Here is a gem charging in out of left field. Why are the Cannon Cruisers giving a horror movie from the '00s a perfect score, and not only that but a slasher movie on top of it? Shouldn't we be far more critical of it, considering our tastes?
It turns out that Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is part comedy, part horror, part mockumentary, and yet also both a deconstruction and reconstruction of the slasher genre. It highlights what makes it stand out, why it resonates, and why it (at the time) had been so ubiquitous for two decades. In the two decades since its release it has only aged better.
Truth be told, it's nearly flawless. Let's discuss why that is in today's episode!
