StageFright, presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio with a 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode, delivers impressive picture clarity and color stability despite minor grain issues and average shadow delineation. The transfer boasts well-defined details and an organic appearance that surpasses expectations for its nearly 30-year-old low-budget origins.

Audio: 76

StageFright's Blu-ray audio features English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 and 5.1 tracks. The 2.0 track delivers lush, clean music balanced with stable and sharp dialog, while the 5.1 mix enhances some effects but remains front-heavy with minor surround bleeds. Both tracks offer strong dynamics and superb clarity.

Extra: 61

The Blu-ray extras for 'StageFright' offer a comprehensive collection of interviews delving into Michele Soavi's early career, the unique lighting and special effects, contributions from cast and crew, and the creation of its iconic soundtrack, all presented in impressive high-definition quality.

Movie: 66

Michele Soavi's directorial debut, 'StageFright', showcases his mastery in creating atmospheric tension through unique lighting and innovative camerawork. While the narrative adheres to familiar slasher tropes, the film revitalizes the genre with a mix of gory hilarity, suspense, and a standout soundtrack by Simon Boswell.
