As you probably know by now, we like our un-dead pictures around here. Even the cheaper ones – which turn out to be quite good and sometimes better than the big budget affairs. So it looks like Austin will get a first look at Gregg Bishop’s Dance of the Dead at their South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in March.
It’s my experience after two years of Toronto After Dark, that these smaller budget, teen horror flicks are almost always worth their price in admission tickets. From Night of the Living Dorks (my review) to Automaton Transfusion (my review), although rough in a few spots, have more than enough energy and “brains!” to please even the most die hard of zombie maniacs (me).
So this new flick, though not the most inspirational of titles, involves a zombie outbreak that occurs during a high school prom. The only ones who can quell the uprising are the dorky kids who weren’t cool enough to find a date to the dance. Although I won’t be making it to Austin, TX this time around, I’ll definitely be keeping myself posted on this one (hence, you’ll be kept posted). So for now, check out some pics “below the fold” courtesy of Firstshowing.net and also a link to the SXSW Festival web site for the full schedule and box office…
