Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon •• [two out of five]

The film just rubbed me the wrong way.  Perhaps I was expecting horror with comedy and instead got comedy with horror.  While I understand Nathan Baesal’s high-energy, generally positive portrayal of Leslie as a purposeful juxtaposition with his slasher personae, there’s not enough focus on the difference to make it work.

Juxtapositions always make things work, though
