Mask Maker makes the worst mistake that a horror film can for about an hour of its running time. It just doesn't stand out. There's nothing distinctive about the film. There's nothing memorable about Mask Maker. It just doesn't do anything that makes it stand apart from all the other horror films on the market.

*Here be some spoilers.
Director: Griff Furst.
Writer: Eric Miller and Griff Furst.
Tagline: "Dying is the easy part."
Lafayette, Louisiana is continuing to develop an indie film making scene, with Active Entertainment and Bullet Films debuting one of their first slashers this year. The title is Mask Maker, previously Maskerade. Set in farmland, a manor house holds unimagined voodoo curses and one killer with a serious identity problem. He compensates for a disfigured face with the peeled grimaces of others. Not for the squeamish, Mask Maker's best qualities are its hoodoo mythos, the excellent acting, and some exceptionally gory scenes.
A young child is accidentally cut along the top of the skull and soon, infection sets into the wound. Nothing will heal this injury, until his mother turns to a voodoo spell. The stumbling block comes about when she has to sacrifice animals and later humans to keep her son alive.

Wrestlers and Dtv movies are made for each other (I've covered one such pairing in this column before). Most of these straight-to-dvd movies are just schlock action soap operas, and what is wrestling if not schlock action soap operas in front of a live studio audience? Even if they don't have much acting experience, wrestlers already have all the other necessary prereqs: lots of practice in front of the camera, the ability to do their own stunts, and built-in believability as ass kickers. Take a guy like Dave Bautista, former WWE Heavyweight Champion and the top-billed actor in "Wrong Side of Town." Do I want to see him in "Death of a Salesman?" No. Can he handle a story about two former Navy Seals trying to survive after a bounty is placed on their heads? Absolutely.
Now that I think about it, I kind of do want to see Bautista's "Death of a Salesman.

Sometimes actor, producer and director, Griff Furst has a new film on the way called Maskerade featuring Treat Williams and Michael Berryman as well as Nikki Deloach, Stephen Colletti, Ross Britz and Jeepers Creepers ' Jonathan Breck. A trailer has gone live at the film's official site . Maskerade concerns a lucky couple who hits the jackpot when they purchase a 19th century plantation home for pennies on the dollar. Determined to get rich quick, they invite their friends up for the weekend to celebrate their good fortune. It's quickly apparent that the plantation home's former residents have not left and the unlucky youths suddenly find themselves running for their lives. Standard crazed family fare, it sounds like. Let's see what Furst can do to dusty off an old concept.
