I think that You Owe Me One could be adapted to make a brilliant gothic horror film, with plenty of suspense and drama. Think of films such as Interview with a Vampire or Dracula. The two main protagonists in You Owe Me One are strong, admirable characters, although on the surface they appear to be very different. Charles lives in 19th century Louisiana, Paris and Kissimmee and Joe resides in modern Florida. They both strive for happiness and fall in love during the story. Their enemy and antagonist is no other than Satan himself and you find yourself rooting for them throughout the story. The story tackles the themes of free will, the evils of slavery and the power of love. Scenes are focused on the streets of 19th century Paris, a French chateau, a cotton plantation and in the swamps and rivers of Florida. They are very spectacular and visual. Nature is used as imagery, and includes scenes featuring birds, alligators, vultures and snakes. This is a story about Joe Durrant in present day Florida, and Charles Sauvage who lived in the 19th century. Their lives are linked by their association with an antique mirror, which serves as a portal to spirit world. They both find themselves being stalked by Satan and become involved in a terrifying fight to save their souls.
