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.

Critic Reviews

'Paul Tremblay's Horror Movie is a brilliant piece about the masks we know about and the masks we don't, the ones we're forced to wear for a lifetime because of our depression and the things we create to make sense of terrible things.' (Walter Chaw, author of A Walter Hill Film)
'Paul Tremblay is one of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation and his new chiller, Horror Movie, is a reason for excitement.' (Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman)
'In the hands of Paul Tremblay the story of a lost movie becomes a reflection on fear, the monsters we all are, and an investigation of what is a ‘horror novel.’ It’s bold, fearless, a bit sad, and very, very scary.' (Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night and Things We Lost in the Fire)
'Horror Movie is not only a haunting, unsettling, and utterly absorbing novel – it is also a twisted manifesto for art and the parts of ourselves we shed in order to create it. It messed with my head and I loved every minute of it.' (Clémence Michallon, internationally bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant)

No suspense or horror in this one and the male narrator sounds like an Australian putting on a bad American accent which was really hard to get past.

A well written story but wasn't scary and I'm not certain whether I enjoyed it or not. It was interesting and the protagonist’a voice is truly authentic - clearly the true skill this author has is dialogue and that shines.
