Dance of the Dead. (2008). This entry into teen scream horror comedy had all of the makings of a bad flick gone worse, but somehow avoids all such pitfalls and instead churns out a devilish good time. Not necessarily original, the fresh and talented cast adds to its sense of originality. What may have brought this up a level is that it somehow captures the awkward essence of high school in an effortless manner. There are some laugh out loud moments as well as scenes that are just too delightful for words. This low-budget bloodfest never feels cheesy, but instead replaces dollars with outright talent. With witty dialog, fun scenes, and rock and roll fun, Dance of the Dead is a wonderful addition into this difficult genre. Merci beaucoup.
