With the rising prices of movie tickets
today, it is essential that
everyone know about a miserable little attempt at
committing film and be
aware that it is a total waste of time, celloloid
and money.

This may or may not have anything to do with
Spiritualism or the Occult,
but...

I just wasted ten dollars on a pre-release
viewing of the New Hanibal
Lectre movie "Behind the Mask". I honestly got up
and left the theatre
after the first ten minutes of the film and did
not even bother demanding
my money back. Anthony Hopkins and his two
co-stars in the previous films
should sue the producers of this monstrousity (a
monster in the theatrical
sense) for defaming them and the characters that
they so realistically
brought to life. Most sequels are not as good as
the originals, but this
turkey will still be heard clucking 100 years
from now. This movie doesn't
just suck. It inhales. It blows ragged chunks.
This film was so bad that it wasn't released, it escaped. Usually with a less
than perfect sequel I
recommend that you wait (if you just must subject
yourself to torture)
until it appears on the dollar rack. This piece
of cinematic tripe is not
even woth the dollar that you would wast to rent
it. It is ghastly. It is
bad. Not only is the acting something that you
would see in a jr. high school play, the plot is so contrived and patched
together it is impossible
to follow even if you were a big enough
massochist to want to do so. Anyone
who would enjoy this film is also the type of
person who would enjoy
torturing cats and pulling the wings off of
flies. Normal people... those
who enjoy quality thrilliers.. . will be nausiated
by this attempt to
capitalize on the name of a known character and
defame the reputationos of
Tony Hopkins and Jody Foster.

The producers of this film should have been Dr.
Lectre's first victims.
