Well, I was talked into watching Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon....
mmmm.... nice cast; good performances; some very good ideas there... and, like Branagh's Frankenstein... the corpse never got up off the table. (Okay, given the final moments of the film, that's a bad joke... but fitting....)
I think the problem with what we're seeing these days with this sort of thing... they have these really nifty ideas, and get together a really good group of people to do it... and even know how to do something visually very interesting... but they simply don't think the damn' things through, so they end up with these choppy, regurgitated messes that hold together about as well as a cobweb in a tornado.....
