MEDIUM meets SEVEN meets ROSEMARY'S BABY
"Log Line: When murders surpass human cruelty.
Theme: Human will can defeat any kind of forces if its intentions are pure and it is strong enough at its heart to engage even the biggest evil.
Synopsis:
A young inspector is charged to investigate a peculiar murder. A serial killer kidnaps women and cuts out their emryos from their wombs in the course of a ritual. They don't find any traces or a logical motive, thus the inspecor, following her boss' advice, asks for outside help from a Seer, who already has helped to solve several inexplicable cases. With the help of the Seer they get to a warlock who is repsonsible for these ritual murders. The warlock has to collect seven embryos to become the one and only, moreover, the most powerful evil in the world. During the chase for the last fetus, the inspector turns out to be pregnant, and the only person who can help is the Seer..."

"Human will can defeat any kind of forces if its intentions are pure and it is strong enough at its heart to engage even the biggest evil."
Obviously written by someone who has never worked at an agency during pilot season...
Gee, I'm not quite clear on exactly who is helping the obviously inept inspector...is it the Seer?
The "one and only" what?
And just how do you "turn out" pregnant?
"When murders surpass human cruelty."
So much bad in one little, tiny sentence.
Time for another haiku
A serial killing abortionist strikes
Only the bowling pope can save us
Or drag king nancy drew
One thing I like about this query is that there are about ten words that just don't quite fit, like someone went a little too far down the list in the thesaurus. It sort of reads like a mad lib.
The other thing I like is how the inspector discovers she's pregnant during a chase. Talk about multi-tasking!
So, like, if they catch this warlock after he's collected the fetuses and kill him, then there won't be any evil left in the world, because he's the one and only? Am I reading that correctly?
"Fetuses: collect all seven!"
It's been a while since biology class, but what exactly is a woman's emryo?
If the "Seers" in movies like this are so good at solving crimes, why don't the "inspecors" use them on every case? If the warlock becomes the "one and only...evil in the world", won't he become by default the "most powerful", moreover, the ultimate evil in the world? If I assert my will with pure intentions and it is strong enough at its heart, will the forces of this query be defeated?
Hey Crazed_Writer, I
Get your schtick with haikus, but
You're doing them wrong
Why do I think this is a rewrite of one of those "what if a pro-choice mother could meet her would-be aborted child" queries?
And, by the way, please shoot in the head the next writer that confuses "logline" with "tagline."
"Log Line: When murders surpass human cruelty.
Sheesh!
A haiku is a poem
with five, then seven, then five words
but i no longer care
why am i writing haiku?
I am inspired by the shark king
he is my super hero
but now i must stop
I have discovered that i am pregnant
suprising, since i am male.
Sorry crazed_writer, it's 5/7/5 syllables (rather than words).
;-) Tam
"haiku" is a poem
with five, then seven, then five
syllables , you know
Oh, sorry, didn't see your post there, historyofmorning.
And how many syllables are there in "syllable"? I bet someone here knows. I don't. I'm foreign.
Just be glad i wasn't writing shakesperian prose.
"Is this crap i see before me?"
"Out dammned query out!"
"Human will can defeat any kind of forces if its intentions are pure and it is strong enough at its heart to engage even the biggest evil."
... and, remember kids, knowing is half the battle!
There are real limits to what can be done to reverse the damage caused by a lifetime of unhealthy living.
Satanism is so over. And the only ritual I've ever heard of that uses embryos is the one where one buries the results of a miscarriage under a sapling, to nourish it.
No crazy knife wielding fetus collecters at Pagan Unity this weekend. Maybe he was mad his script got rejected.
All the warlock has to do is collect the fetuses? And when he gets all seven, then what happens to them? Does he have to keep them in jars around his house to maintain his status as the most powerful evil? Or can he then dispose of them? What if another warlock collects 8 fetuses? Is this a kind of competition between warlocks? Oh, I could go on forever...
Very hot, I like for you guys to check out my site www.lovesbible.com it's very intense
Question: What is a QUERY? If this involves great ideas for movie and tv scripts, I have a trunkfull, but I've never known where to send them. Advice?
Tony Grant...What's "very hot"? Go away.
Citrus...A whole trunk-full? We'd really love to see your ideas. We're sure they're great and we'll be really, really nice. Promise.
"the chase for the last fetus"? Sounds like some warped PS2 game, maybe with Lara Big-boobs as the lead character:
"Lara defeats the biggest forces of evil with her human will and pure intentions, leading her into....THE CHASE FOR THE LAST FETUS!"
Beautiful.
So who impregnated the inspector? Nancy Drew in drag? Chickenfooted Sharky? Or is there something we don't yet know about those pesky bumpernuts...
Okay, I screwed up.
Eight syllables, not seven.
Yes, I miscounted.
NickG: Brilliant.
Tony: Are you the blue haired Date Girl or the Seven Windows Chick? If you're not either one, then we're not interested.
Citrus: If you don't know what a query is, then maybe you shouldn't submit one. Just a thought.
For the billionth time - "warlocks" only exist in the minds of D&D fanboys and kids who want to piss of their parents.
Which totally explains this query.
Those be some poo poo haikus.
in my spare time i've been collecting fetuses & now have a set of 5. so if i collect 2 more i'll be the one & only, moreover, the most powerful evil in the world? wow...& i thought they just really tied the room together.
I know it's totally wrong of me to say this, but wouldn't it be easier to go to an abortion clinic and steal aborted fetuses than to become a serial killing nut? Maybe he just enjoys the killing part... just a thought.
ewwww...just ewwwwww
This reminds me of that movie "Warlock"...oh..and that "Nightmare On Elm Street: Dream Child" movie where, at the end, Freddy is liked that wacked-out fetus looking thing that get's put back into his mother's stomach at the end...uh...yep....ewwwww
Katwoman - but with a slight I'm going to try and pull in 'hughlander', that matrial arts film (I think it was 'the one') where if you kill of your exixting selves in alternative universes you become more powerful, and maybe a little 'Buffy' - 'First Evil' .
I'm hoping this is just someone who pulled an all night movie marathon and fired off an email before passing out on the sofa....
Believe it or not, this seems to be a rip-off of this book:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060509554/qid=1114466071/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-7664166-9864720?v=glance&s=books
which really wasn't half bad...
When I was pregnant I'm really glad that nobody ripped out my emryo.
