Movie Idea

So, you have this girl and she's online dating. There's some sort of intro montage to let us get to know her and her dating situation super well. Probably lots of shots of computer screens with messages from guys that write all in caps about how no girls go for nice guys anymore and how they can't believe no one ever messages them back. Anyways, the details can be worked out. The point is we get the audience sufficiently invested in this girl so that when she goes on a date with a guy and he totally kills her the audience is like WTF, we were totally ready for a romantic comedy. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's crucial that we market it as a feel good romantic comedy to really maximize the WTF moment.
Anyways, since our protagonist is dead about 5 minutes into the movie, we fill te rest with investigation. There's a lot of time left over, and as you'll see, I don't have many other plans, so we can spend a lot of screen time on dusting for fingerprints, or the paperwork that goes along with evidence bags.
So anyways, midway through the movie we go to her apartment and we find out that she has a total shrine set up to her murderer with his profile picture plastering her entire wall, with a message that says "he killed me." So, we find out that all along, she was the crazy one, with a shrine, instead of the guy that just goes around murdering innocent protagonists. He wasn't so crazy, minus the murdering, because when we make it to his apartment it's totally shrine free and he has a super cute golden retriever.
Then we find out they were long lost siblings all along.
It shall be called "Ferngully".
