3/5
"Fun stuff, though the jokes ultimately miss as much as they hit"
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
5/5
"A mini-masterpiece... one of the best indie films in recent memory."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
3/4
"An ingenious modern take on the slasher genre. Big fun that mixes well its comic aspirations with gritty, down-and-dirty suspense."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
"Desperately overcompensating for the fact that most horror films are already parodies of themselves,
Behind the Mask
takes a bite out of the dumb
Scream
franchise before devouring its own tail, proving that you are what you eat."
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
B+
"Both funny and creepy, just like the best entries in the genre it spoofs."

Eric D. Snider
3/5
"As a pop-culture parlor game for fans...
Behind the Mask
scores. Otherwise, it's a shaggy dog story, enlivened by Baesel and Wilson's terrific performances."
Boxoffice Magazine
Jay Antani
4.5/5
"This is the best horror movie to come by in years."
Film Threat
Jeremy Knox
3.5/4.0
"... a sort of
Scream
meets
The Blair Witch Project
... a romp through the good ol' days before horror films became Japanese remakes or rated PG-13..."

"Other than displaying a textbook awareness of its ancestors,
Behind the Mask
offers next to nothing"
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
1.5/4
"For all of its lame distastefulness,
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
is a sadly appropriate reflection of its time."
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
4/5
"If you've grown up on the unending exploits of the 80s cinematic stalkers, you'll find a lot to enjoy here."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
2.5/4
