SGM Month of Halloween Horror Movie for October 16

"Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" (2006)

From the back of the box: "You know legendary maniacs Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. Now meet Leslie Vernon, the next great psychoslasher. Nathan Baesel stars as Vernon, a good-natured killing machine who invites a documentary film crew to follow him as he reminisces with his murder mentor, evades his psychiatrist/nemesis, deconstructs Freudian symbolism, and meticulously plots his upcoming slaughter spree. But when the actual carnage begins, where do you draw the line between voyeuristic thrills, mythic evil, and good old-fashioned slasher movie mayhem?"

The haiku review
First, learn the basics.
Next, pick out your target group.
Then – Wholesale carnage!

Watch for: The simple yet effective design of Leslie Vernon The Slasher Killer; from the mask to the behavioral nuances.

Did you know? That was Kane Hodder, the actor who has most frequently portrayed Jason Voorhees, going into 1428 Elm Street – the old address of Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) – in the film’s first scene.
