1961, Canada, 83 min
Directed by Julian Roffman
The first feature-length Canadian horror movie and the first feature-length 3D film made in Canada, Julian Roffman’s 1961 cult classic has now been digitally restored in 2K anaglyph 3D by TIFF and the 3-D Film Archive. A psychiatrist comes into possession of an ancient tribal mask that, when worn, assails him with nightmarish visions of monsters, occultists, and ritual torture. Believing that he has discovered a portal to the deepest recesses of his mind, he continues to explore this terrifying new psychic world — even at the risk of his sanity. “Put the mask on now!” implores the announcer and we must obey.
