|
|
<p>Honestly, I'm not sure who this book is targeted at.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>At first, I thought it would examine all the clichés on horror movies that
|
||
|
|
made the hero survive everything till the end. But the narration style
|
||
|
|
sometimes puts you as just someone living in the same world, sometimes it puts
|
||
|
|
you as the protagonist, sometimes you can engineer your way around every
|
||
|
|
problem, sometimes you have to force the screenwriter to do something (so you
|
||
|
|
don't actually <em>do</em> whatever you need to do, you force someone else to make
|
||
|
|
you do something), sometimes you force the "movie" to move faster without the
|
||
|
|
screenwriter support... It is a huge hodgepodge of ways, and no consistency
|
||
|
|
between them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To be fair, I'm not a fan of horror movies (the book came from a Humble Bundle
|
||
|
|
pack) so I may appear a bit hard on the author, but still...</p>
