"Masters of Horror" Dance of the Dead (2005)
In a post-apocalypse society, the seventeen years old Peggy lives with her protective mother and works in her restaurant. She misses her sister Anna, who died some time ago. When two couples of punks come to the place to eat some hamburgers, Peggy feels attracted by Jak, who invites her to date with him later. Peggy goes out with Jak without telling her mother, and they go to a dark place, the Doom Room, where the master of ceremony is the ringmaster of a freak show with dead. The MC injects blood in the dead, and they dance on a ring for the exalted audience. When Peggy sees her sister Anna dancing in the show, the MC discloses the truth about her presence in the circus. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Directed by Tobe Hooper. Based on a short story by Richard Matheson. (Sounds like a good line up huh? HA!
[SIZE="4"]While I thought I was about to watch a decently reviewed zombie movie that I really want to see, I stumbled into this pile of undead poo.I thought, hey, this was directed by the guy who did "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"(74),"Salems Lot", and "Eaten Alive". But DAMN did he slip with this one.The filming of this movie is dizzying, with worthless effects that add nothing, the acting, though a favorite actor of mine, Jonathan Tucker from the Ruins and Black Donnellys stars in the film, was very sub-par, and though the setting is kinda post-apocalyptic, it really didn't catch the feel properly. The only good things I found was that the special effect were okay, and Robert England was in it. He will always earn a watch. [/SIZE]
So all in all, I give it
[SIZE="6"]2 HEADSHOTS OUTTA 10![/SIZE]That 2nd star is for you Freddy!
