Movie No. 33 (2014): STAGE FRIGHT

Stage Fright (2014)
Director: Jerome Sable
Cast: Allie MacDonald, Douglas Smith, Minnie Driver, Meat Loaf, Brandon Uranowitz

This is the story of the former Broadway diva's daughter, now a teenager working in the kitchen of an elite performing arts camp, who wishes to change her destiny by following the footsteps of her mother. She sneaks in to audition for a part and gets a major part. This is when, one by one, some people involved in the production gets killed by a mysterious serial killer; this reminds her of her own mother's death during the debut of her mother's musical in Broadway.

This is horror/musical. Yes, there are musical numbers which are odd for a horror-themed or serial-killer-type movie. But, it's not  totally ridiculously bad either. Despite some jolly musical numbers, the movie can maintain suspense required of a horror film. This will definitely not land in anyone's list of greatest or memorable films of all time, or even for a particular year, but, in my opinion, it's entertaining. 

Rating: 3.0/4.0

Date seen: April 7, 2014
