Stagefright: Aquarius

Michelle Soavi's Stagefright is one beautiful film. The colors and camera work are amazing and Simon Boswell's score is outstandingly beautiful. The characters are great and the whole concept is done well and is different. The killer is awesome too the owl head mask is creepy as hell. Awesome effects in this one. Highly recommended!!!

I really Enjoyed Stage Fright , this film has one of the most memorable killers in film. I highly recommend this film to any lover of Horror movies.You will not be disappointed.

Awesome movie came in great shape

The movie: Colorful slasher pic seemed a bit better back in 1987 but it's still entertaining for fans of the genre. The set-up is simple but effective--a company of actors rehearsing a macabre musical get locked inside the theater with an escaped maniac, a former actor himself so he knows his way around a theater and has a definite sense for the dramatic.Stagefright is surprisingly stylish when you consider that it was written and produced by Italian schlock-meister Joe D'Amato, but first-time director Michele Soavi had worked as an assistant under Dario Argento and was clearly trying for an Argento style film rather than a cheap-looking, shot quickly type of film associated with his writer/producer. Stagefright is clearly the work of someone who composed his shots very carefully and it's enjoyable to watch even when the script is less than inspired. One example? The killer offs someone with a giant drill which he them leaves behind. So why don't the characters use that giant drill to drill out the lock on the front door and escape from the theater? Only because it would have been a very short film if they had.None of the characters in the movie does anything smart or puts up much of a fight so Stagefright is never really very suspenseful until there is only one actress left alive, but at that point the movie improves dramatically. Stagefright's standout sequence features the actress trying to retrieve the theater's front door key which is in plain sight of the killer without him noticing. The last twenty minutes or so of Stagefright are tense and thrilling, except for the final scene which is completely ridiculous, even for a mindless slasher film.The disc: There are two English language soundtracks but no Italian one--this seemed annoying but I hadn't seen the movie in at least 10 years--it looks like most of the actors spoke English anyway. The transfer looked very nice but I've never seen a Blue Underground disc that didn't look excellent. The extras are interviews with actors, the special effects man and the guy who did the soundtrack. They are informative and amusing if you are a fan of Italian films and want to hear stories about Joe D'Amato, Michelle Soavi (and his days as a failing actor) and about the Italian exploitation industry which was still thriving when Stagefright was made.I would say that the Stagefright Blu-ray is a must-own for fans of Italian horror by Dario Argento and Michele Soavi and and Lucio Fulci and the like. Fans of slasher movies in general should also seriously consider purchasing.

Super good Slasher! Excellent filming and music. Fantastic cast too!

One of my all time favorite horrors. Didn't find out about it until 3yrs ago, watched it and loved it. They don't make horror movies like this anymore

Stagefright was a worthy addition to my slasher collection, great picture

It was good

Wonderful movie, great customer service

As a big fan of Italian horror films this sound like a good film, but its quite slow and takes a while for the plot to develop, its a good story about a serial killer dressed as an owl which looks really creepy but on the whole its quite a slow film, which only really gets going in the last half hour,

pour les fans inconditionnels de slasher culte des années 80histoire qui au premier abord semble identique aux films du genre mais avec quelques détours scénaristiques qui lui donne une fraicheur et un coté à part.Coté technique: formidablela remasterisation DTS-HD 5.1 est formidable et l'image une merveille pour un film de cette époqueL'éditeur americain BLUE UNDERGROUND sait prendre soin de ses titres et des consommateurs, avec des sous titres francais à chaque fois, ces suffisament rare pour le signaler.VOSTFR DTS-HD 5.1, multizone et superbe menu animé... comble du luxe: une interview de l'un des acteurs en francais de 12min environ très sympathique.Merci BLUE UNDERGROUND

Really Happy with my order. A extremely well filmed slasher/giallo. Great specials feature !

A stylish, early giallo inspired slasher, sure to satisfy.
