Jason, Freddy, Myers. We All Need Someone To Look Up To.

Movie recommendation time.

Behind the mask: the rise of Leslie Vernon is perhaps the best film I've seen in...well, since the last time I said that.



Been wanting to see it for sometime, and found it at Wal Mart the other day, on the shelf a week early for some reason.

It is about a documentary crew that follows around an up and coming serial killer as he plans his kills and gives away the tricks of the trade. You know, the stuff you've seen Jason and Freddy do countless times.

It's part mockumentary, part comedy, part spoof and part legit horror film.

There ares these times, where it switches from "documentary" style to regular film style and it's like watching a classic slasher film. It's pulled of very well.

The documentary bits are hilarious, especially if you're a horror fan, as Leslie explains how and why certain horror movie cliches exist and continue to exist and so on. It's also quite surreal at times, listening to people go on about his "job" as if he just works at McDonalds or something. Good shit.

Anyway, see it, even if you don't like horror movies. It's smart, funny and just very entertaining.

And no, not overly violent or scary.
