Seeking Advice on my Horror Feature Screenplay
Hey guys. So, currently I’m deep in preparation for writing my feature screenplay. I’ve got a strong idea of the plot, inciting incident, low point and climax but for some reason it’s been very hard for me to actually start writing the thing. Here’s some things that I’m having trouble with.
I’m struggling to find a personality for my protagonist, like I know what he does but I don’t know how he acts while he does it - does this make sense ?
Im struggling with what happens in the script between the beats I’ve come up with - for example I know what happens on the first few pages and I know what the inciting incident is but I can’t figure out what happens between them.
My story is a body horror/mystery centering around a demonice possession of a family
I’m aiming for a combination of the mystery solving from “The Ring”, the terror and bleakness from “Hereditary” and the body horror from “Slither” with the tone being very dim but building up to a heroic final battle in the end where the protagonist fights the evil and wins.
I guess what I need is some advice on how to bring all my ideas, beats and rambling and turn them into a finished product.
Thanks for listening to my rambling - love y’all ✌️😎
