Horror Movie [Large Print]

By Paul Tremblay

Book Overview

"In June 1993, a group of young guerrilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film's scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot. The man who played 'The Thin Kid' is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur--

Read at your own caution

Spoiler" this was a DNF for me The premise was intriguing, cursed/lost films have long been apart of whispers in film circles Whether the set of Poltergiest or The Omen having it's own murmurs Reading this in book form greatly piqued my interest The execution was below sub par Lets start with the positives; Remakes will happen and seeing that Horror Movie was getting a remake will undoubtedly raise questions That was answered early on How the characters interact while making the movie are unintentionally funny The unreliable narrator also has some unintentionally funny quips and inner monologue Thats really where the positives stop Negatives: The pacing is very very sluggish and erratic While I understand this is because of the unreliable narrator As the reader, it makes things very confusing and again slows everything to a crawl The rest of the characters are mean for no reason It comes across as greedy, ill spirited and dreams that ultimately crash down Finding out their fates should have come out later than the way it did I ultimately got 75% through and couldnt finish Recommend reading at your own discretion

Let down, not usual Paul Tremblay

I was so disappointed in this book. I love Paul Tremblay's writing and storytelling. A Head Full of Ghosts is one of my favorite books; it was a terrifying story. I had high hopes that Horror Movie would scare the beans out of me. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. From the get-go, the story felt too cliché. I knew the ending after reading the first couple of chapters. There was nothing that glued me to the pages. There was a wee bit of tension, but nothing like his other books. Don't buy this book. Get it from your library. So disappointing.

Falls Flat

I disliked this book very much. I think the ending fell flat.

Pretty Good

I…think I liked this? I know I didn’t hate it. I just don’t know how I feel about the ending I guess. But you know what I give props where they’re due, I liked the past and present narratives, I like the screenplay interspersed between chapters and I do love an unreliable narrator.
