Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
4.0

I don’t think I knew what I was getting into when I started this book. I say that, elated, yet absolutely blindsided. First we have to talk about the POVs and that you should know going in that they change CONSTANTLY. Like back to the past, the future, screenplay for the movie, and so on. It’s a lot and it was even something that made me pause to adjust to. That being said, this entire plot is about an old horror movie never really released and now being filmed to reboot. So it makes sense to jump back and forth! I’m a BIG HORROR FAN and some of the “scenes” filmed for the movie were absolute insanity. It was a wild ride all the way to the end of this book. If you’re a fan of unreliable narration (pretty much everything in this is unreliable) this is most definitely for you! The ending gets slightly predictable as you go on and while that can be a bit disappointing, I’d say it also adds a bit of terror. Knowing the end result no matter what. There’s no happy ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy!
