5 Days of Terror: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is a great little indie horror flick from 2006.

Behind the Mask follows a young serial killer named Leslie Vernon. A documentary film crew follows Leslie around on a daily basis documenting his attempts to become the greatest serial killer of all time.

What did I learn from Behind the Mask?

Do I recommend this film?

• in Leslie Vernon’s world, Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers are real people not just fictional characters
• Zelda Rubenstein (the creepy midget woman from Poltergeist) is still creepy
• Nathan Baesel need to become a bigger star
• watch for a quick cameo by Kane Hodder who walks into 1428 Elm Street
• serial killers have to do a lot of cardio to stay in shape

Absolutely. This is one of the best horror films to come out in a very long time. The writing is clever, the acting is phenomenal, and the story is engaging. The main character, Leslie Vernon, is charming and charasmatic. He’s unlike any slasher you’ve ever seen.
