StageFright Ratings & Reviews
eif999
July 9, 2025
Could not get into it. The first 5 minutes are so good the rest could not top it tbh. This is my second theater slasher film this month after The Flesh and Blood Show. So maybe I just was sick of the whole broke actresses doing anything for a part. I'm not sure if an owl would dance like that?
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
Grand Guignol spectacle...filtered through the kind of '80s excess as could only be imagined by a disciple of Dario Argento.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
A remarkable directorial debut for Soavi, who displays a keen visual eye amidst all the slashing.
Horror Queers Podcast
Joe Lipsett
Michele Soavi's feature debut is a solid slasher and an iconic villain costume. While the Final Girl is unfortunately a bit bland, the kills, the direction and the subtle interrogation of class help Stagefright stand apart from its late 80s contemporaries
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Indeed, the propensity to overact at any given moment is one of the reasons it's so much fun.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
At times, Stagefright transcends both its low-budget economics and its well-worn genre requirements and achieves something sublime that can only be described as "Hitchcockian."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The kind of ridiculously self-assured debut that declares its maker to be some kind of savant or prodigy.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Stagefright proceeds as a rather earthbound taster of winky genre self-reflexivity.
