StageFright

After escaping from a psychiatric hospital, a mass murderer follows a struggling actress back to her rehearsal. With an opening only days away, the director of the production coerces some of the cast and crew into working overtime. To keep his actors from leaving, he locks the theatre and has an underling hide the key, unknowingly locking the killer inside as well. Donning the costume of the Night Owl, the maniac silently stalks the trapped troupe. StageFright is a fairly by-the-numbers slasher. It's a little late to the game, but it's well made and surprisingly gory at times. The killer's costume is decent, despite being borderline ridiculous. It's an entertaining enough movie, but it's not exactly re-inventing the wheel.
