Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Freddy, Jason, Michael. We all need someone to look up to.
The next great psycho horror slasher has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.

The mash-up of mockumetary and slasher is kind of an odd mix. A pretty unique take on both genres, if you go into it knowing its being presented with a level of camp, then I think you'll enjoy it. Others who just like the mockmentary style, likely already understand a level of letting things go a bit in order for the story to work and thats ok. As a fan of both genres, I found it fun.
