I like the structure of your logline, Amanda Jane Stern, but maybe make it more Horror. I read your logline without seeing that it was a Horror script, and I thought it was a Romance Drama.

The new logline matches the genre better, Amanda Jane Stern.

Three suggestions:

Change "a young" to "a ___________ (the main adjective of her personality/that she shows in the story)."

Change "as she tries to push back against" to "as she pushes back against." I think "as she pushes back against" sounds better and it's less words.

I think "finds herself in a terrifying spiral" is vague. Maybe explain that in more detail.
