After impressing with his short film The Legend of Beaver Dam, which won a Fantastic Fest award in 2010 for Best Horror Short, Jerome Sable makes his feature debut with the slasher musical Stage Fright, set to make its world premiere next week at the South by Southwest Film Festival.
Starring Minnie Driver and Meatloaf, the film centers on starry-eyed teenager Camilla Swanson, who desperately wants to become a Broadway superstar, just like her deceased mother. After landing a role in a play, Swanson comes face-to-face with the dark side of musical theatre, when a masked maniac targets her and her fellow cast members.
Stage Fright gets a VOD release on April 3rd, courtesy of Magnet Releasing, followed by a limited theatrical rollout on May 9th. While we wait, check out the gory new Red Band trailer, exclusively posted over on Yahoo! Movies, which accompanies the slick new piece of retro-style poster art seen above, spotted on Ain't It Cool News!
