A decent film that captures the post-apocalyptic atmosphere well.

Although I find the camerawork really substandard. Nice try to incorporate such a busy, hip filter, but at a certain point I found it becoming very distracting, and it certainly isn't beautiful.

The characters aren't particularly special, although Englund does portray a likeable character. It never gets truly scary or suspenseful, but it is reasonably amusing, although it could have been quite a bit more intense at times, as it remains fairly tame in that regard.

So far, one of the weaker ones in the series.

small 2.5*

MOH episode 10.

Expectations for this episode were incredibly low. Not only did the story not appeal to me, but the scores on MM and IMDb are also terrible. And this isn't for us. The whole thing looks incredibly amateurish compared to other episodes, and nowhere does it become truly engaging, exciting, or scary. The only thing that somewhat saves the film are the occasionally cool shots of the Doom Room. This actually looked quite atmospheric. Oh well, we survived. 2.0*.

Director Tobe Hooper delivers a foolish and utterly chaotic sketch of an apocalyptic world, with rather muddled ideas and a lack of empathy. On the one hand, Dance of the Dead looks very modern and pristine; on the other, Hooper occasionally throws in a horror concept to remind the viewer that this is seriously intended as a destroyed environment. Unfortunately, all these ideas are expressed very superficially in this whole, with poorly acted characters, ugly visual special effects, and a finale that truly makes no sense at all. Even within the short running time, it is barely possible to get through it.

Incidentally, since then I also read the short story on which this project is based. Despite the well-known author (Richard Matheson), that monstrosity poses an even greater challenge to get through with focus, so Hooper was basically in a pickle right from the start.
