Leslie's Papa Makes Some Truth

.

Just a couple of weeks ago we had a wee bit of news regarding a sequel to 2006's wonderful meta-horror flick Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon - namely that everybody behind that film is keen to get a sequel going (actually some kind of prequel, apparently) and there's a Facebook page up and running devoted to the cause. The page has actually been pretty active, I see updates coming from it all the time, so fingers crossed!

But this doesn't really have to do with Leslie - rather it has to do with Leslie's director, Scott Glosserman. He's only had one film come out since Leslie, and that was a non-horror documentary about Wikipedia called Truth in Numbers, but that changes tomorrow night apparently, when an original horror film by him airs on MTV! Via TFC:

"MTV treats viewers to extreme suspense in its upcoming original TV movie "The Truth Below," premiering Thursday, June 16th at 10pm ET/PT.

In "The Truth Below," a Spring Break snowboarding vacation becomes a terrifying journey for college friends. Their road trip home from the mountain soon turns deadly when a freak accident forces them off the road and buries their car under an avalanche. Trapped with no choice but to wait for rescue and face an unknown fate, the group plays a game in which they reveal secrets they would never otherwise share. They soon discover they not only have to survive the accident, but also each other. The moments dwindle and they are forced to ask themselves "how well do you really know your friends" as their game builds to a shocking conclusion."

Anything airing on MTV these days instantly makes me skeptical (yes, I'm old) but Glosserman's talents go a good distance at combating that. Plus the last original horror movie of MTV's that I saw contained a scene where a girl on roller-skates got beheaded and then her headless body rolled into a giant cake made out of sushi, so we're all good. Here's the trailer:
