The next Film Club selection is one of those movies that's gotten a lot of press, though I have no idea if it's been good or bad. Read enough issues of Rue Morgue and visit enough horror news websites and these titles get stuck in your head, you know? The unceasing waves of news, press releases, set visits, and interviews bludgeon you and bludgeon you until you find yourself glassy-eyed and drooling, intoning "Must...see...Martin...Lawrence...starring in...time-travelling...horror...comedy romp... Sir... Killzalot... have... no idea... why... desire so... strong... perhaps... it was his... masterful performance in...Big Momma's...House... or the sequel... Big Momma's House... 2... but wait... I never... saw... those... oh god...what's...happening...to me... and where... are... my... pants..."Something like that, anyway. Or maybe that's just me. At any rate, the next Film Club pick is Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, hooray! It won't hit store shelves until June 26, but you can add it to your Netflix queue already. Here's the skinny:
A self-promoting serial killer who dreams of being the most infamous slasher of all time hires a documentary film crew to follow him as he launches a reign of terror on a small town.
Yes, it sounds a bit like Man Bites Dog, doesn't it? Boy, it sure took a lot of Gaul to make such a similar film!
Ugh. Sorry about that.
Alright, let's all link pinks and form our big movie-watching daisy chain!
The film: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
The due date: July 23
