Ep772: Accademia Giallo: STAGE FRIGHT (1987)
All the world is a stage, but not everyone makes it to the curtain call!
This month, "Accademia Giallo" takes over the drama club for a review of Michele Soavi's Stage Fright! The 1987 thriller centers on a group of stage actors who lock themselves in the theater for a musical rehearsal, unaware that an escaped psychopath has sneaked in with them!
Ian, AC, and Blake tackle two big questions in this episode: Is Stage Fright truly a giallo film, or just an Italian slasher? And why isn't it more widely discussed as the genre gem that it is?
"Accademia Giallo" is Kicking the Seat's monthly deep dive into Italian Horror's "giallo" sub-genre. Join us LIVE in the chat for laughs, lessons, and lots of bad accents!
