for those consider if they should invest the 80 minute or so to watch this film and allow a true horror fan to give you his ten cent . first let talk about the bad . because let face it . it rare for a film to get something right . bad represent 1 . ) plot hole represent there be a few plot hole in the film in regard to a few of the central character represent leslie background and eugene be never explain and and of course neither be the doc ( sorry and forget his name ) . 2 . ) the reaction of the film crew . at time they seem to be have fun with this whole and real life slasher or movie guru and but there be a big shift at the end when the killing start . this be odd and because earlier in the film someone get kill too and nobody seem that work up over it . oh wait . it must have be because she be some short and old woman . 3 . ) act represent this be hard to classify see a this be a low budget b movie and but sometimes the actor do a great job and then other time it do not work for me . some of the line seem force and the acting and here and there and a bit stiff and wooden . especially all the teen and oh man and they suck . 4 . ) gore hound will be disappoint in this movie because most of the kill aren not show or be shoot at a distant . this do not bother me in this day and age where gore be constant in film ( hostel or saw ) . however and when make a parody of 80 slasher film and gore be everywhere . i mean hell and it be the rise of the splatter flick . how can you make a movie like this without have gore . feddy and michael and and jason create the slasher or gore genre in the state . if they be go to do this part of the film well they should have make the gore over the top in a kind of peter jackson or sam raimi style . oh well and maybe it wasn not in their budget . 4 . ) the last five minute of the movie be a bust . thing happen so quick i couldn not help but think oh no and theyre run out of money . it be either that or the editor make a few too many snip . i would not point anything out and because it spoil a few kill and but you will see it when it happen . good 1 . ) extremely funny . i wasn not sure about this movie when i get it go out on a limb after hear some decent review . this movie hook me from the start with it campiness and black humor and and twist . a lot of people point at scream a be the movie that turn the horror genre upside down by play with a particular genre but i think behind the mask do a much good job . 2 . ) great line and for the most part and good performance . the main character and leslie and reporter chick and eugene and etc . where all act really well . sure they miss a few spot here and there and but over all and they be good . leslie really sell his role well and good than some of the lead hollywood actor these day that for sure . 3 > ) fun story . this be what the horror genre need and people who make fun camp movie . in today sick age where we get all these stupid torture porn movie and it nice to sit back and just enjoy the story . sure and a i mention above and the gore be miss to an extent and but at least it wasn not in my face the whole time and replace good storytelling with some cheap splatter effect . 4 . ) this movie be great for drink game . man and there be so many symbol and inside joke and and reference that i want to see it again just to see what i miss during the first viewing . okay and overall and it an enjoyable film especially for u guy from the 80 who grow up with the movie reference in this . for those look for something scary or full of gore skip it . you will only be disappoint and but if your look for a fun flick and check this one out .
