It gets dull at times, but I really really liked this movie. There's shock at the end I was not expecting at all (shame on me!). It's interesting... n if you're not into horror films. Full Review

An ingeniously twisted mockumentary.Full Review

At its best, Behind the Mask offers some, um, cutting insights about mass-media blood lust and the cult of the serial killer, and in Baesel, who is by turns charming, manic and thoroughly scary, it has a gifted young actor who clearly relishes a role he can sink his pitchfork into.Full Review

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

The movie's a cheeky, low-budget goof on dice-and-slice horror films, but for all the visible seams, it's a lot cleverer than "Scream."Full Review
