Synopsis:

A private military contractor unleashes a bioengineered zombie that can turn invisible on the city. An untrusting teenager named Charlotte rushes to leave an apartment complex before her estranged dad, Brian, arrives to spend time with her. They hear people screaming around the complex. Before a screaming woman can tell Brian what’s wrong, a Phantom bites her. Charlotte and Brian try to escape in her car, but the Phantom destroys the engine. The woman turns into a Phantom, and both Phantoms attack Charlotte and Brian.

Charlotte and Brian run into the apartment, and the Phantoms get inside. Brian tells Charlotte to hide in a closet so she’ll be safe while he kills the Phantoms. She doesn’t trust him that she’ll be safe, but she eventually agrees to hide. He kills the Phantoms. Charlotte and Brian flee the complex to find her mom, escape the city, and make it to his brother’s underground shelter.

Potential: Feature script and/or series (TV, web, or limited)

Sounds like a story I'd like to read but I want to know what differentiates it from the horde of other zombie stories. Is it the "invisible" part? If so, perhaps a bit more on that in the logline.

L. Tom Deaver

It's a great logline. I'd just like to see more.

Thanks for rating, Marcos.

Thanks for the rating, Christine.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks for the rating and the suggestion, L. Tom. Yes, the invisible part separates this story from other zombie stories. There's a business behind the zombies, but that's for the feature script and/or the series.

Maurice Vaughan

Maurice Vaughan It sounds really interesting. If you were to choose, what format do you think you'd have it in?

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks for rating, Thomas Moore. Right now, the script is a short, but I've been working to turn it into a feature.
