Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
A diamond in the rough
I must say this film was great. I'm not typically one to watch movies that are both Comedy and Horror. But this was definitely a standout film in the Comedy Horror genre. I would recommend Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon to horror film buffs especially. Being a horror movie buff myself, I found that this flick really put the classic slasher films to good use. They formed a sort of method to the slasher's madness and I have to say I loved that. I also appreciated the slight twist at the ending. I would love to see another film like this to be created. It is definitely worth the watch. Although if you are prone to motion sickness, it may be triggered by the moments where a hand-held camera is used. Other than that, I highly recommend the movie!
The Hills Run Red (2009)
The film was good, but...
While the film had a good plot line, I believe it could have been executed a lot better. I think they should have taken the time to delve into the mind of Concannon. Yes, he was absolutely crazy. But what made him that way? I also would have liked to have seen some more traps rather than straight up murder. I really appreciated the use of the trap in the tree scene, it would have been nice to have something along those lines done in the film. I love when the writers get more creative with killing someone, instead of just a knife to the throat or something. I think a confrontation between Tyler and Lalo in which Tyler finds out about the fling between Lalo and Serina. That would have increased the tension in the film indefinitely. Overall, I think The Hills Run Red was a pretty good movie. I would recommend it, but maybe not as a first choice.
