Dance Of The Dead Review

By: Michael Lee

Starring: Chandler Darby, Carissa Capobianco, Randy McDowell
Year: 2008

Ever Since "Shaun Of The Dead" Was Released, It Seems Every Independent Horror Production Studios and Their Grandmother Has Made A Comedy Zombie Movie. And In A World Full Of Duds ("Flight Of The Living Dead", "Boy Eats Girl") "Dance Of The Dead" Really Shines. Triumph In Nearly Every Way; Not Only Is an Independent Film That Takes its Small Budget And Runs With It, it is Everything You Want Out Of a Horror Comedy and More. There Is A TON Of Character Development, Which Isn't Even In More than Half the Serious Horror Movies Out There Today, But The Writing Is Sharp And I'm Sure There Are Many Quotes I Will Be Repeating Over and Over Again At School ("I've Never Shot A Machete" Comes To Mind) And The Breakfast Club Of Characters Are Great. There Are Nerds, Cheerleaders, Burnouts, And Prom Queens, All Fighting Your Sterotypical Zombies (Except For The Fact They Shoot Out Of Their Graves And Are Hypnotized By Hardcore Rock Music) Here Lies The True Comedy. "Dance" Dosen't Take Its Self Seriously, Just Like every Other Horror comedy, But It's Not Cheesy at All. There May Be Some Over The Top Moments Like Cheerleader/Nerd Zombie Love Making And A Science Teacher Getting Killed By A Zombie Frog, But It Did Not Dirive Away From the Story Telling At All. "Dance Of The Dead" Surley Dosen't Disappoint, And It's Absolutley Gonna Go Down As One Of My Favorites

8 out of 10 Nerdism Nerds.
