Summary
If there is a presumption that Canadian horror began with David Cronenberg, think again! THE MASK tells the tale of an unusual mask which allows the wearer to achieve hallucinatory visions of a surreal and supernatural world. Like most fanciful opportunities, these benefits come with deadly side effects: the visions ultimately induce madness. Of notable merit is THE MASK's four brief 3-D sequences. Slavko Vorkapich was responsible for crafting these clever sequences of mild yet memorable terror (and function remarkably well whether you have 3-D glasses or not). "Put the mask on now!"
