In Glen Echo, Maryland, the reporter Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) is preparing a documentary with her crew about the ultimate serial killer Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel), the true successor of Jason Voorhees, Fred Krueger and Michael Myers. The helpful Vernon, who was murdered in Nelly Falls, welcomes Taylor and exposes his plan for his reappearance on the anniversary of his death. He follows the virgin Kelly Curtis (Kate Lang Johnson), who will gather her friends in the former Leslie's house, and will kill each one of them. However, when Taylor finishes her work, she decides to help the other teenagers.
"Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" is original deconstructing the clichés of horror movies, but it does not work well. The first part of the movie is boring, flawed and too long, instead of funny. When the bloodshed begins, it becomes more interesting without being special. The IMDb rating (7.0) is actually overrated, misleading the readers. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Por Trás da Máscara O Surgimento de Leslie Vernon" ("Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon")
