Behind the mask

Has anybody seen the movie Behind the mask. I watched it a few months ago and I thought it was pretty entertaining.

Any thoughts?

Clever film...Definitely original....The Mockumentry style was refreshing for the horror genre this day in age. A must see for any "slasher" fan.

I'd go a step further...IMO this is right up there with the classic slashers that it spoofs. Easily one of the greatest horror movies of the decade - brilliant script, some great actors, and more originally than Hollywood can manage with 20 times the budget.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. I recommend this movie to pretty much everyone I know, heh.

It's pretty cool but it doesn't really stand up to repeat viewings. Inside is one of the few flicks that rank among the classicks of the subgenre for me.

Ive seen Behind the Mask-Rise of Leslie Vernon and liked it also. For me the movie was on a similar plane as Romero's Martin (1978) and Fade to Black
(1980). Obsession, Cunning and Psychosis make for a perfect serial killer/slasher flick.
