Imprisoned by a cannibalistic backwoods family, two runaway bank robbers must team up with their own hostages – to get out alive and with their money.

ORIGINAL LOGLINE: Two wanted bank robbers must team up with their hostages when they become prisoners to cannibalistic hillbillies.

INTENTION: on the run/wanted/to be free/to get out with the money and their lives.
OBSTACLE: trapped/ facing an evil far worse than them.

Original logline:

Two wanted criminals on the run from New Mexico must team up with their hostages when they come across cannibalistic hillbillies in the backwoods of Texas.

-Chopped off the locations. Not needed.

-Made them bank robbers so you know they want to get out with the money.

– “To come across” is too vague. We need to know they will become trapped.

Another logline/a bit more vague:

Two criminals must team up with their hostages to survive an escalating ordeal with backwoods cannibals.

I’ll try this again…

When they are taken prisoner by a cannibalistic backwoods family, two runaway bank robbers must team up with their own hostages – in order to get out alive and with their money.

I’ll chop that down too…
