Dance of the Dead Released

The film was originally shown at London’s Frightfest, but Ghost House Underground will be releasing a DVD version for your fans who want to sink your teeth into it. The movie is basically comedic teen oriented horror which attempts to pull off a zombie comedy hybrid. The storyline is pretty cookie cutter, a power plant causes a zombie outbreak and only the geeks in town can save the town. The redeeming quality of the movie is the script and nicely acted characters, not to mention a whole batch of fine performances from the actors who are actually the age which they are playing. You’ve got your goofball hero and his sidekicks saving the day, which is little more than you could expect from this indie film.

The whole cast is nicely layered to compliment each other and the actors work well together on screen. The zombies aren’t gut wrenching horrific beings like you’d see in a Romero film, but they are nicely done to the point of being what we’ve come to expect from zombie movies. The movie maintains a good level of suspense and horror, so if you’re looking for something new in the horror genre, then Dance of the Dead is definitely for you.
