Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. One of the best surprises this year for me was seeing BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON at its premiere showing during SXSW. Scott Glosserman's flick is an extremely intelligent, but incredibly fun dissection of the slasher genre.

Anchor Bay has picked up the distribution rights to the flick and is actively putting it in theaters, which makes my day. I would hate to see this flick sent to direct to video jail. It's one of the best horror films I've seen... and I'm incredibly tough on non-serious horror. This one is a horror comedy the likes of which we've never seen and the mood turns on a dime. The levity turns to real scares at a moment's notice.

Anyway, the flick is released limitedly February 14th (the day before my Birthday, dontcha know?) and we've got a trailer for you. The production has asked us to announce the trailer on the official website... And the trailer's actually good. Plus our own Annette Kellerman gets a name-check! Enjoy the trailer and be sure to seek this flick out when it's released. I'd love to see this one go all over the country, not just pop up in a dozen theaters and quickly disappear. It's too good for that fate.
