Michelle Kisner The Movie Sleuth The Laughing Mask sits in that odd purgatory that is for films that are horrible but not bad enough to fall into the "so bad it's good" category. Rated: 3/10 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Courtney Button Starburst It's difficult to know where to start with this film and as advice to a potential viewer, we would say it's best not to start it at all.

Nicolas M Tubi TV has expanded their movie selection but this is an older one, Im usually up for an unknown indy so figure to give it a shot, it was a surprisingly good considering the obvious lower budget of the movie. The acting is ok, some good parts some bad ones overall pretty good, avoiding spoilers the twist was good, I didnt see it coming, the cg ish blood is a turn off for me thankfully most of the kills feature practical which makes it more jarring when we see a cartoon pool of blood pop out of nowhere. The writing was uneven, an example is a scene where someone says "I picked you up at the hospital" but she wasn't picked up at the hospital, but after the middle it really picks up steam. Im in 100% agreement that the Laughing Mask himself is the star of the show, its cool to see a different character and his motivation, it was fresh and different. Its definitely not a slasher so if you're looking for him to go all Jason just stabbing folks its not the movie for you.. Overall pretty solid and hope to see more of this character soon. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Paulo A Super interesting villain, the music choices were inspired, costume and mask were top knotch really, especially for low budget. Some of the things that took me out of it fall with some of the other guys, some of the acting looked like they just grabbed some random people from the street and gave them a script. Kate's husband was like a piece of wood trying to be human, Jake was half the time decent, the other half overacting the crap out of it. the gore cuts out before it happens, which is better than trying to do gore without money but the director got lucky picking some solid leads with Kate and Cordova. Its free so it wont hurt none to give it a try and enjoy the killer quite a bit. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Joana M Movie with lots of potential. Have you seen those horror movies that you know if they had the right amount of money they would've been a smash? This is one of them. Its a well crafted story with a superb looking villain stuck with budgetary restraints and shoddy casting. Every time I saw some of the weaker acting it made me think what an amazing job a blumhouse or something would be able to do by just injecting some budget into it. Its a great little horror movie and I love the premise and the killer, well directed and written, acting was all over the place, from good to solid with rivers and lee for example to really bad from some of the supporting cast. The star of the show is the main character and that I can say they hit the jackpot beginning to end. I was surprised this is from 2014 and I just saw it now so likely no sequels or anything, but felt we couldve had more. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Alex M I recommend it to anyone looking for a good horror film but not too picky about the budget. I totally understand some of the comments out there if you're not aware of what you're getting into, but for a low budget film its totally worth the watch and compared to other similar films out there with the same budget I say this is on that top. This apparently been out for awhile and I just caught it on Tubi but did not regret it. The masked killer is the highlight of the movie for sure but there is a cool twist I didnt see coming Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Jonathan M Thought was pretty cool, the mask is very creepy and the story is well put together, and worth the watch. It's free on Tubi so not missed out on anything to give it a try and I'm glad I did. I'm a fan of Indy horror so the lower budget doesn't bother me. Effects were on point, chainsaw scene was my favorite, ending has a nice twist. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Jim H Just caught this one Tubi, definitely a low budge thriller, if you go into it thinking anything different you will not be happy. If you go remembering you're watching an indy movie with a low budget it offers a very different take of the slasher genre. The scenes at his "lair" were by far my favorites and I wish we seen more of the character. As some of the other reviews noted, the acting is hit or miss and some of those guys are not really actors by a mile and a half, so its jarring to see some good acting followed by a terrible one, but feels like an issue with the budget. Again the character, gore and twist were enough to win me over. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
