Dark and depressing, but quite good.

Les Maitres du suspense (2014) ***

Ingenious mix of comedy and horror movie elements. Suffering from a writer's block, a bestselling author hires a ghost writer. But then the ghost also suffers from a lack of inspiration and hires another ghost writer for himself. Well-acted, very original film full of unexpected plot twists. The funniest scenes involve kindergarten children who help the second ghost writer in his literary endeavors.
