Blu Review – Stage Fright

StageFright1987-Blu-ray

When I start reviewing films several years back I wanted to watch and review films I had never seen before.  This turned into something I never expected it to and I love every minute of it.  I had no idea how complex the reviewing world was and how reviewers had the chance to review releases, as well as, the films themselves.  Sometime ago I caught wind that Blue Underground was releasing the slasher flick Stage Fright on blu.  I had never seen the film before but my love for slashers lead me to requesting a copy of the film for review and they were kind enough to send me one.

Just like all of my blu reviews, this review will focus on the release instead of the film.  I look at the film’s artwork, film quality/transfer, and special features.

The artwork for this is the original poster.  Now, this is a mixed bag for me.  I love when a film is released and they use the original artwork but the original artwork for Stage Fright kinda sucks ass.  This would be one of the few cases where I would have one of these modern horror artists to draw something up a little better.

The film transfer and quality for this release is great and something we at Horror Society has come to expect from the fine folks over at BU. A lot of hard work and time went into this release and it shows on every level and stands out in every scene.

Finally, the film is overflowing with special features.  In this great release you get interview with director Michele Soavi, star David Brandon, Giovanni Lambardo Radice, Pietro Tenoglio, and Simon Boswell.  We also get theatrical trailer, poster, and still gallery.  Collectors and fans alike will find something worthwhile in this release.

Overall, this Stage Fright release is a must have for any fans of Italian horror and slasher flicks.  It looks great and has a lot of great special features.

Artwork – 2.5/5
Film Quality – 4.5/5
Special Features – 4/5
