Is It Worth Watching?
Yes. If you appreciate some clever parodies and a pretty interesting concept, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is definitely worth watching. It has some brilliant dark comedy, and the first half is especially fun and smart, and it plays with familiar horror tropes in an amusing way, making it great for fans who know the genre well. It’s a creative and entertaining film, let down slightly by the 2nd half. [Read the full review]

The mash-up of mockumetary and slasher is kind of an odd mix. A pretty unique take on both genres, if you go into it knowing its being presented with a level of camp, then I think you'll enjoy it. Others who just like the mockmentary style, likely already understand a level of letting things go a bit in order for the story to work and thats ok. As a fan of both genres, I found it fun.
