To be short and sweet, the story was very good, pacing was really fast.. I mean there are too many layers they tried to go for with the story and yet the runtime didn't allow for the plot to be developed as it should..
Clearly due to being a lower budget flick, but Id like to see a longer movie.. What we got was still very good thriller, The Laughing Mask himself is a threat to watch, Jeff Jenkins does a great job at bringing to life a killer that can't speak by his mannerisms and movements. Very Doug Jones.. I didn't care for the female lead at all to be honest, she didn't convince me as a "tough" detective for a second. Jake Johnson was good by my favorite was Cordova.
Of course the name of the movie being "The Laughing Mask" you expect to see a lot of attention being payed to the title character and it shows. He is terrifying, menacing and yet funny at the same time. The pasta eating scene had me rolling of laughter and ten seconds later boom, he is murdering someone..
Overall a great effort and very good story but short runtime.. Id like to see more of it..
