It’s half "Friday the 13th," half "Phantom of the Paradise," and just cheesy enough to work. Read full review

It’s inspired enough to draw attention to ways that it doesn’t realize its potential. Read full review

The songs are fine; the slaughter is sub-standard. Read full review

Like a bad '80s flick, Stage Fright, could have been so much fun. Read full review

Most frustratingly, the film rarely manages to meld its two parent genres at all, with musical-theater pastiche dominating the early going, and straight slasher pastiche taking over around the halfway point, and rarely the twain do meet. Read full review

As horror musicals go, Stage Fright is never more than an out-of-town tryout. Read full review

None of it works, really, as either musical satire or genre Chex mix. Read full review

Its biggest problems are that at times it feels very goofy, and at others it takes itself too seriously and the mix doesn't come out smoothly for the same reason.

It's a mashup that doesn't land any of its punches, and the predictability weakens the rest of the effort and that's why the film falls apart so easily.… Expand

This was on Netflix, so I gave it a shot. It bored the hell out of me. The movie had a couple of bloody parts, but, for a slasher movie, not nearly enough of them. The twist was predictable, and the last twenty minutes were completely incomprehensible. Not recommended.
