‘Behind the Mask’, mmmm post-modern

Behind the MaskI remember seeing the trailer for this movie a while back and generally just being confused by it, a post-modern horror movie, that turns back into a horror movie at certain points? Since then I've seen a new cut of the trailer and heard some of the good things that people have had to say about it. Specifically I recall Todd from Twitch saying it was his favourite film of the After Dark Festival, clever, sharp and wickedly funny. So the one-sheet just got released and it reminded me that I'd never posted anything about it, and thought I should. Here's a quick overview of the plot:

The next great psycho horror slasher has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.

I've no idea if it'll ever get a proper release over her in the UK, but I'm sure the dvd will be out pretty soon anyway.
