Okay, so my overall review of Dance of The Dead is that it has a creepy and original World War III story, interesting characters, kinda quiet yet sometimes hard to follow - and it had a lot of psychadelic moments.
The first moments of Dance of The Dead were promising a lot more, but then the disappointment came. I mean, the overall story makes total sense, yet is kinda weird and perverted, somehow twisted. Acting was terrible, and didn't make me fall into the story at all.
I have to be honest though, when i started to watch Masters of Horror, this was the first episode i saw, and it was the episode that made me aware of the existence of the series. When i saw the trailer, i thought that it had to be awesome, i mean, come on - no one grabs 13 of the greatest horror movie directors (including - that's right - Tobe Hopper) and produces lame horror cinema. It's simply impossible, like an attack to the work of the so-called masters of horror. Maybe this was why Dance of the Dead disappointed me so much, i loved Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hopper's masterpiece from 1974) and i was expecting a gory, scary story.
It wasn't that bad, yet it had it's ridiculous points - on to provoke laughter. Definitely not the best of the season.
