sandro_reads 's review for:

Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
2.0
dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I should not have ignored the low star rating here in favor of the BookTok praise.

Annoying narrator ✅
Predictable ending ✅

While the concept of a split timeline between the making of a “cursed” Horror Movie in the 90s and its reboot today, intercut with the screenplay, is interesting, literally nothing happens. Maybe the supposed “horror” is trying to bore the reader to death?
