Danza macabra

I do actually believe that I have watched the 1992 horror movie "Dance Macabre" once before, probably some time back in the mid-1990s. However, I have to admit that I had forgotten about the movie, and thus opted watch it here in 2024, as I had the opportunity to do so.

And let me just say that now that I've watched the movie again, I realize why this movie was erased from my memory. Talk about a dumpster fire of a storyline if there ever was one. Writer and director Greydon Clark put together an insanely boring and uneventful script and storyline, and that just didn't make for an interesting viewing experience. And while the movie is listed as a horror movie, you have to look long and hard to find anything even remotely horror-like about it.

Of course I was lured into watching "Dance Macabre" because the movie had horror icon Robert Englund on the cast list. And that was about it as for familiar faces, I didn't recognize anyone else on the cast list. The acting performances were fair, but the actors and actresses virtually had nothing wholesome to work with.

Visually then you're not in for anything extraordinary here. There are very little special effects in the movie, so not even that could manage to lift up the movie a bit.

If you enjoy horror movies, you should give "Dance Macabre" a wide berth. It just simply isn't worth the effort.

My rating of writer and director Greydon Clark's 1992 'horror' movie lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
