Syl (Shelby Lyn Vogel) and Maddie (Danielle Inks) are filmmakers - well,
they make adult films, but hey, film's film, and you need to do auditions
for adult films just as you need htem for mainstream films - Only you can
go quite a bit further in auditions for adult entertainment than in
regular auditions. But the girls always find willing performers - it's
just, they aren't quite honest to their performers, as they actually make
snuff movies, and during their shoots, that are at times quite bizarre by
themselves, usually a big masked man (Michael Witherel) enters and starts
to brutally torture the performers, break their bones and sever their
limbs until they die. This is by no means pretty, but if there's a market
for it ... Maskhead is by no means an
easy-to-digest movie, as it's well aware how disturbing ts topic in itself
it and really plays with it, showing all the violence in great detail,
with the camera often uncomfortably close and shaky enough to fake
realism. The other thing that's disturbing is that the lead have
absolutely no backstory or character arc - which really works for the
movie here, as it presents them almost as forces of nature. Likewise,
their victims usually do have a bit of an arc, making them more
than mere cannon fodder and their brutal deaths matter. All that said,
definitely not a film for everybody, and you do need a strong stomach to
enjoy, but if you like your horror ultra-violent and utterly disturbing,
then this one'd definitely for you.
