Hey Screenwritingcompass…

Informative article. Thanks for this.

Just wondering, since everything I write belongs to the thriller genre.

Based on the following logline and synopsis of my script “Marcus and Faith”, would you say my script is a dramatic thriller or crime thriller or a romantic thriller? Most Readers really get frustrated and angry when they read this script. But some liked it and called the script a dark/romantic thriller.

What’s your opinion?

LOGLINE of “Marcus and Faith” —

Painkiller addict falls in love with a Broadway bound - Faith. Only to find himself embroiled in murder, corruption and twisted sexuality.

SYNOPSIS of “Marcus and Faith” —

A shock comic, Marcus Anderson (26), with a dodgy past and now addicted to painkillers, dreams of settling down. When he meets Faith, his high-school crush, now a beautiful mysterious dancer (26), a torrid romance ensues and he thinks she’s going to be his savior. But Marcus does not realize that Faith is hiding some dirty family secrets — secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of prostitution, human trafficking, and murder that spans a godforsaken criminal underworld of twisted businessmen, corrupt cops, psychopathic thugs and a father and daughter story more disturbing and dangerous than anything Marcus was ever prepared for. Not even his painkillers can prepare him for this family.

Thanks,
Benjamin Ray
