Hi,
I see two potential stories here based on how you’ve worded your logline.
1. A recovering drug addict and his down and out girlfriend go to a cabin to help get over their addictions only to find a stash of drugs, sending them into a downward spiral of drug abuse/psychosis and over doses – hence it turns deadly
2. A recovering drug addict and his down and out girlfriend go to a cabin to help get over their addictions only to learn it is owned by the former dealer who he owes money to and must escape the cabin when he arrives unexpectedly – hence it turns deadly
I’m not sure which you are going for but it might be worth clarifying so that people know why the weekend turns deadly – are they in the murderous hands of a drug dealer or their own idle hands.
Also, you just need the word “the” between ‘in’ and ‘woods’ – ‘in the woods’.
Good luck 🙂
Thanks for your comments. I could go either direction with the script.
I agree with wilsondownunder. Remove the needlessly vague “a weekend in the woods turns bloody (this is marketing stuff, and isn’t needed in your logline)” section, and what you’ve got is a setup, but no goal, antagonist or stakes.
“When a recovering addict and his girlfriend discover their wilderness getaway cabin contains his dealer’s drug stash …”
Now tell us what happens.
