jadflack-22130 Restricted somewhat by it's low budget, this Canadian made horror film is interesting, and I would imagine be even better, if seen in it's original 3D form. The effects in the "flat version"look like they could be effective. Film starts off well, but nothing really is explained and film's climax is disappointing, but overall not a bad little "B" movie.
rosemariefullerton I cant help but think perhaps if i was a bit older, I would have appreciated this movie more..but as it goes, I was only six. My brothers went to the movies earlier that year you see to watch the wonderful and enlightening Born Free..I wanted to see that. But no..by the time I got to go to the movies it wasn't playing in our neighborhood any longer and this was. The Mask..yikes. This is the very first movie i ever saw in the theater and well lets just say it was pretty confusing and scary. I do remember some parts of it being very colorful..:). Anyway, this memory has haunted me for all these years so I was bound and determined to find it and watch it again. Thanks to ebay and the US postal service, I should have this lovely film within a couple of weeks maybe even sooner, so that i can pop open a soda and grab a bowl of popcorn and reminisce..now if I can only find some 3D glasses I will be all set....
rufasff This silly, stagy, slow moving horror film is probably still the best 3D movie ever made. Once you wait through the bland story, and the call comes to "Put On The Mask"; it becomes another film. These 3D sequences are the best, freakest ever put on film, and they transfer to TV remarkably well in the Elvira edition. If you have any taste for oddities at all, this is a must.
ozymandias312 I actually saw this in a sticky-floored, popcorn-smelling old theater in about 1963 or '64, at age seven or eight. I believe it was the first 3-D movie I had ever seen. We had the little two-tone cellophane and cardboard eyeglasses and everything. What can I tell you, the dream or hallucination sequences made a big impression on me at the time. When I stumbled upon a copy of the Elvira-hosted version in the mid-'90s I snapped it up. It's actually in 3-D, and comes with the special 3-D viewing spectacles. I was a little let down. It all seemed so blurry and out of focus, and struggling with the glasses broke the mood. A couple of years later it was broadcast on one of the cable movie channels and I watched and taped it. I thought it was actually a little *better* without the distracting 3-D effects.
