Masters Of Horror - Series 1 Episode 3

Dance Of The Dead
Dir: Tobe Hooper

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, a young girl becomes involved with a gang that frequents a nightclub where the owner makes zombies dance for a paying audience.
This is another poor episode with a wasted premise. The idea of a post-apocalyptic world caused by some sort of plague is intriguing and the flashback scenes are well done. But the story just isn't interesting and the actors are miscast. This doesn't seem to know what it's trying to be, but it certainly isn't scary or suspenseful. The 'Dance Of The Dead' scenes are really bad and the story just becomes laughable when it tries to add a serious twist at the end.
