“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Death Mask (1998)
James Best, best known for his role in the TV show "Dukes of Hazzard." stars as a facially scarred circus worker who carves masks. Everyone puts him down except Linnea Quigley. He sees a swamp witch who curses him with making a mask that causes everyone who sees it to commit suicide and he can't take it off. The expected mayhem ensues. Directed by the same guy who did Jack-O, this tries to be a serious horror film, but has some serious flaws, both technical - an empty ride has people screaming on it - and budgetary - everyone talks about how beautiful the mask is, when you could make a better one yourself. It's interesting despite itself, not good, but watchable.
