Review of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) by Dave C — 18 May 2008
Ok, looking at the comments below takes the wind out of my 'Man Bites Dog meets Scream' description. And for those of you who haven't seen, or even heard of, Man Bites Dog, lets just say it's Spinal Tap meets Scream.
And for those of you who haven't seen Spinal Tap, then watch it.
Though knowing ironic horror and mockumentaries may be nothing new, this is clever enough to be a worthy edition as it moves the genres on, and at it's best is rather reminiscent of the tricksy plotting of Adaptation.
It's also a funnier parody than any Scary Movie and is at times rather scary too.
All in all, great stuff and a must for horror fans.
