Our take
AI-draftedTremblay's structural gambit — alternating a present-day narrator's account with pages of the actual 1993 screenplay for the cursed film at the book's center — is what most reviews fixate on. Fans of his earlier genre-bending work found the hybrid form a genuinely disorienting delivery mechanism for dread, while others found the tension oddly muted for a novel titled Horror Movie.
In the press
“Dark, surprisingly violent, and incredibly multilayered... a superb addition to Tremblay's already impressive oeuvre.”
