Last month, it had been announced that Magnet Releasing acquired Stage Fright ahead of its world premiere at SXSW. Directed by Jerome Sable, the horror musical takes place at a musical theater camp that is “terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater.” Here's a look at the red band trailer and new poster:

“Starry-eyed teenager Camilla Swanson wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a Broadway diva, but she’s stuck working in the kitchen of a snobby performing arts camp. Determined to change her destiny, she sneaks in to audition for the summer showcase and lands a lead role in the play, but just as rehearsals begin, blood starts to spill, and Camilla soon finds herself terrified by the horror of musical theatre.”

Stage Fright stars Allie MacDonald, Douglas Smith, Brandon Uranowitz, Kent Nolan, Melanie Leishman, Minnie Driver, and Meat Loaf. If you're headed to SXSW, you can catch the movie early at one of the following screenings:

  • Monday, March 10th at 11:45PM at Alamo Ritz 1
  • Tuesday, March 11th at 7:00PM at SXSatellite: Marchesa
  • Wednesday, March 12th at 11:15AM at Alamo Ritz 2

Magnet Releasing will release Stage Fright to on-demand services on April 3rd  and in theaters May 9th.
