Instant New York Times bestseller!
A chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the bestselling author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World.
In June 1993, a group of young guerilla 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. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions—demons of the past be damned.
But at what cost?
Horror Movie is an obsessive, psychologically chilling, and suspenseful feat of storytelling genius that builds inexorably to an unforgettable, mind-bending conclusion

To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?” When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak. Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they’ve arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows. One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn’t figure into it at all.

Father Silence once terrorized the rural town of Twisted Tree, disguising himself as a priest to prey on the most vulnerable members of society. When the police finally found his House of Horrors, they uncovered nineteen bodies and one survivor–a boy now locked away in a hospital for the criminally insane. Nearly two decades later, Father Silence is finally put to death, but by the next morning, the detective who made the original arrest is found dead. A new serial killer is taking credit for the murder and calling himself the Outcast.

Stephen King couldn’t write this.
This is another gemstone in the crown of horror. This does not have the big scary monsters of other horror books on audible. It has a monster, but it’s a slow build to a true horror. I’m blind, I went blind slowly, and that’s horrible. That is this book. The slow and beautiful drawing of the curtain into exactly what you’d expect but. Different. It is well written. Well acted. And perfectly paced. It trucks your mind while protesting the honesty of both film making and modern cinema. I loved. Every. Minute. My only regret is that it ended. Fantastic. Thank you for this book.

Great - I will explain the narration
So many reviews remark on how the narration sounds unedited with rustling paper and starts and stops and a few complaints about the back and forth with past and present…let me assure you it all makes sense and adds to the overall effect of the movie…I mean book ;)
Without revealing too much there are almost 3 timelines: the present, the past and the story in the screenplay. Although we think of the past as being the “story” in the script - it is not and those noises and “edits” help anchor us to which is the real past every time we start to get sucked in too deep.
It’s a fantastic and yet horrifying story in which I can see the screenplay alone as a movie already but the blurring of the lines between the ‘movie’ and the ‘filming’ have a mesmerizing effect and the tying in with the present…well listen for yourself and be prepared to be entertained while being horrified

Perplexing decisions with this audiobook.
Spoiler alert I guess, but nothing major:
So, there’s a movie in this book, that fictional movie has a script, and portions of that script are included in the book. Maybe in the physical book it’s formatted to look like a photocopy of a real script, xeroxed and degraded to seem extra immersive, I don’t know. But for some reason, for the audiobook, they represent the script by staging a table read with actors. Like, a real table read, where you can hear pages being turned, people sniffing and coughing, lines being flubbed and redone, obviously impromptu lines referencing mistakes in the reading, and a very distinct change in audio quality compared to the rest of the book. And on top of all of the distracting candidness in this ostensibly professional production, there are a few instances of foley-style sound effects during the table read, like they couldn’t decide if they truly wanted an “in the room with the actors” quality, or more of a full-cast audio play vibe.
I get wanting to inject some verisimilitude into the production, but this was all so jarring and frankly made it seem low quality and kind of embarrassing. And the way that the “script” was written was so weirdly detailed, such that it felt painfully obvious that it was only ever intended to be part of a novel rather than a bare-bones shooting script used by a ragtag film crew to make a low-budget horror flick. This is somewhat lazily hand-waved away at one point in the book by saying that it was a unique script, but “somewhat lazily” is beyond charitable given how ridiculous it gets.
The main narrator was good, and I prefer audiobooks with a single narrator, but if they were going to do the table read schtick (they shouldn’t have), it would have made much more sense to have the actors from the table read also do the voices of the corresponding characters in the main narrative. Otherwise, what you end up with here is one guy doing all of the voices except when we’re hearing the script, at which point actors we have no connection to, through their genuine portrayal of actual characters, taking over roles that feel all the more disconnected from the narrative as a result.
As for the story itself. Eh. It had its moments. It kind of felt pointless and meandering, I don’t think it was worth the listen to be honest. It felt like it was trying very very hard to impress upon the listener that the titular movie was LEGENDARY just by saying over and over that it was legendary. There’s an obvious reason that it would have found a place on horror movie lore, sure, but we spend the majority of the book in the dark about the specifics, sort of being mislead into believing that it’s some The Ring style situation with a legitimately cursed movie, but no. But then, also, yes, I guess? In the last 5 minutes? Out of nowhere? What?
I feel like a curmudgeon, yelling at clouds in a horror novel. But it honestly just felt like a decent story about friends making a movie, tragedy striking, and then the author intentionally knocking the wheels off the whole thing at the end just to give it the M. Night twist treatment. Or like it was a movie and the studio executives said “I thought this was supposed to be a horror movie…” and demanding a reshoot of the ending, even if it didn’t make any sense with the rest of the story. Eh.

Eerie and intriguing
If you like linear storytelling, straightforward plots, and things ended in a tidy way, then this novel is not for you. That being said, I enjoyed the ride. I didn’t know where this book was going most of the time and I loved living with the anticipation.
Once again, Tremblay has asked us to consider the unimaginable. You will be scared with the characters, for the characters, and by the characters.
The format of this book is very strange and I found it confusing at first, but lean into it. It will all make sense in the end — or not.

Pretentious with no pretense
Paul is an incredible writer and I believe he knows that. The big problem with this book is he expects a lot from the listener, to trust him that he's going somewhere with every long drawn out scene. It doesnt. This book feels like it wants to challenge you but, again, it doesn't. It just kind of meanders and over explains while under explaining at the same time and then it just....ends.

Cute but overrated
I don’t know. I liked it. I didn’t love it. I don’t understand why it wasn’t just a movie. A movie about the making of this movie— not that they won’t do it— but I just don’t get why it needed to be a novel first. It’s not super easy or interesting to listen to a
Screenplay being read aloud. It’s just not naturally
Easy on the ears. When he was talking to us in the present day, from actually reading a book on audible, it was much easier to feel immersed. But now that I’ve finished I don’t understand the point of him narrating an audible book. In the written novel
It must also say audible. But an audible book is usually a book first & then produced as an audiobook unless the conceit here is that it went straight to audible? Ok but why?
I really love the story but the format of the whole thing made me not enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.
I guess this review won’t make any sense unless you’ve actually listened to the book. It wasn’t scary. The ideas they had for the movie sound scary so I guess I’ll just look forward to watching the movie adaptation.
Lame
Review but 🤷🏻♀️

Can’t wait for the film
Can’t believe the ending, wow. Spectacular. What a ride. 16 word minimum for reviews. These are those words.

We’re All Monsters Here.
I picked this up on a whim in trying to use my backlog of credits. I was scrolling through when this title popped up as Recommended. I listen to the preview and the rest is history. The art of the slow burn is nearly lost but not completely, this book is a prime example.
The horror simmers, it stirs you into itself slowly and methodically. Without giving too much away, this book felt being in a house of cursed mirrors. With each chapter a new reflection that’s a little more distorted, a little more cracked, a little more horrible until you’re left with an image utterly monstrous.
A group of people set out to make horror film and in the end, the film makes them into the horror.
If you like monsters, if you horror, you’ll like this. The only negatives would be the slightly ham-fisted modern-day-world weary-cynical way the main character sometimes talks in can be a bit annoying. In light of the ending though, I think that can be forgiven.

Fantastic
Well done. Well executed. A nice variation on the audiobook and how it’s presented and a nice variation on the cursed film trope of horror

Really?
I found the whole interlacing of the screenplay with the bigger story to be really risky. I wish it would’ve paid off but it just didn’t for me. Maybe if I read it instead of listening? I don’t know. I liked the overall story but it was pretty painful to listen to in a lot of parts. A swing and a miss.
