DVD Review: BEHIND THE MASK

Finally it is released. It has seemed like ages since I first told you about BEHIND THE MASK and Tuesday Anchor Bay releases it on DVD and now you will be able to see for yourself why this might just be the best, most original horror release of the last few years.

I know I have talked about this film in great detail before so I won't waste your time going over all the cool points again but I do want to remind you that is is in stores everywhere Tuesday June 26th and it is an absolute must own title for all who call themselves a horror fan.

You may remember that Anchor Bay attempted to release BEHIND THE MASK in a very limited theatrical run last fall but theaters are not what Anchor Bay does best, they do DVD and they do it right and they have hit another home run with this one.

Loaded with extras and presented as only Anchor Bay can do BEHIND THE MASK is destined to become a staple title in any fans collection, right up there with RE-ANIMATOR and ARMY OF DARKNESS. It's that damn good!

Here's the official rundown of the story and what the disc holds:

You know legendary maniacs Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. Now meet Leslie Vernon, the next great psycho-slasher. Nathan Baesel of INVASION stars as Vernon, a good-natured killing machine who invites a documentary film crew to follow him as he reminisces with his murder mentor (Scott Wilson of IN COLD BLOOD), evades his psychiatrist/nemesis (Robert Englund of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), deconstructs Freudian symbolism, and meticulously plots his upcoming slaughter spree. But when the actual carnage begins, where do you draw the line between voyeuristic thrills, mythic evil, and good old- fashioned slasher movie mayhem? Angela Goethals (24) and Zelda Rubinstein (POLTERGEIST) co-stars in this ingeniously twisted and awardwinning shocker that Film Threat hails as “a masterpiece…”.

  • Theatrical Trailer
