I found this movie in the 1$ pile and since I was up for some horror, decided to give it a try. Both the best and worst decision I made in a long time.It was so bad that my sides hurt from laughing. Great if you're going through a bad time and need some cheering up.My main reasoning behind this opinion: - Bad acting - Low budget looks like it was all spent in the beginning, leaving the CGI to get worse and worse as the movie goes on - Terrible execution of story line, so many plot holes and weird quirks - Another forced addition to the horror genre that gives it a bad nameBut again, they managed to make the movie entertainingly bad, instead of annoyingly bad. Definitely worth the watch, though you should go in with much lower expectations than I had.

After a drunken wake, old pals Harris (Dominic Purcell), Sid (Marcus Thomas) and Kira (Josie Maran) pay a night-time visit to the grave of a recently deceased friend where they discover a mourner's card advocating 'living for the moment' by dancing on the graves of the dead. The trio decide to do just that, but of all of the plots in the cemetery, they opt to cut the rug on the graves of three rather particularly wicked souls, a child pyromaniac, an axe murderer, and a sadomasochistic rapist, all of whom take serious offence at the desecration of their final resting places.The Gravedancers starts out in routine ghost-story fashion, with its scary supernatural occurrences taking the predictable form of creaking doors, strange noises, and the occasional, briefly-glimpsed spectral apparition; 'Ho-hum', I thought to myself, 'here we go again'. But as the film developed, it took a delightfully unexpected turn, taking an approach that I can only describe as 'Scooby Doo' for adults, with its well realised spooks and the introduction of a pair of 'ghostbusters' (Tchéky Karyo as paranormal investigator Vincent, and Megahn Perry as his sexy Velma-alike colleague Frances).From here-on in, the film is loads of fun, with a hugely entertaining scene in the cemetery where the friends attempt to exhume the ghosts' corpses (during which Kira is trapped inside a coffin and slowly dragged into the ground), a really creepy bit where the friends are drawn into the killers' virtual worlds (the rapists lair being particularly spooky), and an exciting showdown against the spirits in an old mansion. Director Mike Mendez unwisely resorts to a glut of CGI effects for his film's OTT finale, an unnecessary move that ends matters on something of a bum note, but even so, I reckon the film is still well worth a rating of 8/10.

I like horror movies with a preference toward haunted house movie and old school horror, and I like this movie... up to a point. The premise: three friends get drunk after a funeral and dance at the cemetery on graves in the area for the deranged. Afterwards, they become haunted by the psychos over whose bodies they danced. Why? Because a mysterious person left behind a chant which they... just happened to announce out loud. The premise is good, but the why is contrived. The story is scary, the ghosts are casual and the chain of events is preposterous as is the ghost hunters who risk their safety to help them. It is very hard for me to believe that the parapsychologist in the movie would go to such extreme ways and such a leap of faith to dig up some graves and follow a ridiculous mystical ritual instead of just tracking down the person who left the note that starts everything off. What? Did he get his degree out of a box of Crackerjacks? Besides that, several of the ghost sequences are scary, but the climax is a bit anticlimactic. Paranormal accuracy is out the window for sake of story, but the movie is a "worth-see" if you want good to uneven scares.

I saw the DVD cover, normally when there a good DVD cover the movie is not that good, so I didn't think this movie will be any good or scary.The story two men and Girl go to a graveyard at night after there friends funeral and they start to drinking and dancing on graves.Then not long after, strange things start to happen as the Doors are opening and shutting and piano is playing while no in the room They soon find out that each one of them are being haunted by ghost because they were dancing on there grave but worse is that they have danced on grave of Insane people.This is really good movie, It's the best movie to watch by your self in the Dark, the movie did make me Jump which was Great and did like how the movie start of when we could not see the ghost, it was more creepy as we don't when it will attack, also did like the ghost in movie were really scary looking too.A really good scary ghost story movie with great acting too but the ending did the let the whole movie down.I give this movie 8/10
