Review of Dance of the Dead (2008) by Bill M — 13 Oct 2008

Zombies have invaded a small town thanks to the nuclear power plant that's right next to the cemetery. Meanwhile, students are preparing for their senior prom.

There's the generic school groups: the outsiders led by Jimmy (Jared Kusnitz), the Student Government led by Lindsey (Greyson Chadwick), the science geeks led by Steven (Chandler Darby), the cheerleaders led by Gwen (Carissa Capobianco), the bullies led by Kyle (Justin Welborn) and the punk rockers led by Nash (Blair Redford).

In one fateful night, these groups must band together in order to survive the zombie apocalypse that is plaguing them. Will they be able to put aside their social differences and unite under a common goal? Not since "Shaun of the Dead" have I laughed so hard at a zombie movie - well, laughed in the sense that it was supposed to be funny, not because it was horribly done. Quite possibly one of the best zombie movies to date, it blends humor, horror, and drama in a seamless line that has you rooting for the heroes and actually caring about their safety. One zombie movie that should not be missed!
