Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Chris Stump I watched this expecting it to be a regular old horror movie.Holy cow was I wrong.I'm not going to spoil any of the actual plot, but the blend of slasher-style horror, black comedy and Broadway musical really works. Once the first song got underway I was, to be honest, somewhat suspicious. I'm glad I didn't just give up on it, though. This was a real treat.Although there is a fair bit of graphic violence (it is a slasher film, after all) there is still an inherent amount of a comedic element even in the murder scenes. The way that they interweave what would, under normal circumstances, be a reasonably good slasher flick with a musical is what really makes this movie stand out and be unique.While there are certainly better ways to spend 90 minutes, there are certainly also worse ways too. Dive in with a willing suspension of disbelief and enjoy it.

fernie121793 I actually love this movie ! It's silly, funny and bloody. This movie is just a good old campy horror flick it reminded me of Sleepaway Camp minus that weird ending plus a musical. The musical numbers were funny. Hopefully this movie will inspire other horror musical movies in the future. Stage Fright is in the vein of "Dont Go In the Woods" and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" but this movie stands on its own. Allie plays Camilla a girl who lost her mother a famous Broadway actress, played by Minnie Driver, and longs to be just like her by wanting to take the lead in The Haunting of The Opera but she deals with a sleazy director of the show who wants her naked, Her brother who wants to leave for good, a boy who really likes her that borders on obsession, a mean girl who is hungry and thirsty for the lead role and the producer Rodger, played by Meat Loaf, who is on the edge of losing his camp due to financial problems is still convinced that the show will draw a big time Broadway agent to have him gain some personal interests that will satisfy him. The movie ends in a typical standard horror scare but this movie is worth watching again and again.

gavin6942 A snobby musical theater camp is terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater.The film has plenty of nice references early on to "Phantom of the Opera" and "Fantomas", with the "Phantom" theme throughout. Some have said the film draws from Argento's "Opera", but that is not necessarily the case. Beyond the generally theme (which is "Phantom"), there was very little "Opera".The supporting cast is solid, with the amazing Meat Loaf and even a brief but powerful performance from Minnie Driver. Allie MacDonald as the lead is amazing, and do not be surprised if she gets big really fast after this.The film widely received negative reviews, and the reasons are clear. The blend of humor, music and horror is not always flawless, and some of the songs are definitely better than others. Some probably enjoyed the heavy metal parts and disliked the rest (or vice versa). This is not on the same level as "Repo: The Genetic Opera", for example.

arfdawg-1 A snobby musical theater camp is terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater.Oh boy. The serial slasher as a plot is over!This is billed as a horror musical!I think it's more of a ridiculous bizarre comedy.Minnie Driver, who has lines in her face now, is still hot and definitely doable.Oh and Meatloaf who is now larger than Orson Welles is in it.It's a bit like a reverse twist on the Phantom of the Opera. One guy loved music...this one hates it.Did I say that Minnie Driver has a great body?The movie is a complete waste of time.Except for Minnie Driver.Who has a great body.Most of the time she's on the screen.Minnie and her body gets a 9.The movie gets a 2. There's a reason the flick made less than 9,000 at the BO
