It’s fun to see Cabin in the Woods done earlier by people with actual affection for the genre. It’s nice that this came out in 2006 and was able to hit before the Obama era with its “that just happened”s and its epic bacons. It’s easy to imagine a version of this movie…

Madison 🎭Apr 29, 202162 A novel and quite surprising take on Slasher film conventions. Not only does it deeply respect the films that it's riffing off of, but it attempts to reconfigure their successes into something mundane and tiresome. A day in the life of a horror icon in the making. The…

First revisit in quite some time and it’s just as fun and enjoyable as I remembered... with a fine cast, exquisite setup, and killer payoff. I don’t revisit this often—choosing to to savor this every other year or so, but never the less it holds a special place for me...…

haleyMar 8, 2021I remember watching this with a friend when this first came out so I decided to finally revisit it. Wow. I forgot how good this is. So many nice touches in this movie, they really do a wonderful job paying tribute to some classics. Some were subtle in the background or…

lmao at michael myers randomly showing up
adamboltOct 15, 2021This movie has been on my radar for quite some time. If I'm honest I never really understood the premise, at first glance it seemed to be a sort of Friday the 13th fan film, which to some extent it is true since our main character bases a lot of his look on Jason…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineOct 26, 2014Hoop-Tober, Film 25 of 31: Good movie. The guy who played Leslie reminded me a lot of Michael C. Hall, which is kind of ironic. Seeing Robert Englund take on a heroic role was hilarious for me as a fan of the Elm Street series... also, my mom's name is Leslie so…

I Am Mervin 2 likedBehind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie VernonSolid 7. This was a really good movie, but i’m not gonna act like it’s the best i’ve ever seen. Original, haven’t really seen anything like it. Props for not making the twist obvious, did not see it coming.
Damien lovedBehind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie VernonThis was more fun than I expected. The whole premise was cool. Documentary following and up and coming serial killer. Think Freddy Jason and Mikey instead of dahmer. Last act was great.

8/10 what a unique concept. I should have seen the overall twist coming. The kills were great and it was a fun watch
Cinematic Joshua likedBehind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie VernonA uniquely original dissection of Slashers told as a clever mockumentary with an amiable cast of largely fresh meat.
Orlando Ramone likedBehind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie VernonGreat and unique mockumentary about a film crew following around an aspiring serial killer.

Metacritic
Fortunately, the filmmakers have quite a few clever tricks up their sleeves, bringing us a smart, refreshing an affectionate skewering of a celebrated genre.
Eric Campos
Film Threat
An ingeniously twisted mockumentary.
Joe Leydon
Variety
Working in a mini-genre whose bones would appear to have been picked clean by the likes of Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven, Glosserman and Stieve find a few pints of fresh blood.
