HE'S THE BAD MAN
By Scott Whenman

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE: When a family moves into their new home, the children are haunted by an evil spirit that tries to snatch them while they sleep. Slowly the family unearth a dark secret about a certain man that was murdered on their grounds.

SYNOPSIS:

Darren Hardy wants the best for his family: no more city life. He wants to bring his children up in a safe environment.  The house they buy is perfect: it’s big, quiet, has lots of land and is far away from everything, hidden in the woods.  It doesn’t stay quiet for long, as his children start seeing an old man trying to get into their bedrooms at night. Lucy, Darren’s daughter, makes friends with a very strange young girl that only she can see. The girl warns Lucy that her family will be in danger unless they move far away.  When he moved his family, Darren didn’t know their new home held a dark secret. Everyone in the nearest town knew what had happened in the house, but none of them were brave enough to mention it.  The further Georgie, Darren’s wife, delves into the house’s past, the more dangerous it becomes. The presence of an evil spirit still lingers on and is trying to snatch the children Who is The Bad Man and what does he want?

If anyone has better suggestions, please feel free to express. Thank you.

Move should be moves. I'd delete "that comes for them." I think you need to give a bit more of a clue as to what the dark secret is.

Scott Whenman

Thanks for the advice, James.
