Stagefright (1987) is a crazy film about a psychotic running amok inside a dance hall/theater. Michael Soavi takes a turn in directing a giallo style thriller. Unlike his teacher (Dario Argento) this film in really gruesome in some parts. Bloody, creepy and very edgy in some scenes. I highly recommend this picture. I was surprised by the sheer graphic nature of some of the set pieces. Unlike most films of this ilk, a couple of nice set pieces does make a movie. The student has definetly learned a lot from the teacher. Stagefright has some nice photography and very good directing from a first time film-maker.
Highly recommended.
