If Christopher Guest turned his satiric eye to the horror genre, the end result might be something like Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. An amusing and affectionate nod to slasher-movie franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Behind the Mask purports to exist in a world where Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers are not just movie icons but real individuals--and a huge influence on aspiring maniac Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel). The epitome of the "nice young man" turned homicidal maniac, Leslie is also possessed with a working knowledge of horror movie conventions and stereotypes, and bends them to his advantage as he stalks his prey. Writer-director Scott Glosserman's enthusiasm for the subject matter is palpable, even if his gags don't always work, and there are tongue-in-cheek cameos from Robert Englund (channeling Donald Pleasance in Halloween), Zelda Rubenstein (Poltergeist), and a particularly funny Scott Wilson as Leslie's serial killer mentor. Extras include several deleted and extended scenes (which can be viewed with Glosserman's commentary), behind-the-scenes featurettes on the film's production and casting, and commentary from Baesel and other cast members. The original script can also be accessed via DVD-ROM. -- Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews of Behind the Mask - The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Docu-Horror-omedy
I picked this up in a local video store. I've seen it mentioned in the various horror mags like Fangoria and decided to pick it up just for a lark. It does start off as the typical documentary...and the reviews on it as the typical "what if Christopher Guest did a horror flick" fits it to a "T". It takes the ever typical repetiveness in virtually slasher film that has been around and that's including the many sequels including the poorly made ones....and even paying a direct homage to them. I found it to be a bit laughable having Robert Englund doing the typical horror movie and portraying the "Dr. Loomis" character from the Halloween flicks, as well as having the same sets like the Krueger house being in some of the early shots. <

>Some of the humor was there....although it could have used a bit more here and there but I do think that they were also wanting to strive for the slasher/horror aspects more. I was a bit surprised towards the end....it was the plot twist I didn't expect although looking at it now after just watching it I could have almost seen it coming but probably wasn't close. I recommend it if you are a fan of the slasher-horror genre....or just need something good to watch. <

>Hopefully there will be a sequel somewhere with a similar approach.


Brilliant Revisionist take!
Excellent movie. It's one of the rare excellent horror movies to come after 1990. If you are a fan of classic 80's slasher horror then this movie is a gift. It's excellently done, brilliantly crafted, and the tongue-in-cheek comedic elements are right on. Anyone who tries to take the movie too seriously might not get it, as well as those who are not big horror fanatics. But if you are a horror maven like myself and understand all the "rules" that they are both applying and breaking, there is no way you can not get a kick out of this movie and adore it. <

>The key to it all is in the subtlety. The expressions on the faces at the right moments, the way the lines are delivered. The writer and director had a firm grip on what they were doing and wanted to accomplish. They understood the material very well. It's a rare movie that gets better upon repeat viewings. It's a classic. I expect big things from Nathan in the future because he "gets it". He is the perfect Leslie Vernon. He understands the character perfectly and rides the line of psycho/realist with spirit. <

>The actual character of Leslie Vernon is almost a genius in how he plots and portrays. It's nice to see that out of a slasher instead of just big hulking powerful men bent on vengeance at all costs. <

>It's hard for me to imagine anyone not liking this unless you just don't get it. Great movie! Looking forward to the sequel...
