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.

This is really well shot and the camera work creates all the tension and suspense. The idea for the movie is good but I do think the way the serial killer is introduced is very sloppy. ITs fun to watch and I'd definitely recommend it.
Superior, arty 80s slasher. Good characters, writing and actors with a creepy killer and solid kills. Gritty but directed with flair.
Good fun. Worth a watch.
The ‘intellectual musical’ that opens the film is bananas. Five skulls strictly for that..
Perfect 80s italian slasher, a real masterpiece!
