Dance of the Dead G
Zombies are overdone.
This is one of the better post-Millennium entries. So what sets this apart from the incessant “walking
dead” releases? Like any genre or
subgenre, it’s hard to be original. So
with zombie films (arguably any
horror film), there has to be good characters, creative kills, effective use of
setting, be scary or suspenseful and ultimately how it’s executed. This movie has all of that. It begins as a teen movie with interesting
characters I wouldn’t mind seeing in a straight comedy. The dead eventually rise (as a result of the
town being next to a power plant?) so various cliques band together to escape
and exterminate the “rotters” on the way to prom. The gory bits and zombie make-up are
well-done. Rock music temporarily saves
the day too! Prom is so overrated. Skip it and watch this instead, you’ll
probably have more fun! 7/6/2016
