Leofwine_draca Now, I know low budget zombie films are ten a penny these days; they're the bane of the B-movie genre, a sub-genre which keeps on coming and turning out one piece of trash after another. However, I'm pleased to report that DANCE OF THE DEAD, despite the off-putting title, is actually a gem of a B-movie, and that rarity too: a comedy that's funny.One thing that DANCE OF THE DEAD is, is unoriginal. The general thrust of the plot borrows heavily from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, while a zombie-fighting gravedigger has been borrowed from DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE. There are various nods to other movies along the way too. Nevertheless, the film works, thanks to a witty script and some engaging characters like the redneck thug who becomes a hero.For a low budget production the splattery gore effects are surprisingly decent, and there are some fun goofy moments like when a guy plays baseball with a zombie head. The scriptwriter can't resist including some more original spins on the mythos either, like having the zombies become hypnotised by music or the cool scene where they come shooting out of their graves. The acting works for the genre and many of the one-liners are funny, particularly from the gun-toting P.E. teacher. I liked DANCE OF THE DEAD a lot.

Scott LeBrun It's time for the Senior Prom at Cosa High School, but unexpected guests are about to crash the party: the living dead kind, that is. As fate would have it, the only ones who are able to come to the rescue are the people who *aren't* able to go to the prom. These fall into familiar "types": the class clown, the geeks, the tough guy, the rockers, etc. With their gung-go coach leading the way, they go into battle against the zombies.This viewer wouldn't consider himself overtly impressed by this one. It's easy enough to take, but at best it generated some modest chuckles, no real belly laughs. It makes no attempt to hide its low budget, what with the hilarious way it situates a nuclear power plant right by a cemetery. What also helps is its level of energy and its consistent forward momentum. It sure doesn't have a lot of story, but that's obviously not the point; it's just out to show its intended audience a good time. There's enough splatter to go around, and some decent sight gags.The characters may largely be clichéd, but they're not hard to root for, with wise guy Jimmy (Jared Kusnitz, "Otis") leading the way. Greyson Chadwick ("Daddy's Little Girls") is appealing as his leading lady Lindsey. Justin Welborn ("The Signal") is amusing as the punk Kyle, Carissa Capobianco ("The Watch") leaves a favourable impression as the cheerleader Gwen, Lucas Till ("X-Men: First Class") and Blair Redford ('The Lying Game') have fun with their roles as rockers, and Mark Oliver ("Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland") is a hoot as the coach.There's nothing memorable here, unless one wants to count the fact that these zombies can be subdued by rock music. Unfortunately, there's not much of an ending; the unsatisfying resolution seems to be setting up a sequel.Five out of 10.

labzy_1692 'wrong turn' deteriorated with each movie and so did 'the hills have eyes'...now being a horror fan I wouldn't lie that I had similar expectations with this one...after 'land of the dead' and 'day of the dead'...who'd ever like to watch a movie named 'dance of the dead'? I downloaded it and was proved wrong....though the humor intended could got a little crappy and predictable at some occasions and the acting sometimes sucked...the movie overall was a good one...the plot is simple...and happens in every other zombie movie you see...the story of survival of a group of people surrounded by people changing into zombies and a hidden love story amidst it.HOwever, this wasn't as lame as it could have been...it was fun to watch and surely relieved my head a little from all the piling tension of work and study...a definite 7/10.

Claudio Carvalho On the day of the Hawaiian Hula Prom, the high-school students are excited with the party. The immature pizza-boy Jimmy Dunn (Jared Kusnitz) has an argument with his girlfriend Lindsey (Greyson Chadwick), who is the vice-president of the student council and wants to wear a corsage, and she calls off their date. The outcast Steven (Chandler Darby), who is one of the members of the mocked Sci-Fi Club, invites the cheerleader Gwen (Carissa Capobianco) to go to the prom with him, but she prefers to invite the leader of the band Quarter Punks Nash Rambler (Blair Redford) to have a date with her, but he rejects her invitation. During the night, Lindsey dates the snobbish Mitch Cutter (Jeff Adelman), who is the president of the student council, and he heads his car to the local cemetery nearby a power plant to make out with Lindsey. Meanwhile the members of the Sci-Fi Club – the president Jules Reiner (Randy McDowell), Steven, George (Michael V. Mammoliti) and Rod (Mark Lynch) – decide to spend the night investigating the cemetery using a MIT device that Jules borrowed from his brother. Out of the blue, Rod is attacked by a zombie and the trio of survivors runs away from a legion of living dead. Meanwhile, Mitch is beheaded by a living dead and Lindsey drives his car to escape of zombies. She rescues Jules, Steven and George and break in the funeral house. Meanwhile, Jimmy is delivering a pizza and is attacked by the dead. He flees and sooner he meets the badass Kyle Grubbin (Justin Welborn) and Gwen that is jogging on the street. The Quarter Punks is rehearsing in Nash's garage and they discover that the zombies like their music. The three groups team-up under the leadership of Coach Keel (Mark Oliver) and together they decide to help the teenagers in the prom. But it may be too late."Dance of the Dead" is an entertaining and gore horror comedy with a huge potential of cult-movie. The plot is not original, actually it is a combination of "Carrie" and "Night of the Living Dead", but the story is hilarious and I laughed a lot. The special effects are another plus of this delightful film. The resemblance of Greyson Chadwick with the sweet Julianne Moore is impressive. I really enjoyed this funny film and laughed a lot. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available
