Night Film

Ultimately, I was expecting things from this book that I didn't get. 
As the author goes on to tease the mysterious Stanislas Cordova, director of the most terrifying movies ever made, exploring the worst part of the human mind, I was expecting more nuance to the story. A deep dive into the mind of such a person, what makes him who he is, and why he does what he does. Details of the movies themselves and why they are so terrifying they're banned from television. 
And that was mostly a disappointment, because I think we deserved that, especially with the length of this book.

Instead what we get is a long and winded mystery with Scott McGrath following lead after lead after lead, all of them dead ends, untill one person just word vomits everything at the end with the littlest bit of blackmailing, and after 500 long pages, it's all over. 
Now that I think more about it though, giving an unsatifisying ending is something Cordova would totally do so that might have been intentional.

The book definitely did a better job with exploring Ashley Cordova's character but I was not here for HER, you know?? I wanted more.
