Theatre of Delirium.

Directed by Michele Soavi

A slasher horror film that weaponizes theatrical artifice, trapping young performers in a nightmare where rehearsing a murderer's story becomes indistinguishable from living it.

While a group of young actors rehearse a new musical about a mass murderer, a notorious psychopath escapes from a nearby insane asylum.
