It's hard to see where the characters go wrong in the film Stage Fright. Was it making a modern dance adaptation of I Spit on Your Grave? Was it seeking medical attention for a sore ankle instead of just keeping off it for a while? Was it seeking that medical attention at Italy's version of Arkham Asylum? Was it having an inexplicable owl mask? Was it all the barrels of burning trash in a building with only two exits, both of which lock from the outside? It's impossible to say. What we can say is that what comes out is possibly the most brilliant parody of Italian horror ever. Or just a big pile of whackadoo nonsense that rules. So snuggle up with your pet lion-fish, tie yourself to the bed with your best torn sheets, and enjoy the best argument for defunding the Italian police ever filmed, Stage Fright.
