The Laughing Mask

Looked interesting, was free on Tubi and why not? Its not high budget but the use of practicals was very well done. The quality shifts a lot, like the scene where they find the body was awful but the kill scenes and especially his "lair" was very well done. The killer steals the show but there are little things here for everyone. Ending left it super open to what? I couldn't find anything after this. The killer character has the bones to be a superstar to be honest, I loved the look, the 30s aesthetic and music choices, Unfortunately it was wrapped around some very mid talent outside the main actress and the main bad guy.

Loved the killer, Laughing Mask is scary and funny at the same time, he's cool and it remind me of what would happen if The Shadow and The Joker had a love child.

That said I wanted rip roaring killing spree.. I saw a dude with a chainsaw man and blood in the preview and I wanted carnage and didn't get it. The kill scenes are not graphic or gory but at least they're kill scenes, but there is not enough "mask time" in the movie for my tastes.

Every second of the storyline I was just basically waiting for the mask to show up again and kill people LOL . It was not a bad movie, just not at all what I was expecting. I wanted blood dammit.. blood blood blood!!!!

Good mood and fun setup. The killer is the start of this and as it should be, I saw some crazy reviews here but all of them praise the character and they're right. If the move had focused more on the kills and less on the investigation stuff this would've been much better rating, as is I gave it a 10 because I see a lot of 1's skewing this and its deserves way more than the 3 it got. Yeah the acting is rough, yeah the sound is rough in some parts but dude did magic with the $6 he had for budget and we should at least give him some props for that. Not sure why I just saw this but its on Tubi, its free and the kills are sweet. I don't need more.

Caught it on Tubi, Im a low budget film freak, and I don't mean low budget like these 3 mil plus movies out there, I mean I like to see what people can do with near nothing, for me its the closest we get to real cinema. With that in mind, this is a perfect example of a full-feature film being done with whatever you have around you and turning out great. There is obviously no budget to speak of. The actors are all unknowns, and some only have this as their only film, Aguiar's strengths were the character itself, referenced in tons of other reviews here, its polished and a great killer. Using music to deliver the dialogues was a great touch and free music even better. The more technical aspects fail somewhat, sound is rough and ADR sounded spotty in several outside scenes but the cinematography is truly great with some really inspired kill scenes. Is it super polished? No, is the acting rough at parts? Yes but its the fun of low budget films. Give it a try!

Most fans watching this flick are very much like myself waiting for a brainless slasher type. Unfortunately we don't get one.

This is a thriller, Im not sure why the horror sites picked it up as a horror movie but its not at all. Some other reviews already went over it so Ill just make it simple the good and bad..

I watched this recently, was not at the event but was given the opportunity to watch it and was both disappointed and surprised at the same time..

Disappointed because even though the movie is made in FL and we have a ton of wannabe filmmakers here dishing out all kinds of garbage, I had high hopes for this and was not happy with the lack of blood. The kills are solid and atmosphere was creepy, but there was not enough blood to make me happy..

Surprised because although it wasn't a good horror film, was a great police thriller. There was the main plot and the subplot running at the same time, a cool killer and a twist ending. The acting was there but clearly the low budget aspect of the film shows in the acting but it needs to be taken into consideration.

Cinematography was on point and I was given a link to watch this in full 4k. Although I don't have the TV or monitor to run it in full 4k it looked amazing to me, the colors very vibrant and the script was an old school revenge flick with a saw type twist.

I was surprised overall and even though I was upset it wasn't the horror movie I signed up for it definitely was worth the time.
