behind the mask or the rise of leslie vernon be an exceptionally well write horror or slasher film or mockumentary . i do not expect very much and because i be watch a lot of movie lately and 50 % of the movie that get a high rating on imdb actually be crap ( seem a if a lot of people have bad taste and ungh . ) . btm or trolv be low budget and for sure you can see it when watch it . also the actor be not totally on top and but all play at least acceptable . the one thing that really kick it for me be the story line and although it be very reminiscent of rémy belvaux man bite dog from 92. it be some year that i have see man bite dog ( omg . 15 year . ) but i remember mbd be much more cynical and dark and so represent leslie vernon actually be a little bit more moderate while nevertheless it have some really good twist and subtle humor . please note that i write subtle . this be not scary movie and so you will not laugh until the beer you have just sip squirt out of your nose because you can not hold yourself laugh . it also not a real slasher film and because you do not see much slash around and there be not many horrify close ups ( besides some rip out larynx that look rather artificial ) . it generally not very gory and it not laugh out loud funny and but all in all i highly enjoy watch it . don not ask me how i come to my ( relatively high ) rating and because there be no real highlight beside the well write script and actor be good ( not more ) and camera work be really good ( nothing special though ) and edit be fine ( but nothing special ) and sound be fine ( but nothing special ) and but nevertheless i would highly recommend watch it together with a girl and a big bag of popcorn and a beer . not perfect but great to watch . positive .  spoiler  ps represent i hope leslie will rise again from the death for a second part x_0 pps represent if you be disappoint by this film then go and rent man bite dog . it much more dark and cynical a i mention before . this movie be more a bastard of man bite dog plus scream .
