First of all, this sounds like a very commercial genre and a fun ride in a tiny coastal town. If I had a criticism I would say your logline is too vague. What is the unique hook that makes this stand out from other psycho thrillers? And don't be afraid to give away the best part. Also, saying that he "stangled the town" makes me think he physically wrings the town's neck. How is this possible? Are you saying he somehow isolates the townsfolk from the rest of the world? Or is it just that he damages trade? Finally, the last part of the logline sounds slick. but doesn't add anything about the story itself. Who is the protagnist, and who is the antagonist? What is the protagonist's goal? What obstacles stand in his or her way? At the moment, it sounds like the protagonist is the psycho - which could be interesting. But if it's somebody else, make them the subject of the sentence and also make them distinctive in some way. Overall, I think that if you can make it unique, this has the potential to be a very claustrophobic, tense thriller - or a very dark comedy, depending on which direction you take it.
