Meet your Maker By: Sasha Slaughter

Oh hey there die-hard DEH fans! Thanks for stopping by to stalk us. This week we'll be doing some random stuff, and I've got a different kind of post for you on Thursday, but I won't ruin the surprise. =) And Zane will be finishing up is horror movie bracket, who will be #1?? Stay tuned! 

As for today, I thought maybe I'd review a movie from Suckflix...I mean Netflix. Lately I've been finding a bunch of off the wall horror films that I've never heard of, and neither has Zane...and that's saying something cuz Zane knows ALOT about horror films. The movie I'll be reviewing today is called Mask Maker (Meet your Maker). It was released in 2010 and written by G.E. Furst and Eric Miller and was directed by G.E. Furst. Now let's see what it's all about shall we?
Evan Reynold's decides to give his girlfriend the surprise of a lifetime, and buys an old plantation house in the country that sits on forty acres of land. Shocked at first, Jennifer finally comes around and can't wait to start a life in their new home. Evan reveals that he got the plantation plus the land for a mere ten thousand dollars, and Jennifer wonders aloud why it was so cheap. 

But what they are about to discover from the small town, and personal experiences, tells them exactly why they got such a great deal on the home. They decide to invite a few friends over to help them clean up and start fixing up the place. 

But soon after, their friends start disappearing one by one, which at first goes unnoticed. Jennifer finds an old diary that belonged to Lydia Beaufort, and reads in it terrible entry's about a boy named Leonard and his medical condition. She then discovers that Evan has bought Lydia's old home.
Jennifer also finds strange satanic symbols and voodoo curses in the diary, but thinks nothing of it. She learns from Mr. Peck, who works at a local store, the story of the house and the woman that the diary belonged to. He tells her of a boy named Leonard, who was said to have been touched by the devil. 

Lydia was believed to be a witch and was hung one night after sacrificing an infant to save Leonard's life. As Leonard tried to save the witch, he was stabbed and buried on the land in a small graveyard with a voodoo staff stuck into his grave so that he cannot rise from the dead. But Evan stumbles upon the staff and takes it out of the ground, causing Leonard to come back, and seek revenge on those who killed Lydia.
WOW!! Such drama...such suspense. Am I good or what? haha. This movie wasn't all that bad. I mean, there were some major holes in the plot, but it works. And I gotta say, how many slashers can you rip off in a single movie?? The cursed killer dude murdered people and then ripped off their faces and wore their skin....Sound familiar?? 

But it was kind of cool how the guy decapitated his victims and ripped their faces off in one piece instead of sewing them together. Total badass. Ohh and the film also kind of ripped off Halloween. Totally. The way he wore the faces really made him look like Michael Myers. I mean, he even wore a jumpsuit at one point and did the slow walk. What??? 
And the flashbacks were kind of confusing. They were mainly flashbacks of the story of the masked killer and the witch, but they didn't make a whole lot of sense. Like, they never said what his medical condition was and why his face was always bandaged.

The plot was decent, although the acting was pretty bland. The only redeeming quality was the gore, and there was plenty of it. A few decapitations, death by axe...ahh and plenty of blood. And for you pervs out there, there were a few ass and boob shots. Although the boob shots were nothing to get a boner over..unless you're a fan of the itty bitty titty committee. HA! 
Overall I'd give Mask Maker (Meet your Maker) a 2.5 out of 5. I wasn't very impressed, and the movie was average at best. But the gore kind of upped the score for me. I don't know if I would recommend this movie. 

I mean maybe if you were bored and wanted to watch something that you won't really pay attention to, or if you just wanna see some ta ta's. Whatever floats your boat. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to see what Zane has going on for this week.
