"MASK" AT 30! - 1985 DRAMA ABOUT ROCKY DENNIS STILL HOLDS IT'S CHARM - THE HORROR!!

Sam Elliot at his Sam Elliot best.
Another $1 thrift store find, dig it. Been a long while since
I last saw this one it's held up nicely and is just an 
amazing film where every component fell perfectly
in place. As you may know, this ain't no editorial
type blog so I cut right to the chase - using my 
Palm Springs Rating System happily give
Mask the highest rating - Five Palm Trees

When we see him for the first time, it's a glimpse through his bedroom window, half-reflected in a mirror. A second later, we see him more clearly, this teenage boy with the strange face. We are shocked for a second, until he starts to talk, and then, without effort, we accept him as a normal kid who has had an abnormal thing happen to him.
