Stage Fright (I) (2014)
2/10
What the heck was this?

Warning: Spoilers
Imagine if you took Disney's High School Musical series, threw in some stoned-looking teenagers, gay bashing comments, cursing and bad singing, along with a cliché story about an unoriginal slasher movie killer. Well, if that's your thing, then here you go! The acting was terrible, especially from the girl (main protagonist). She is a ditz, a bimbo and she dresses like a twelve-year-old, not to mention she looks like she's on something. For some unknown reason the singer Meat Loaf was in the cast, no idea why he's there. Perhaps the script writers were very drunk, or had gotten into the Windex in the custodian's closet of the film studio, I don't know. I think it's supposed to be a black comedy movie but I just didn't find the humor in it.

The singing (yes it's a slasher musical), was weird and awful. Take several cats and chuck them in a dishwasher and you'll get a similar melody. The plot is weird and the movie seems aimed at kids ages 12 to 18 rather than the usual 18+ audiences of horror. Every character was shallow, there's even a girl who offers sex to a nerdy guy so he'll rig the voting for the lead actress in the theater camp's play.

All in all this was pretty bad, no nicer way of putting it. I don't even want to know what the producers were thinking coming up with something like this.
