Review of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) by Tim D — 29 Jul 2009
A decent original take on the slasher genre. In this world Myers, Voorhees and Krueger are all known as famous serial killers. A small documentary crew join a man destined to become the next big name! It's good how it starts by trying to explain what it takes to be one of these characters.
Also how they go about their trade and revealing the answers behind so many slasher cliches. There are some good cameos from well known horror actors like Robert Englund in a Dr Loomis type role. A nice slight twist as the story progresses as well before we get to the finale on the old creepy deserted farm! Definitely one for slasher fans who will pick up the in jokes along the way.
Top marks for ideas and effort make for a pretty decent film.
