This week on the podcast, Michele Soavi’s Stage Fright AKA Deleria.
This is an 80s Italian horror that’s based around a theatrical production all about, you guessed it, a murderer on the loose. Does art imitate life? Is the Pope Catholic?
This is a super fun flick from a protégé of Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, who is of course, the masked quasi star of the excellent Demons.
Genre fans will also get a kick out of Italian gore whipping boy, Giovanni Lombardo Radice as one of the dancers.
Break a leg, and join us for a quick chat about Stage Fright!
We turn our eyes to Sweden on the podcast, and check in on the spirited and gory horror-comedy, The Conference.
More accurately a corporate retreat, the folks behind a contentious shopping mall development head out to some rustic cabins to brainstorm and team-build and all that fun stuff.
They do some zip lining, eat and drink, question a few barriers/headwinds the real estate development project could face, and generally have a swell time at first.
That is, until, something incriminating is found on a laptop.
Meanwhile, there is a killer on the loose. And he’s masked, of course.
The Conference has a lot of neat backstory, and some terrific kills. It’s marred by slickness, but is overall a pretty compelling effort.
