Titles: Here We Go Again!

I don't really like the title "72 Hours" for my project. It just doesn't fit the piece the way I thought it would initially. The script, as I wrote it, ousted the room for there to be a commentary about the "72 Hours" issue in the justice system. The film is more of a commentary on the existence of pure evil in the world, and how scary that reality is. The film will be better with only one focus, and it will allow for a more cohesive story-line and better conveyed tone and purpose.

In researching films that fall under the general crime genre and similar sub genres, a common theme is including only a few key words. Convention doesn't favor long, wordy titles. The titles are normally symbolic to the plot or describe the conflict. Movies like "Sin City", "The Departed", "The Town", and "Zodiac". I want the title to describe the psyche and persona of Hader Jones. I thought about translating the title into a different language, but decided that would be an insignificant and unnecessary effort. I want the title to be a singular, unusual adjective. I used Thesaurus.com, starting from general words like "sadistic" or "eerie". I eventually narrowed down to "Demoniac". It sounds evil, which is what I like about it, and it is unique enough to remember and hard to confuse.
