Title: Nightmare in the Theatre...
Review: Stagefright is simply put a fun, scary movie to behold! Although there is quite a bit of gore which is not really my style so you may want to close your eyes in parts if that turns you off. But what could be a better premise in a horror film than a group of actors being locked in a dreary theatre for the night with a psychotic killer stalking them at every turn dressed in an owl suit. And then the lone, final girl must try and defeat the villain before she becomes his last victim. All the elements of the post-slasher era are here as this was made in 1987. You have the infamous thunderstorm, people making bad decisions, a variety of interesting deaths and even a black cat crossing someone's path. Still, this is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy these films. This was originally released on DVD by Anchor Bay and now is being distributed by Blue Underground. I wish one of these companies would release the 1980 horror gem Curtains next (although released in 1983).
