Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon (Spoiler Warning)

It's a rather misleading title but in this movie Leslie is a guy, not a
girl, although he could pass for a handsome woman with his slight build.

This movie should have been marketed as a comedy except that it's not very
funny. I wouldn't call it a horror movie but more of a spoof/parody.
Director was too busy adding hidden references to real horror movies that he
forgot to come up with a plausible story. He really ought to have stuck
with the premise of a camera crew following a would-be serial killer and
went with it but he simply couldn't resist padding up the story so the movie
would last at least an hour.

Good job to Anchor Bay for their ability to market such a turd of a movie.
So few people saw this movie in the theater that nobody could warn everyone
about the DVD until it's purchased.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, yes I could see every nod to every slasher
flick, and I admit it took me a little while to realise who the real
intended victim was (before she realised herself) but it was still kind of
unexpected.

I say it was a parody that still managed to be a decent slasher flick
