StageFright
Directed by Michele Soavi
A serial killer stalks the cast of a play based on his gruesome murders in this stylish and scary Italian slasher. When an injury brings a cast member to a doctor at a nearby mental hospital, an evil patient hitches a ride back to the theater in her trunk. Before long, the cast find themselves locked in the theater, where the killer—wearing an eerie owl mask—begins staging their horrific death scenes, one by one. After assisting Dario Argento for most of the 1980s, director Michele Soavi (THE CHURCH) broke out on his own with this chilling feature debut.

The ending does a lot to redeem it. Actually a great opening scene, too. Pretty forgettable throughout the middle, though.
A Cheesy Horror flick , to watch when your tired .
Great Slasher!
Such a silly movie. I wouldn’t call it essential by any means but it is entertaining enough. I wish there were better kills and a bit more gore. However, there is some lingering tension that adds to the absurdity of the plot.
Cool movie that gets pretty wild, with a Halloween-costume-worthy villain. fwiw my wife walked in for about 10 minutes, said "you watch weird movies", and left.
