Now available from Arrow Video is a new 4K remastered UHD and Blu-ray of the Jim Carrey classic comedy The Mask.
Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey), a mild-mannered bank clerk in Edge City, can’t bring himself to approach Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz), a stunning nightclub singer who’s captured his heart. Everything changes when Stanley discovers an ancient mask with supernatural abilities, unleashing a bold, unstoppable and uncontrollable version of himself.
Made the same year as his breakthrough hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,The Mask sees Jim Carrey in full-on mode, with crazy, manic comedy and a fun and engaging story.
