taken seriously. No excuse to NOT do this since it's...

Subject matter aside, English doesn't seem to be your strong suit...so I'd say no, do not write this in English. Besides that, even the most insensitive or controversial stuff can be handled well.

Horror is all about creating a mood that induces a certain type of feeling/reaction. You can do this without the grotesque visuals.

Reverse the roles, go the route of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle or Poison Ivy. That'll show 'em.

Monster is another one

Yup, you should give some info regarding your character. I've written a bunch of stuff where the main character isn't a traditional good dude who you'd want to route for.

Don't go for likable, go for relatable. See movies like Nightcrawler if you want a recent movie where the main character is a "bad" guy.

Remember in Heat when Pacino and De Niro sit across from one another and flat out tell each other their plans.

Check out the trailer for sure. It’s one of the better thrillers from the past couple years for sure.

Yea I get what you're saying. I've said from the beginning I don't want Dale to find her ALIVE anyway. Three Billboards had too many characters, which is another thing I'm trying to avoid. Have you seen Sweet Virginia? That was a great small town thriller.

I have a real hard time writing an outline due to basically condensing everything into just a couple of pages. I'm more of the ilk that will list out plot points and fill out the "in-between" stuff as I go along, then maybe change things if I can come up with anything better. As it is now...

Thanks for checking it out. Yea, I admit the intro is a bit long winded but then again it’s easier to cut than it is to add. I still need to introduce the dynamic between the sheriff and Dale. I was thinking that when Dale goes to the gas station, he’ll learn that avoiding the sheriff might be...

Pretty substantial update. These 18 pages follow Dale into town and introduce the idea of the sheriff being suspicious of him. Dale also visits the witness who called the tip line regarding the missing girl. I have a couple of concerns...The first being that I took until page 16 to reveal Dale...

I’ve written an opening, 8 pages and sets up a couple things. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZPdTTK-XNlTOPzgi7NKFoQPZUdOHUU1D

I’m going to outline some key points today. I got some character biographies and personalities nailed down.
