Stage Fright (I) (2014)
2/10
Nope. Just Nope.

Bought this a while back on DVD but never got around to watching till just now.

The film follows a group of upcoming Theatre Musical Stars at a Camp Site Holiday Park who are taking part in a Broadway Musical for Judges to watch & potentially make them big & famous. But a killer is on the loose to make sure the show never sees the light of day as one by one, the cast members get killed off.

I found the film to be pretty dumb, I didn't expect it to be a musical which I then rolled my eyes at as soon as the cast members started to sing, however I did find the song for the opening of the Camp Site amusing! The deaths while gory, were somewhat dumb & campy themselves. Reminiscent to Friday 13th, Hellraiser & Halloween, this film does make some good references.

The story-line was thin & the villain was boring. Both lacked impact to say the least. The twist at the end wasn't all that great in either. The musical side of the film just didn't help & took away from the seriousness as with the campiness of the film itself. The eye candy from the actresses was great especially the lead & her rival.

Overall, not a great film at all. If you like campy horrors that are dumb, this'll be for you. However, if you want a serious horror with a good story-line, high body counts & serious gore, you'll be disappointed with this one for sure.

2/10.
