STAGE FRIGHT
Synopsis: Starry-eyed teenager Camilla Swanson wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a Broadway diva, but she’s stuck working in the kitchen of a snobby performing arts camp. Determined to change her destiny, she sneaks in to audition for the summer showcase and lands a lead role in the play, but just as rehearsals begin, blood starts to spill, and Camilla soon finds herself terrified by the horror of musical theatre.
The Good:
Stage Fright gets points for originality…setting a slasher movie at a musical theater camp is a new one to add to the genre. And making it into a full scale musical horror movie was not something you see every day either. And the musical part really needs to be stressed...a lot of things I have seen written about Stage Fright has mentioned it was a mash-up of Glee and Scream which is just not true at all. This is a "musical-musical" where people break out into song at a moments notice and sing their inner thoughts and whatnot. A more fitting description would be “Phantom of The Opera meets Sleepaway Camp” if I was going to make a mash-up comparison.
And I absolutely loved that the killer in this movie sang all of his songs like a demented Brian Johnson from AC/DC.
The Bad:
For a slasher movie their was an alarming lack of slashing for my taste. This movie really needed to up the body count and play around more with some of the tropes of the slasher genre than it did.
The Ugly:
For a musical these songs were dreadful. There were no songs that are likely to get stuck in your head because the music is so forgettable and after awhile you just want everyone to shut up and get busy with the murdering.
Final Verdict: An ambitious stab at adding something new to the slasher horror genre but nothing really works as well as everyone involved clearly wanted it to. Stage Fright is not nearly bloody enough for a slasher movie and features middling songs not memorable enough for it to be considered a good musical so it ended up leaving this fan of both genres disappointed.
Stage Fright gets 2 Mr. Simms:
Whoever wrote this is terrible. There was enough slashing for this movie; body count was at least 6-8 people. Dudes are so picky because there’s “not enough.”
And the musical acts aren’t meant to be remembered. This isn’t Sound of Music.

And if you make a musical you should make snappy music to put into it. Otherwise the movie needed to just be a straight slasher flick.

The musical was just a backdrop for a horror movie. Just because your picky doesn’t mean a movie must be this or that. It was a creative effort that came out well.

Watching this one called Color Out of Space.
An amazing movie.
Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf
Have not seen this movie in years.
Does anyone have any slasher suggestions? Other wise next week will be Freddy vs Candyman.

Breh... holy shyt
This looks interesting
I can see this movie is going to be just like MA for me where I'm rooting for Loretta Devine to fukk up Ghost and his whole family through the entire flick.
