Stage Fright


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Andrew, Kate, Jordan, Tyler

Combining horror films ad musicals is something I've wanted to do for a long time. A very tricky thing to pull off though. And for the whole first of this I though they'd pulled it off. A mix of Fame and Friday the 13th and just as fun as that sounds. I really love the set up. And the introduction to camp song was delightful. 

Meatloaf!

But as things proceeded the story started to lose momentum. The revelations of the plot couldn't sustain the pace or fun of the first half. But I do like the use of operatic death metal. 

It's certainly a valiant effort from first time feature directors though.
