I'm loading in the logline and summary for my screenplay. Don't do anything with it. I just want you to know what it's about cause I'm going to have you help me re-write some of the action scenes. EVIL GHOST SONIC GUNS Logline: In "Evil Ghost Sonic Guns," a darkly comedic horror-action adventure, an experimental musician discovers her unique sounds might be humanity's only defense against a mind-shredding ghost invasion, if she can reconcile with the spectral child from her troubled past. ELEVATOR PITCH The first thing you need to know is the southwestern US is under attack. Not by guns that blast a bullet in your chest but by sonic weapons that tear a hole in your mind and fill it with ghosts. These sound frequencies create such crazy terror in people that they kill themselves and each other in ways beyond the bounds of natural understanding. It's an invasion that's ghostly, but the question remains: are these spirits a haunting reality or hallucinations caused by the ghost guns? And into this steps DENISE, an underground electronic musician and a recovering drug addict with a fuck you attitude that has kept her booked at the small side stages of festivals despite the WOW factor of her junkyard jungle of sound technology. So when the campout rave Denise is performing at is attacked by a mysterious gunman armed with a sonic ghost gun, what she discovers is that somehow, her cacophony of sound is enough to protect those in earshot from the "pseudo" supernatural ghost attacks. Which is great news except Denise doesn't know quite how she created the sound. Denise's accidental breakthrough puts her squarely in the sights of the enigmatic and sardonic FBI Agent Robert Habercorn, a seasoned FBI operative entrenched in the bizarre. His mission? Recruit Denise's uncanny audio-talent to combat the escalating phantom warfare. For Denise, the catch isn't just re-engineering her sonic fluke; it's silencing the child apparition from her past - a relentless spirit tied to a guilt-ridden memory she can't escape. Despite being told that the ghost is a mere hallucination--a byproduct of the sonic weapon's eerie effects--both Denise and Agent Habercorn feel there's truth to the child's presence The spectral child makes an ultimatum: make amends or she won't lead them to the dooms day cult behind the attacks, leaving the planet vulnerable to imminent evil ghost domination. As the countdown to apocalypse ticks on, Denise must confront her guilt, master her creation, and step up as the unexpected hero in a symphony of survival. "Evil Ghost Sonic Guns" pulsates with an electrifying mix of gritty action, biting humor, and heart-thumping horror. Imagine the raw energy of an underground music scene clashing with paranormal pandemonium - all woven into a narrative that promises to rock both the senses and the spirit. This isn't just a film; it's the opening note of the next great horror-action franchise, riveting audiences with its immersive soundtrack and innovative scares. Get ready for a tempo of terror that sets a new rhythm for the battle between this world and the next. _______________________________________ At heart this thing is a rollercoaster ride. It's an action packed descent in terror featuring riotously funny characters that would love to kill each other, if they weren't the only ones that could stop the EVIL GHOST SONIC GUNS.

INT. EDUARDO'S WORK LAB - NIGHT Eduardo's garage has undergone a remarkable transformation, now serving as an impressive computer lab filled with state-of-the-art machines. He's asleep on a couch in the corner, spooning with the sonic weapon. Suddenly, Eduardo's eyes shoot wide open and he wakes up to find looking down at him are three human sized creatures that resemble praying mantis humanoids. EDUARDO Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The sky flickers with the TV static. CUT TO: EXT. EDUARDO'S LAB - MORNING Eduardo wakes up for real. DISSOLVE TO: LATER Eduardo places the gun on the table of a CT scanner. The imaging tube emits a series of beams which penetrate the object, capturing its internal structure from various angles and multidimensional views. Eduardo studies the images; his look of amazement quickly transforms into panic. EDUARDO WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN ME INTO BASTARD! JLO (O.S.) I have your coffee. JLo rolls in carrying a coffee setup. JLO Would you rather me prepare for you a Yogi Tea Honey Lavender Stress Relief Soothing Serenity Blend? EDUARDO No thank you JLo. I need you to look at this. Eduardo points to a long row of stones inside the base of the gun's muzzle. EDUARDO Can you identify what kind of stones these are? JLO Smoky Topaz. EDUARDO Isn't that the same thing as Smoky Quartz? JLO No. JLo smiles like a game show host.

