Dance of the Dead

Ging into this movie I wasn't expecting anything ground breaking or new in the ways of zombie movies. With that bing said, I really enjoyed this movie a lot. It was just a solid 90 minutes of mindless zombie fun. The was a little gore, but nothing that would gross most people out. The charaters weren't boring or irritating, like in most of the horror flicks I've come across as of late. I really liked the cheesiness of how the dead bodies literally exploded out of the graves. Pretty fun stuff. With the exception of the main two characters it's almost like they randomly chose who was going to survive at the end, which was kinda interesting too. A strightforward fun flick. But nothing to original. 4/5
