If you haven’t seen Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, I am sorry for you.
It was on Netflix Instant, just a few weeks ago.
And it is worth seeking out on VOD or at a brick & mortar store (if such things still exist anywhere). Hell- if you like horror movies even a little it is worth seeking out.
Smarter than your average slasher (by like a million), and really, really, really funny.
This year, I have been trying to focus on the Trailers, not the movies themselves- sometimes it is harder than others. With Leslie Vernon, it is very hard. I really love this movie.
Also- I am stalling, because if you haven’t seen it, you should maybe skip the trailer. It doesn’t tell you anything you couldn’t figure out, but the movie is a great collection of tonal shifts, and the trailer kind of gives them away (and glosses over a lot of the nearly constant, brilliantly deconstructive comedy).
That said. Good trailer! It puts most of the horror cameos up front (Robert Englund doing a pitch perfect riff on Donald Pleasence, a wonderful turn from the late-great Zelda Rubinstein), a really terrific turn from Scott Wilson and holy wow do Nathan Baesel and Angela Goethals rock in the lead roles. Especially Baesel- not to take away from Goethals, but Nathan kills in this one.
