Dance of the Dead

It's clever locating a zombie plot inside a high school, a place populated by sheep that follow aimlessly through halls with only one thing on their minds. Instead of brains, it's either sex or Magic: The Gathering depending on your social status at the time.

Maybe not something you'll treasure for years to come as a modern cult classic, but not exactly a bad time. There's plenty of funny little gags and pop culture references to make your (probable) one viewing (left the Chiller channel on, forgot where you left the remote, too stoned to look for it) enjoyable. The redneck guy was pretty cool, played by the dude from The Signal having way too much fun.

This movie is the child of a zombie film and a teen comedy. Really a diamond in the rough, one of the better zombie films made lately. There is a story but it doesn't take itself too seriously. It is a lot of ridiculous fun!

Carries the light-heartedness that makes great zombie movies as well as having a relatively good plot, acting, direction, etc. without bordering too much on the side of cheese that some zombie movies do. over all a excellent effort, but not the effervescent over-the-top gruesome, but terrifying gore-fest that would have made it superior.

Why are “so bad it’s good” movies rare? :( I thought this was gonna be one of them, but it’s just shitty, even if it made me laugh a few time, and the cheesy 2008 vibe

Surprisingly decent. Dance doesn't exactly reinvent the genre, but it's got a good balance of humour and action, an actual set of characters rather than just a bunch of people to kill off, a punk band covering Fleetwood Mac, and plenty of just-subtle-enough little nods to its predecessors ("them sumbitches ate my dog!")

Definitely worth a few laughs. The first half is a little slow, but it picks up and there are some really funny bits in there. Good soundtrack, too.

I had to say, it was a cute film; not a great film, and by no means cohesive, but it was cute. If you see the film in HD, you'll notice it's actually quite richly photographed, but the effects (particularly the makeup) sometimes are dumb. I like the film for being silly, and it's hardly the worst thing one could see, but it's just mainly a movie for giggles.

Really entertaining, which is all a zombie movie needs to be.

"It's fast and funny, sick and sweet, geeky and gory. Basically, a whole lot of fun."

Shaky cam galore. It wasn't funny enough to justify its existence.

Good performances, a rock solid script with only a few nitpicky issues, fun characters, pretty good effects for a lower-budget production, & excellent pacing. It doesn't pull punches, isn't afraid of taking risks & subverting expectations, & the comedy is really on point throughout most of it. The kills are inventive. The tension is great, as it really feels like anybody could be next on the body count. There's tons of clever moments, & the dance sequence was great. Definitely check this out.

Better than Life After Beth.

As usual, 'horror-comedy' is neither.

Dance of the Dead winds up on the wrong side of forettable for me. It's pretty derivative with the only originality coming from parts of the concept, which itself borrows heavily from plenty of successful films before it. With nothing to add and less to say, the movie stands alone as "just another zombie movie."

Full of gore and humor, a typical zombie flick.

Maybe not the worst, but definitely one of the most forgettable and cliche zombie films.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Kind of charming, actually.

Only a rip-off Jonny Depp look-a-like's music can calm the horde! This was...pretty meh. Plus, a nerdy virgin zombie gets it on in a bathroom stall with a cheerleader zombie? And then they eat each other...Bahaha! Silly movie, zombies don't eat each other! Or else a zombie scare would be rendered pointless. We'd just sit back with some popcorn and watch them scarf down.

okay movie

"dawn of the dead" meets "10 things i hate about you" ... not a good movie, but kinda entertaining :D
