A LOT of the italian films coming out in that era (as the industry was in decline) were shot with home video very much in mind. Later Soavi films like the church and the sect were made widescreen as they had official Dario Argento production. Stagefright was relatively low budget in comparison (as it was his debut as director)
Again i do believe a lot of these video titles would benefit from the option of choosing either full or widescreen so noone is left dissapointed. I sort of hope Tenny's Night of the demon get the option as well but I doubt it.

This remains the best release of the film to date. But weirdly Anchor bay/Blue undergrounds remains one of the worst releases. Even the vipco release of stagefright is preferable. I do know however that BU got some static from fans over the DVD so its likely they may decide to offer the option of either widescreen and fullscreen. Then everyone's happy!
