BEHIND THE MASK (R) ANCHOR BAY (2006) Starring: Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals, Robert Englund, Scott Wilson, Bridgett Newton & more. Leslie Vernon is an up & coming new serial killer. He wants to become famous like Myers, Krueger & Voorhees, so he hires a small film crew to document his rise to fame. They follow him as he targets victims to kill, sets up the scenario of where & how he will kill each & every victim. The crew gets a little bit nervous as they get closer & closer to the killings. They soon realize that they are all part of his plan & have become his victims. They do what they can to get away from him, but they all get slaughtered & killed. The film was a bit slow at points & it's also done a bit campy & has a little bit of comedy to it. The end makes up for everything when the killings starts & he actually snaps into his serial killer mode! I liked the concept of this film a lot! www.BEHINDTHEMASKthemovie.com
