“The dream sequences loom out at the audience with fever-dream intensity… [the 3D] makes utterly alien and peculiar imagery feel present and inescapable.” – MUBI NotebookShot in Toronto on a shoestring budget, THE MASK (retitled Eyes of Hell for its American release) claims the distinction of being the very first feature-length Canadian horror movie. But it’s no mere footnote in cinematic history; it’s a strange, surreal trip that turns the act of wearing anaglyph 3D glasses into part of the theatrical experience: When Barnes’ voice intones the immortal words, “Put the mask on, now!,” the audience puts on their glasses to witness the doctor’s visions, a riot of psychedelic imagery rendered in bright, blazing color. The film’s jolting nightmare imagery is spawned by an ancient tribal mask with the power to drive its wearers to madness. Will you escape with your sanity intact?
Premiering at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, this edition of THE MASK was digitally restored by the 3-D Film Archive from the best surviving 35mm film elements. The film will be presented in anaglyph 3D. Glasses will be provided.
