BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON gets theatrical distribution next January!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some great news. One of my favorite movies I've seen this year is BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON. This film has done the festival circuit and finally found a home at Anchor Bay Entertainment. Anchor Bay is known mostly as a great genre DVD distributor, but they're looking to get into theatrical distribution and they picked a great flick to kick things off. It gets a release on January 5th, released in a dozen markets and, hopefully, expanding after that.
BEHIND THE MASK is one of those films that shouldn't work... it's so hard to balance true comedy and horror, but newbie Scott Glosserman did it with his movie. I liked it so much I saw it twice at SXSW. And we've been getting reviews from all over the world as it's played other festivals and it's been unanimously positive. This film is the real deal and I can't wait to see it live a theatrical life. I'm really pulling for Anchor Bay... they've had great taste in titles to release on DVD and they're starting off on the right foot with this one. Good luck, guys!

Behind the Mask, but it was changed to Hannibal Rising. I'm so happy for Scott. He's a really great guy and truly loves the genre.
Hee ! -
to see this flick. I hope it get's a wide enough distribution....
-
Saw it at the UK Frightfest in August - I highly reccomend it. Theatrical releases for Anchor Bay? Good. Might take there minds off endless re-releases of Evil Dead and Halloween!
-
I saw this at FrightFest in London too, and it's a fun movie. Yay!
-
the new Hannibal film was given the equally bad "Hannibal Rising" title.
-
Saw it at the Dublin Horrorthon. It really is a great movie.
-
Damn you Michael Bay!! etc.
-
Saw it at SXSW. LOVED IT! Can't wait to see it again.
-
Saw it at a festival, and it was extremely well done. Its greatest weankess is the title, which tells you nothing about the kind of movie it is.
