| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Stage Fright (1987) |
|---|
STAGE FRIGHT is the first movie directed by italian director Michele Soavi.
Eight actors and their director are locked in a theater during a stormy night, with a psycho-killer wearing a howl mask. Little by little, the cast diminishes as the madman finds new ways to kill.
A psycho-thriller that will stay in the annals.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
