Stagefright - solid Soavi slasher. There's shades of Argento in this which makes sense and some great and grisly kills. |
Weirdly enough, I too have just finished STAGEFRIGHT. It's one of those movies I quite like to revisit, because for some reason I notice new aspects of it each time. I like how the theatrical setting lends a slight surrealistic artifice on some levels, and there are lots of elements which seem excessive or baroque, like the big owl head mask. For me, it's up there with 'Dellamorte...' - wish he'd carried on making movies after that one.
