Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

The Good:
The campy "behind the scenes documentary" feel of this film was brilliantly executed.

The scenes of the "retired" cereal killer talking about the good old days was hysterical.

Great shout outs to other films of the slasher/horror genre in that "what Scream did right" kind of way.

Nathan Baesel - who played Leslie Vernon - was excellent.

The Bad:
The main female character was TOO over the top. I didn't care if she lived or died. In fact, I would have voted "die please - and soon so I don't have to listen to your idiotic ramblings anymore".

All in all:
Definitely unique - and enjoyable. I'd watch it again if I saw it on TV but I wouldn't pay for it. An assured one time viewer.

The Gravedancers

Another from the After Dark Horror Fest series. Going in to seeing this one they were 2 and 2 from last years. Unfortunately after seeing this movie they are now 2-3.

The Good:
That guy from Prison Break (Dominic Purcell) is pretty.

The Bad:
Almost every single horror movie cliche is contained within this film - and unlike with Scream, they aren't doing it to be funny.

The "ghosts" may as well have been taken out of any one of the Evil Dead trilogy because every damn one of them was a Deadite.

That guy from Prison Break is a bad actor, though I will give him a passing grade for Blade Trinity.

All in all:
No, for the love of all that is pure and holy, no.
