    Interesting!

    by VHOne

    Behind the Mask started off a tad slow but it was good. You figured it out long before the characters did, but hey...that's movie life. I actually went to hear the music of my nephew who scored the movie as I usually don't attend slasher films, but overall it was pretty good. It was a different slasher flick and to me, was not the blood and gore that you see in so many.

    Neat concept...the storyline. I would say GO see it. I generally am pretty hard on movies and don't go to too many of today's films. I had a personal interest here, but not so much so not to keep my objectivity.

    A Good Time for Fans of Slasher Flicks

    Anyone whose fave films include the Halloween or Friday the 13th flicks will find much to enjoy in this indie mockumentary about a young guy who dreams of being the next big-name serial killer. While the real slasher stuff doesn't turn up until the final third of the movie, there's plenty of fun deconstruction of the horror genre in the first part of the movie to keep slasher fans entertained.

    it could have been good

    the concept and storyline had potential, but the script was cheesy and predictable

    At its best, Behind the Mask offers some, um, cutting insights about mass-media...

    Variety | Joe Leydon

    An ingeniously twisted mockumentary.

  • 80
    Los Angeles Times |

    Behind the Mask is original and weirdly delicious, and executed with gory...

    New York Daily News | Elizabeth Weitzman

    It's a must for those who like thrills laced with a sense of humor.
