The Gravedancers Reviews
If characters in horror movies were smart, there wouldn't be much room for entertainment. While not groundbreaking in any way, I'm glad the characters in The Gravedancers are gleefully stupid. If the beginning seems somewhat dull, stick with it. The last half is a fun, terrifying, thrill ride!
I agree with the guy that said this should be on the Sci-Fi Channel. Cheesy
For such a stupid film, this one sure was a lot of fun. And there were some genuinely creepy effects here and there!
A tad cheesy and some areas such as the overall acting are less impressive than others, but still scary and entertaining enough to warrant a watch.
Interesting plot. Not scary. Ending was ridiculous!
Just a few pacing errors and plotting mistakes away from being a truly great horror film. It begins and for the most part is quite excellent, but unfortunately, it begins to fall apart toward the very end. If it weren't for that it would be a better film.
A relatively unknown horror movie that deserves a little more spotlight. Despite it seeming like a low-budget cash-in with the tame acting and simple story, it builds throughout and delivers with shocks and classic scares. It's not your average ghost story, but it's definitely a horror film worth trying for.
The Gravedancers was an unexpected surprise from the low expectations set by the title and plot description. While there's nothing that particularly stand's out about the movie, it was a competently executed low budget, rip off film. It's a ghost story about 3 friends who inadvertently make themselves the targets of 3 particularly nasty ghosts. While their were some creepy and suspenseful moments, it did not achieve the edge of your seat ride of the best in ghost stories. More often the stand out scenes were the violent attack scenes, making it feel a bit more like a slasher film than a ghost tale.
Thrilling, scary now what can i tell now, yah can anybody tell me wheres the grave of bruce lee \m/ haha
Pretty creepy. Some parts are so boring I felt like falling asleep. However, the parts with the action and horror were awsome. After seeing this, I don't want to walk in a graveyard ever again after I saw what happened to the dumb people who danced on the graves.
pretty good horror movie! even if you celebrate that you are alive, be aware where you do that! respect those who are dead and dont dance on their bones.
Gravedancers is a mixed bag horror that concerns three friends (Dominic Purcell, Josie Maran and Marcus Thomas) who get drunk after another friend's funeral and a subsequent visit to the cemetery results in finding a mysterious envelope which instructs them to dance on graves. Which they do. But, their graveyard hi-jinx result in a curse in which they will be haunted for a month by the occupants of the graves they danced on, then sent to their own graves unless the curse is broken. Gravedancers, as directed by Mike Mendez, has some nice atmosphere and truly spooky effects and sequences despite it's silly plot. But, there is also a lot of silly stuff too and it kills any tension the spookier stuff builds. Some of the dialog also sounds laughably bad despite the all round good performances by a solid cast and silly becomes the magic word here as a somewhat decent horror flick drowns in the silliness of it's story and script. The overblown CGI chase finale is laughable not fear inducing. Also stars genre favorite Clare Kramer as Purcell's wife and vet Tcheky Karyo trying to keep his dignity in the Van Helsing role.
I really enjoyed this one. Good old fashioned curses, graves and funerals.

Not bad but lacked something
This one starts pretty typical, but about 45 minutes into it things pick up, and it actually becomes a really good movie.
