The Devil's Mask

The Devil's Mask tries very hard to be an entertaining suspense thriller, and in some scenes it accomplishes its task. However, when a decent plot becomes too convoluted and unlikely, it defeats the whole purpose of sustaining suspense and believability. Too many subplots spoil the broth. The tale of a shrunken head found in a plane crash is pretty bizarre in itself, but adding several subplots to the event causes it to lose steam. The actors and director do their best, but a weak script is something that few actors or directors were ever able to overcome. This is one of the weaker entries of the "I Love a Mystery" series. Skip this one and watch a few of the others.
