Idea one - A man with a wife and kids who has a dark secret other life. He appears normal to those around him but when you look closer you can see there are sinister aspects to him. His need for bloodshed seeps through his normal family man persona until he can bare it no more and succumbs to his lust.
Idea two - A social outcast and undiagnosed sociopath who suffers from OCD snaps and acknowledges his desire to kill and collect after a stressful chain of events.
Idea three - A teenage peeping Tom with a less than perfect home life is taunted by dark and twisted fantasies involving killing and torturing women. Throughout the audience would be unsure whether or not some of these fantasies are real or not until the end where he accidentally commits his first murder which seems to be the start of something awful.
Idea four - A man with a desire to kill finds himself falling for a woman who seems to make all the dark thoughts go away. Will this woman find away to tame him? Or will everything come crashing down when temptation is too much to bare?
To build on these ideas and to find the best one to use I am going to research some serial killers and look at openings to other thrillers and crime dramas to see how to go about specifically creating an opening to a thriller film based around a complex character.
