In Horror Movie, Paul Tremblay writes both a love letter to and a condemnation of the art of low-budget, gritty horror filmmaking. Narrated by the lone survivor of the original film, Horror Movie recounts the tragic making of a low-budget horror film, alongside the filming of its Hollywood remake some thirty years later. Jumping back and forth in time between the two productions while also reproducing the original film’s script, Horror Movie paints a picture of a ragtag group of dedicated young filmmakers committed to making their movie a reality no matter the cost. All at once horrific, heartbreaking, and even a bit damning, Horror Movie is a read unlike many others.
