The Mask
This 1961 horror classic from director Julian Roffman (The Bloody Brood) is being sold as the first and only 3D feature film ever produced by Canada. Canada should probably sue. Like a lot of 3D films in theaters these days, the 3D in The Mask is not only the least interesting part of the film, dramatically speaking, but is also incredibly cheap to watch, especially through the paper 3D glasses included with the DVD. The story is about a young archeologist who digs up an ancient mask and, evidently, the curse that goes along with it. The mask drives him to suicide, but before he kills himself he mails the mask to his psychologist (if for no other reason that otherwise the movie would be very, very short). If you ignore the effects, it’s a passable B…make that C … movie.
