The star of New York's ARTISTIC DANCE CENTRE lies dead in the center's shower. A large hat-pin protrudes from her bare breast...it has pierced her heart killing her instantly. She will be the first of many dancers to die a similar death in a series of mysterious murders that will baffle New York's finest police and lead to speculation that another dancer at the Centre is responsible. The mysterious directress Candice sets out to find the killer with a little assistance from a shady male model named George who has a hidden agenda. Ambition and jealousy...the motive. A classic ""who-done-it"" with great plot and beautiful cast.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 631595061697 Manufacturer No: SSDVD-0616

3.0 out of 5 stars A different Fulci..., August 31, 2006

...I had never heard of this movie before I saw myself staring at it at the store. As soon as I saw the name "Fulci" I was almost sold. I knew being a different kind of film from the usual Fulci gorefests, that this one would not be like those, but I gave it a chance anyway. I was surprised, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. In this movie you can see a different type of Fulci, as there is not gore---yes there is killing but it is only stabbing. I liked the 80's music, it gave the film authenticity for its time. If you appreciate the work of Lucio Fulci give this one a try, it is different from his other films, but not bad by any means. I liked it way better than Anthropaphagus (I know they have nothing in common, but I feel I wasted by money on that stinker). Worth viewing at least once, if you can afford it I would add it to your library of Fulci works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't deserve such low ratings., December 9, 2008

Ok, it's nowhere near as good as Zombi 2, The Beyond, City Of The Living Dead, Lizard In A Woman's Skin, Don't Torture A Duckling, etc... But it's still a pretty good movie! It has a few plot holes, it doesn't have any gore (surprisingly) and the music is really cheesy, but it's pretty entertaining, it has a great suspensful atmosphere (during the killings) and a great twist ending (the killer is the character that I expected the least to be the killer)!

See it, but don't expect too much.

3.5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars I never thought Dancing and Italian Horror would create such cinema vomit., July 31, 2008

I'm so depressed that this movie is a Lucio Fulci film. It completely lacked ANY gore or scares and it bored me the ENTIRE time! Fulci is well known for his in-your-face gore as seen in previous films such as Zombie, The Beyond or even House By The Cemetary. All of those films are almost INSANELY disgusting at times and it was always a big perk of viewing Fulci's films to anticipate the oncoming carnage. However, with Murder Rock, there is literally NONE. You see a needle peirce a chest in EVERY murder scene. There is literally a drop of blood! That's it!!! I was completely let down by this film. The HORRENDOUS dance routines were totally 1980's jazzersize-and not in a good way. The music is God Awful. What was up with that opening cheese-fest ballad???? I was literally staring at my tv thinking, "Is this really happening? Am I really hearing these lyrics?? Did a couple of people pulled off the street just sing a song about believing in yourself and taking chances? Tonight is your night??? Are you kidding me?!!" By far the WORST opening scene to a film I have ever seen in all 27 years of my life.

Don't even bother to waste your time on this film. It's dull, gore-free and pointless. Not even a good killer. Bad, boring and Blah!