EXT. GRASSHOPPER/WOLFIE'S HOUSE - DAY Robert cautiously looks through the front window. He sees Grasshopper standing in the middle of the living room staring at the wall, seemingly in a trance. EXT. THE SIDE OF GRASSHOPPER/WOLFIE'S HOUSE - DAY Robert walks around to the side of the house. The bathroom window is slightly open. Robert carefully forces open the window and lifts himself through. INT. GRASSHOPPER/WOLFIE'S HOUSE - DAY Robert tiptoes down the hallway until he reaches the living room. Grasshopper is gone. Suddenly, obnoxious pop music blasts from the backyard. Robert charges through the house. A swirl of fire streaks across the glass backdoor as he approaches. EXT. GRASSHOPPER/WOLFIE'S BACKYARD - DAY Grasshopper expertly spins fire on a staff next to a 5-gallon metal gas can. Robert moves in, fist clenched tightly, signaling his intent to strike ROBERT Put down the bat! Startled, Grasshopper's grip falters, causing the staff to slip from his hands and clatter onto the hard concrete below. But as Grasshopper opens his mouth to speak, an unexpected twist unfolds. It is not his own voice which emerges, but the distinctive, EFFEMINATE LISP OF WOLFIE. Grasshopper will speak with Wolfie's voice throughout. GRASSHOPPER You can take whatever you want! Robert lowers his fists. He recognizes Wolfie's voice from the voice message. ROBERT It's okay Wolfie. I'm from the FBI and I'm here because of the message you left regarding your roommate Grasshopper. Grasshopper breaths a huge sigh of relief. GRASSHOPPER Grasshopper is upstairs in his bedroom, pixillated like a serious creepazoid. Grasshopper picks up the gas can and brings it inside with him.

With a jolt, Grasshopper loses his flow, the staff clanging to the ground. As he turns, his voice catches Robert off-guard - the clear, effeminate lisp of Wolfie: Note he doesn't catch him off guard we as the audience only know that Grasshopper has someone gotten the actual voice of Wolfie.

Grasshopper can't hide his surprise.

HALLWAY - DAY ... to find Wolfie holding a burning match. He's clearly struggling not to light himself on fire. He stares at Grasshopper while the match inches closer. ROBERT Don't fucking do it Grasshopper! Wolfie and Grasshoppers eyes are locked as the match inches closer. ROBERT TELL ME WHEN AND WHERE THE NEXT ATTACK IS.... WOLFIE 7.8... 43.2... Wolfie can't hold it off any longer and lights himself, instantaneously bursts into a HUMAN FIREBALL. He CHARGES at Denise. Suddenly, Rose materializes from the opposite side, colliding with Denise. The impact sends Denise crashing to the ground, narrowly escaping Wolfie's fiery embrace. Wolfie hurtles past Denise, crashing into the back wall near the window. The curtains catch fire and within seconds, the entire wall becomes a blazing inferno. ROBERT Come on! Robert scoops Denise off the floor and pulls her out the front door. Grasshopper runs the opposite direction. EXT. GRASSHOPPER AND WOLFIE'S HOUSE - DAY Robert and Denise run out the door. The entire front of the house is on fire. DENISE Wait, where's Wolfie? ROBERT He escaped around back. We've got to get out of here now.

EXT. GRASSHOPPER AND WOLFIE'S BACKYARD - DAY Grasshopper digs up the buried rifle as the entire house bursts into flames behind him. He continues to dig as if nothing was happening. He grabs the rifle out of the hole and then looks up at the sky. Countless GIANT EYEBALLS stare down at him from all directions as the sky flickers with the now familiar static patterns. Grasshopper HOWLS like a wounded hyena.
