i have never be a fan of scream and but i be go to give credit to it for be a semi original idea in it time . now over ten year later and behind the mask represent the rise of leslie vernon do the exact same thing that scream do and everyone think it oh so original because it copy the same formula . that about the equivalent of say represent if you be nonconforming too and you would be just like me . the premise of interview a slasher villain be nothing different from man bite dog and then the movie just use the exact same joke and plot point a scream . exact . this have to be in one of the top 250 unoriginal movie of all time because there be not a single thing that scott glosserman thought of himself . if unoriginality be the first major flaw of behind the mask represent the rise of leslie vernon and the second major flaw be just a annoy . the predictability . about 15 minute in i already figure out the remainder of the plot and include what some people will loosely call the plot twist in the middle . it just paradoxical that while this movie try to make clichés laughable and it fall into every one of them at least once without notice . now that be something to laugh at and not the lame joke . the acting be iffy . leslie himself and a some have mention and it a total pansy and doesn not deserve to be mention in the same breath a the villain he compare himself to . some of his joke be smile worthy and but that doesn not take the edge off the utterly boring moment where the camera sit and star at a wall with nothing happen . or the boring conversation scene . another thing that really bother me be the lack of any gore whatsoever . every scene when something even mildly violent happens and the camera be look at the floor or the wall or someone face . i have see countless pg 13 movie with more blood . this be suppose to be a parody of the slasher genre and yet it show no slashing . be i really the only one who have a problem with that . overall and behind the mask represent the rise of leslie vernon add nothing new or original to the good parody out there . it can not stand on it own two foot and so to speak and and it have the entertainment value and thrill of watch a dead tree rot . what a sad waste of movie right . negative .
