***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I have the VidAmerica label with the title STAGE FRIGHT. A girl witnesses one of her parents having an affair and inadvertantly causes their death during a car accident. Later, she tries out for a play and all the actors start dying. Is she doing it? The identity of the killer is pretty obvious and there is no point in classifying this film as a mystery. There are too many hints as to who the killer is.
*SPOILERS*
The killer hates sex, and during two different sex scenes, murders both people, showing the most anger towards the female as one gets it with a dirty wine bottle and the other gets it with a knife on the streets of Sydney while being totally naked. We know it's Helen doing it because every time someone gets killed (especially, the woman) she has flashbacks towards the affair she saw her mother having. So, with every person she kills, she's really killing her mother all over again (sort of like a SWEET SIXTEEN type premise).
With that said, STAGE FRIGHT isn't a bad film. It has all the typical horror film aspects that hardcore fans enjoy, including, but not limited to gratuitous sex and nudity, some of the nastiest deaths you will ever see using the nastiest weapons (for example, the killer uses whatever they can find, like germ-infested plastic bags that you can only imagine where they've been and broken bottles that have street waste, etc. on them). ***out of****Americans don't come to expect much from foreign horror, but STAGE FRIGHT delivers the goods in explicit fashion that only those with strong stomachs could take.
