Horror Movie

It's pretty good.  One of those horror books that are full of portent and weighty passages, but is let down by the ending.  But, until then, it's pretty good.  At first, the pretentious and wanky screenplay bothered me, especially since it violates a lot of rules of a proper screenplay, but I guess it works, having come from a pretentious and wanky writer in-universe.  And if you examine it through the lens of the tragic events of the making of the film, it makes sense.  I don't know if I'm a fan of Tremblay, and I don't think I'll ever read this again or heap much praise upon it, but it tries.

Also, I'm not sure if Tremblay has seen a horror movie past 1989 or realizes that there are more horror movies than just teen slashers.  I could be way off base, though.
