Entertainment Weekly
It’s half "Friday the 13th," half "Phantom of the Paradise," and just cheesy enough to work. - 50
The Dissolve
The songs are fine; the slaughter is sub-standard. - 50
New York Post
Stage Fright starts out as a funny musical mashup — “Glee” meets“Friday the 13th” — but winds up indulging slasher-flick clichés instead of spoofing them. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Despite Meat Loaf’s hammily entertaining turn as the desperate owner of a musical theater summer camp, the film fails to live up to its obvious inspirations. - 50
The A.V. Club
Stage Fright has a weakness for predictability; it practically revels in it. - 50
The New York Times
It’s inspired enough to draw attention to ways that it doesn’t realize its potential. - 38
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
As horror musicals go, Stage Fright is never more than an out-of-town tryout. - 37
Washington Post
Whether it’s being sexy, jokey or homicidal, Stage Fright doesn’t deliver the goods with sufficient spirit. It lacks the sparkle to be a truly killer show.
