Stage Fright 1987 ★★★½
What struck me on this rewatch?
As much as it is classified as a giallo, this movie does tread its fair share of slasher territory. Even if just for the lack of mystery surrounding the killer. It's clear fairly early on who it is.
Nonetheless it's a pretty entertaning Italian slasher. Michael Soavi delivers a solid plot with a good flow of action and some pretty good kills. Not to mention a nice looking killer with the owl mask, a good mask and some good tense moments like the one with the key.
The characters are written well enough to keep you invested, the acting is okay and the dubbing is not that bad either. The movie does not overstay its welcome and the ending is well delivered and executed.
Nice little addition to your slasher collection.
