2014 · Movie · R · your starting pointIf you're after Stage Fright's blend of theatrical claustrophobia and slasher mechanics, you'll likely find similar ground in Playhouse or Theatre Of Terror, which trap isolated performers in confined spaces where the setting itself becomes weaponized dread—though they're probably more straightforward horror than Stage Fright's willingness to let dark comedy breathe. Cut! might also scratch that itch if you're drawn specifically to how creative ambition curdling into real violence, since it shares that collision between production chaos and escalating body count, just swapping a theater for a film set.
