on When a college athlete discovers that the university’s Greek Life is a front for demonic mafias who have been corrupting students with a supernatural drug, he launches a crusade against Hell, risking his enrollment, and his life, in the process.

I like the devil's pact angle, & the gateway joke. apart from the logline, the rest of the outline looks like this: A university student named Alex, struggling with peer pressure (since he doesn't knows yet - about the secret…
on A woman finds a phone connected to the future, she is tasked by people to do a series of increasingly extreme tasks in an attempt to fix their present, or it may be her latest bout of mental illness.

The premise is very interesting. Suggesting her incentive - why should she helps them - will make it more believable, when she continues to attempt the increasingly extreme tasks.
on Seeing his wife’s ghost each morning for breakfast a man becomes vigilante after the police decide to stop investigating her murder.

I love the outline. I like the section where he realizes he has become part of the problem; this will help explore the theme. What he does for a living, might have this movie inadvertently be compared to the taxi…
on Seeing his wife’s ghost each morning for breakfast a man becomes vigilante after the police decide to stop investigating her murder.

After reading the text under the logline I could make complete sense. So that needs to change. Otherwise I really like the idea/ where it’s going.
on A corrupt rural sheriff must find a senator's abducted daughter to bring a quick end to an FBI manhunt that could expose his ties to local drug trafficking.

Why do we root for him?
on Unbeknownst to Mani’s death at a construction site, Sivagami, his wife must work hard to repay the money her husband got from a nefarious recruiter and anticipate his return; Incompetent, Munniyapan accepts the recruiter’s idea to work at the same construction site gets electrocuted and die. His Mother and Grandfather continue to wait for their return.

How is Sivagami's life related to the family of Munniyapan? Sivagami's story seems to have the potential for action and conflict. 'Waiting for Munniyapan' isn't something very visual & engaging, unless you add necessary details to it. Hope this helps.
on Guided by their inspirational French teacher, a diverse group of adult students escape the backdrop of modern-day West London and find new meaning in their lives by exploring Frenchman Jean Giono’s celebrated short story ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’ about one man’s hope for humanity via his generosity to nature.

what constitutes 'exploring'? how do they 'find new meaning in their lives'? what specific action takes place?
on A young man sees his dead girlfriend through near death experiences.

In the context of a logline this can be the inciting incident of the film. The premise has potential. His dramatic need to keep seeing his girlfriend can drive him to commit near death experiences. What stops him from doing…
on When a family member haunts them as a ghost, two dysfunctional families must cope with either life or death.

Sorry, this tells us nothing. Please go through the formula tab on the top. It's quite awesome :))
on After stealing a mysterious present on Christmas Eve, a selfish little boy must repent or be devoured by a monstrous elf.

repent to whom?; v/s being devoured by a monstrous elf, isn't that an obvious choice?
on After stealing a mysterious present on Christmas Eve, a selfish little boy must repent or be devoured by a monstrous elf.

what's stopping him from repenting?
on Bio-engineer , Frances Cho, awakes from cryogenic sleep, to discover the spaceship?s oxygen supply has been sabotaged, and something is killing the sleepers. Low on oxygen and disorientated, Cho has to stay wide awake if she and her comrades are to survive.

After waking up low on oxygen, a disoriented bio-engineer must stay awake to save herself & her team when someone sabotages their spaceship. Interesting premise, would like to hear more, good luck :)
on before proposing to her, an uber driver has a chance to pick up his girlfriend’s father who is a judge and a young terrorist wants to kill him.

The meat is in the chase and it will help to trim the 'before proposing to her' part (maybe say the father of his love interest..). On another note, how will killing the judge help the young terrorist? How is…
on When his medication suddenly stops working, a contentedly married man must endure terrifying Hypnotic Regressions in search of an answer to his mysterious and debilitating condition. (26)

You've posted it under 'Horror' but the way you have pitched It, doesn't seem like a very active-action. At the most I hope him to get better soon but I'm not with him on this journey. It would be helpful…
on To validate her self-worth, a cunning catfisher help victims reclaim their digital lives by revealing the truth and exposing the perpetrators.

The premise is interesting but it makes me wonder 'Why now?' Why does her self worth bothers her now when she's been one of them? What does she gain by exposing the perpetrators? Instead of 'victims' maybe there's someone in…
on When an teenager becomes insecure about her boyfriend’s friendship with their female road-trip companion, she decides to make him jealous by inviting a dangerous hitchhiker along for the ride.

I think you meant-Jealous of her boyfriend's association with their female road trip companion, an insecure teenager invites a hitchhiker who turns out to be a serial killer
on A jealous mediocre court composer blocks the career and plots the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Notoriously unconventional, but works nonethelessWould like to hear how you reached it; why you decided against loglining it from the protagonist's angle.
on A frustrated California high-school senior navigates her final year as she struggles to earn a place at an East Coast college and gain some independence from her overbearing mother.

When it comes to objectively stating her dramatic need (what she thinks she needs, before she knows any better) this version is competently worded. Only it lacks the necessary hook, but maybe such is the nature of this film.I find…
on When King George III descends into madness, court physicians attempt to cure him with torturous remedies while his dissolute son conspires to usurp the throne.

Thank you for posting your method, It?s quite insightful. My only concern- I don?t know who the protagonist is.I like how this logline enables me to imagine the various forces driving the story; makes me want to know how it…
on After a plane crash strands him on a remote island, a hard-driving Fedex executive, who never had time for a personal life, now has all the time in the world to merely survive.

I love how he never had time but now has all the time in the world to..Also, couldn't be more succinct with the inciting incident and his objective goal. Truly a great job with this!
