    Didn’t see that twist coming :)

    Ample potential for lots of action and suspense.

    As a concept, I like it–I think it would be a hoot.

    As a logline, I stumble at a cluster of descriptive words. “rugged isolated” trips me up. I would go with:

    “A greenhorn Union Army Lieutenant leads his men to occupy a war-torn mountain Confederate town, only to discover it’s inhabited by werewolves.”

    As for titles, if any is involved, “Confederate Silver” might work… “Rebel Moon” just popped into mind, but might sound more sci-fi…

    There’s an abundance of werewolf movies but this seems different enough to stand out. Well done.

    I think this would be a cool concept. Not sure about the big screen but def a direct to video fun. The recent Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter went no where so producers might be leery but I would see this.

    Love it. I feel like I could guess many of the scenes but I would still pay to watch this. Not overly keen on the title, seems too obvious.

    After seeing the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie the timing of this could be perfect. That movie was great and this could be too. You just need to make it a LOT more compelling. As it is, it isn’t. Just another monster movie that’s been done a million times.

    I’m not yet seeing the potential for the mashup and what werewolves and the civil war share as a common theme.

    I think it would be important to make the setting an integral part of the story. Just a werewolf movie set during the Civil War is just another werewolf movie otherwise.

    If not much into the horror genre so I don’t know what to base it on. That said sounds pretty good!

    With so many werewolf movies out there, this one has to be really special. Although the logline potentially tells me an eerie story, it could very well fall flat as just another effects-laden script, like so many do. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging yours, as I haven’t read it yet. If made into a movie and well done with good scares and foreboding settings, it could be great.

    Awesome logline! Thank goodness the werewolves (confederates) are the bad ones! Go union! This is great!! :-)

    Hell yes!!!! Drop the “rugged” from your logline and it’s perfect. WP

    God, not another werewolf movie. That said, you’ll need to up the stakes a bit. Make them Yankee werewolves and change the title to: “Robert E. Lee; Werewolf Slayer”. Okay, I’ve had my fun. Your logline is actually pretty good though it does seem to lack a goal… assuming survival isn’t the only goal, which would be a shame.

    Your attempt seems too vague for a logline, perhaps adding more about your story will intrigue us more into watching this film.

    Maybe replace the “only to discover” part (“town…inhabited by” or “town – inhabited by” would be okay.) Cut right to the werewolves. Are the werewolves Confederate or Union? Does it matter? The logline leaves me wanting about two or three more words of plot or description of conflict (since it could go a million different directions,) but you did a really good job.

      Okay, so reading the title again (since I have been scrolling back up from where I am typing to re-read the logline a bunch of times and forgetting to read the title) I would presume that the werewolves are Confederate. But are they Confederate soldiers, or Confederate werewolves? Or both? Are the werewolves at odds with only Union soldiers? I guess this is where I would like a little bit of clarification in the logline. Are the werewolves a secret Confederate weapon against the Union?

    Strong logline. I can’t imagine doing much to it — should get interest.

      After reading them all – this one is one of the top five in terms of general clarity and strength.

    I’m interested. Could be very good. A hint as to what happens to the troops once they realize what’s up would have cinched it!

    This could be fun. Definitely needs an explanation. Why are they werewolves? What’s at stake? Who is our protagonist(s)?
