Mask Maker (2010)

What are the odds that we would randomly pick two movies that had the same lead actor which none of us had ever seen before?  Weird.  The guy who plays Evan was also a lead in Kill Katie Malone.

Evan buys an old farmhouse as a surprise for his fiance Jennifer.  At first Jennifer is angry, but when she finds out the house is full of antiques, plus there's the barn, a few out buildings, and forty acres of land which only cost ten thousand dollars, she cheers up.

The house has been abandoned for fifty years, yet there is no dust and everything is in good condition.  Evan's lack of intelligence is apparent as he is not the least bit suspicious of this incredible deal.  Granted, he probably wouldn't think of a psycho killer who may rise from the dead buried on the grounds, but at a minimum he should check to see if the land was used as a toxic waste dumping ground, or there is some sort of smog belching factory about to be built right next to the house.

While in town to buy supplies, the kindly local store owner (played by Micheal Berryman) and drunken helper Mr. Peck are stunned to hear they've purchased the farm.  Peck spouts a warning, which puzzles the couple, but Evan surmises that Peck is just jealous because Evan got such a good deal on the home.  Oh Evan, simple soft headed Evan....

When Peck drops off the supplies at their house, he sees they have removed the stick topped with an  animal skull from the graveyard - oh did I mention there's a small graveyard behind the house?  Peck  literally drops the supplies and peels out of there.  Jennifer wonders why he's so terrified, while Evan's lack of cranial functioning is confirmed when he reiterates Peck is jealous.  Yeah, jealous people always look terrified and run away in a panic.  And I'm sure he couldn't save up the hefty $10K in the fifty years that the property has been empty.  Yup, he's totally jealous.

The movie takes liberties with films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th.  We've got an isolated farmhouse, a killer who wears the faces of his victims, and a girl who puts on the clothing of the killers mother in order to save herself.

There is a twist ending which is obvious.  The most ridiculous part of the film is that when the killer  wears their friends faces, they don't notice.  Oh hey buddy, what are you doing out here? Seriously, they can't tell.
