Funny, interesting, twists and turns great characters

Overview: A meta horror comedy similar to Cabin in the Woods or The Final Girls, but with yet another fresh angle as a mock-u-mentary.Plot: 4/5(Spoiler Free!) The plot of Behind the Mask (BTM) is a refreshingly zany take on horror. Predating both Cabin in the Woods and The Final Girls, BTM's fake documentary style lends to a good deal of laughs as the story turns the genre inside out. In an age where most horror films tend to bleed together (!), the plot of BTM is certainly one of its strongest points.Visuals: 5/5While BTM isn't particularly gory, the high visual praise in this sense comes from the found-footage style documentary utilized to perfect execution. The camera work isn't terribly 'shaky', and the break in the final quarter to a "normal" camera angle makes complete narrative sense and is a welcome change. A special note in the visuals is the sheer voluminous amount of secrets (or "Easter eggs") the film has to offer. From famous horror actors to unmistakable puzzle boxes and pickup trucks, the film is jam-packed with fan service for horror lovers.Sound: 3/5Sound may be the only slight against the movie, and even then it still is acceptable. Given the mock-u-mentary style, much of the movie is sans music. Additionally, the sound-effects often have a tinny sound, however this may be an intentional choice to reflect the poor microphone quality that cheap camcorders would have. The film's sound is relatively unremarkable, but ultimately this lends to the believe-ability of the piece.Pacing: 5/5Pacing tends to be where many movies, horror in particular, fall flat. Often, horrors (at a run time of 90 mins) are paced as set up for 30 minutes, then action for 45 minutes, a conclusion of 10 minutes and a 5 minutes credit sequence. Few people would, at first blush, want to watch a horror movie that was set up for almost exactly 1 hour. However, this is BTM's charm, in that the set-up time is not wasted. The audience is continually intrigued and amused to watch the intricate plans of the villain be crafted meticulously, eagerly awaiting the execution later. BTM takes what many movies would call a handicap and turns it into a core strength.Fear Factor: 4/5As with most horror comedies, a higher score often means a *lack* of fear, and BTM delivers on this. There is not a jump scare to be found, and the audience will likely be rooting for the villain (Lesley) the whole way. While not scary, the film earns top marks for being exactly what it should be: a silly horror comedy with just enough meat to keep viewers guessing.Final Score: 4/5Verdict: While the movie may be off-putting to horror neophytes due to its genre-riffing humor inspired mainly from 80's mainstays, any horror enthusiast worth their salt will find this 'behind the scenes making-of' a delightful bit of fan service.

I received it from the seller very quickly.The movie itself is awesome and a great film that deconstructs the slasher genre. Absolutely my favorite of the genre.

Las cinco estrellas que doy no son únicamente a la película, que terminó por convertirse en uno de mis clásicos para revisar cada Halloween, sino al servicio de envío y entrega del producto. Tardó menos de una semana en llegar, en las mejores condiciones posibles y todo se avisó cuando tenía que ser.Ahora, en cuanto a la película: la calidad de imagen es muy buena, considerando que está filmada al puro estilo de found footage. No puede tener una claridad UHD porque la idea es que se aprecie como si hubiera sido hecha por amateurs con cámaras más bien débiles. No obstante, el resultado final es maravilloso y se puede apreciar todo muy bien.Lo único verdaderamente doloroso para mí fue la ausencia de material adicional. Algunas entrevistas con el director, minidocumental del making of, trailers o cualquier cosa que ampliara el universo de esta joya hubiera sido muy bien recibida.

This is a great concept that is realized with great results. Having it be a behind-the-scenes biography of a serial killer (hand held camera work) with some added humor is great. As time goes on (around 2/3 in), it seamlessly changes into a regular film (no hand held) and that's when the real story is revealed and the horror is ratcheted up. I usually don't laugh and get frightened in the same movie, but this one pulls it off. If you don't like your horror and comedy mixed together, this is not for you. For everyone else, it's a great mix that's executed very well and worth a watch.

Any horror movie fan MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!The film is basically a mockumentary on horror flicks, but this is told from the point of view of the killer, from tracking down the correct girl/group of friends, setting up the kill floor, organising what boos are going to happen and when, the killers myth creation, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.Incredibly well thought out, by horror fans that know what they are doing. Just see it, this one's up there with "Scream" for me.Well done, really well done.Blu ray version please???

For fans it’s a must have! Another homerun for Scream Factory! The best this movie’s ever looked and loaded with features too! Get it!
