Rating: 2.5/4 -- The 3D bits - which viewers see through a "Magic Mystic Mask" after commands to "Put the mask on now!" - are actually surprisingly freaky and effective, even now, and they fit right in with the current yen for practical effects over CGI ones. Full Review

The 3D sequences are nothing short of astonishing. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- The Mask was low-budget in 1961, and that its kitschy appeal will be limited to genre fetishists and popcorn-chomping ironists in 2015. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

After the shocking death of a disturbed patient, psychiatrist Dr. Allan Barnes (Paul Stevens) comes into possession of the ancient tribal mask that supposedly drove the young man to his doom. When Barnes puts on the mask, he is assailed with nightmarish visions of monsters, occultists, and ritual torture. Believing that the mask has opened a portal to the deepest recesses of his mind, the doctor continues to explore this terrifying new psychic world even as the mask reveals a latent violence in Barnes' nature that threatens those closest to him.

Shot in Toronto on a shoestring budget, The Mask (retitled Eyes of Hell for its American release) claims the distinction of being the first feature-length Canadian horror movie. Director Julian Roffman turns the act of wearing the 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. 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.

Special Features: 3-D sequences in anaglyph format, Custom anaglyph 3-D glasses, replicating the cardboard masks of the original theatrical release, Newly restored Electro-Magic Sound (optional 5.1 Surround during 3-D sequences), Original theatrical trailer
