Horror Movie is about an indie horror movie called Horror Movie. The movie never actually got made due to Events, but scripts floated around the internet and a cult following grew. But perhaps it's time for a remake (does it count as a remake if the movie never got made in the first place?).
A fun multi-timeline story built of script excerpts, the past Events around the first production of Horror Movie, and the developments towards finally producing this movie. I'm not super into cursed object / found footage horror plots, but I do enjoy creepy abandoned schools and characters who slowly descend into madness. So if those things sound appealing to you, you'll enjoy the ride.
I'll confess that this is my least favorite Paul Tremblay because I didn't find it as clever or heart-wrenching as his other works. Or maybe I'm becoming desensitized to Paul Tremblay. 3.75 stars.
