I bought this movie because I really enjoyed some of the stills of the neat way the ghosts look. I then started watching it.... All actors are fairly decent except for the guy who plays the Oafish friend.... he is god aweful. It then starts as a typical cursed by ghosts, ghost story. The sound design all around for this is actually excellent. Reminded me a lot in the beginning of the original House on Haunted hill where they use lighting and sound to create a mood.... Was really starting to like it.... then they start using really cheap looking effects. You can do alot with cheap effects using the afformentioned sound and lighting but these just looked horrible.... and not in the Evil Dead (pseudo-comedy awesome sort of way). One effect of a small ghost was so obviously a latex mask it was laughable. If you watch the extras where the director talks about making the ghosts... they only did up to two revisions max of the ghosts and the macettes (sp) were actually much cooler then the final products (They really screwed up the finals with the eyes).

The ending was so horrible and went in a terribly cheesy direction...(slight spoiler alert) including slam dunking skulls with cheesy catch phrases. Watch it for it's cheese factor, but don't let the beginning actual dark horror movie atmosphere lead you to believe it will remain that way.

BTW... has anyone else noticed how much one of the Ghosts rips off Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy Video (done 10 years ago! And much creepier to boot)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great premise, iffy in parts, but overall fun March 6, 2007
Format:DVD
I tend to be pretty critical of films that suck. Luckily, this ain't one of them. I can admit that there are some issues with the film (mostly due to budgetary constraints), but overall I was very impressed with the film's premise, a couple FREAKY scenes (especially a bedroom scene with the main girl coming out the shower...you'll see it and it'll make your heart race), the performances, and the movie overall. Pretty enteraining, and worth a view or two.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another After Dark blahfest. May 30, 2008
Format:DVD
The Gravedancers (Mike Mendez, 2006)

When a movie starts out with the name of the cemetery misspelled, you know you're in big trouble. Well, it doesn't actually start out that way, per se; there's an opening scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film. So now you have two indications that you're in big trouble. Add in that this was one of the films from the much-vaunted and entirely underwhelming After Dark Horrorfest, and, well, strike three, you're out.

The Gravedancers is about three idiots who reunite after some time apart at the wake of a fourth idiot who was one of their college buddies. The three idiots in question are Harris (Prison Break's Dominic Purcell), who's now married to the somewhat shrewish Allison Mitchell (Clare Kramer, recently of The Skulls III); Kira (Van Helsing's Josie Maran, who will probably be best remembered as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars), with whom Harris shares a tumultuous past affair (about which Allison knows); and Sid (Edmond's Marcus Thomas), who just doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut. After the wake, the three of them head out to the graveyard, get drunk, and dance on graves. As if this isn't muddleheaded enough, they happen to be in the section of the cemetery that houses undesirables, and they scare up three really, really nasty ghosts. To help with their haunting problem, they turn to parapsychologist Vincent Cochet (Tcheky Karyo, easily the best thing about this movie) and his perky, yet mysterious, assistant Culpepper (Megahn Perry). From there, it's special effects central, of course.

As with the rest of the After Dark movies, this one has about as many scares as your freezer (if you keep it clean). To add to the fun, this one also has some really terrible acting (many folks have already pointed out how unintentionally hilarious Marcus Thomas is throughout the film; his acting even occasioned an entire thread in the movie's IMDB forum), bargain-basement special effects in the movie's climax, and a script that went as far as it possibly could in both cliché and predictability. Skip this one. *

4.0 out of 5 stars B rated but worth watching
The citing wasn't bad nor was the cast. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the special effects and the plot being muddled through in parts.
