Overall the story needs to cut some time spent with extraneous characters and focus on the arcs of the characters that will drive the plot. The genre needs to be decided upon, and the themes brought to the surface through the plot. If Love Me Dead is going to be a marketable film then it must be easy to follow and must set a clear context for the audience from the beginning. Looking at films like Monster, Fatal Attraction, and The Tenant might help to see how masters have used their genre to tell fascinating stories about characters on the edge of sanity while maintaining a strong balance of sympathy for their protagonists.
