Michele Soavi’s StageFright gets a Blu-ray release this September

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

STAGEFRIGHT, the classic 1987 slasher from director Michele Soavi is making its way to DVD and Blu-ray from Blue Underground on September 23, 2014. And we not only have a look at the cover art, but we’ve got all the special features as well. Dig on those below!

STAGEFRIGHT was the directorial debut from Soavi who, at the time, was looked at as Dario Argento’s protégé, and he certainly came out swinging with this one. STAGEFRIGHT is also known as AQUARIUS, DELERIA, and BLOODY BIRD (my personal favorite), and the new Blu-ray transfer comes in its original uncut and uncensored negative and comes loaded with plenty of cool special features.

While a group of young actors rehearse a new musical about a mass murderer, a notorious psychopath escapes from a nearby insane asylum. But when the show’s director locks his cast in the theater overnight, the madman is accidentally locked inside as well. Now a killer with acting in his blood has gone berserk for the blood of actors (including several scenes that Euro-horror fans worldwide consider to be the most violent of the decade), and the stage is set for one unforgettable evening of shock, suspense, and unstoppable carnage.

• Theatre of Delirium – Interview with Director Michele Soavi
