Review of Maskhead (2009) by Josef H — 01 Jan 2012
As per usual, unless you are a fan of truly deviant cinema, DO NOT WATCH MASKHEAD!. The film follows somewhat in the line of Toe Tag Picture's more recent releases (The Red Sin Tower and Sella Turcica) because it features somewhat of a conventional plot, but it also a0 throwback to their August Underground films in that it often features a cinema verite style as its killers film the murders of their victims.
Maskhead is actually a somewhat clever (and completely brutal/disgusting) satire of the porn industry as it follows a lesbian couple and their "friends" who run a "model agency" (a pornography production company) that uses its actress/actor recruiting front as a means to lure victims for snuff films.
The victims often initially engage in producing fetishistic porn videos (food fetishes, clown fetishes, etc.), before turning into murder scenes. Maskhead features the typical terrible acting and production values of Toe Tag Pictures' previous films, and it blends humor and brutality in a way that makes us cringe, laugh, and question why the hell we watch such dehumanizing garbage.
