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."  EricDSnider.com  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..."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

C
"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
"has it weak parts but also some very strong ones"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson
