Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Well I picked this up just because of Robert Englund, and the plot summary on the back of the box. It was a different take on a horror movie, and much enjoyable to watch. It has it's humor, and sort of a twist, that should be enjoyable watch for many. I say give it atleast a rent if you can find it somewhere, more information can be found here. If you have seen it what did you think about it?

Here is a short summary: The next great psycho horror slasher has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.

On the surface Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) seems like your average, small-town, nice guy. He has goals, ambitions and asperations........ follow in the footsteps of his long-time heroes Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees and be the world's next great psycho-slasher. A true self-promoter, Leslie gives documentary filmmaker Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) and her crew exclusive access to his life as he plans and executes his great reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.
