owen G @metalkillerismyfav Apr 15 i... im going to spread the word.... See more Exami P @RT84248600 08/19/2025 A beautiful slasher film. Original. Fun. Excellent cinematography. Exceptional music and a great on-screen killer. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets; it truly is a forgotten gem. Beautiful in every way. See more Mery H @RT73496100 08/30/2024 Stage fright 2024 is a “original” idea with a scream style and a very cold humor stage fright is a great option like the original from 1987 See more steve d @RT35616104 12/11/2022 Good ideas with just terrible execution. See more 05/15/2022 The killer could have been developed more, but the mise en scène and cinematography were good for a slasher film. See more 01/10/2021 This is a completely shameful horror remake.
