Decent movie November 6, 2008
It's a really good, very creepy movie. One of the best Horrorfest Films to date.
The only problem I had was getting it to play in my PS2, it stopped about half way through. It did work in my regular dvd player
 The Film didn't look that great. August 31, 2008

OK, I've only seen a few bits and pieces of this film. But from what I saw this movie didn't really look that good. It looked like it was a boring movie about the College crowd that dragged allot. And from what I've seen and read about these after dark film fest movies all of them are boring like this film except for "Dark Ride" and one other movie.
Great Bad Movie! July 2, 2008

This movie tried really, really hard. Three stars for the effort. The movie makers even used classic non-CGI, no-moving-parts masks for the monsters, and managed to pull off a few quality scary scenes. The story had potential, but I get the feeling it wasn't thoroughly thought out.
Ever have an idea for a story or a movie at a bar, while drinking with your friends? After you sober up, you forget what the heck the story was about. The guys that made this movie should have had a few more beers.
Rent it if you can, but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you're a big fan of old-school monster masks.
Check this one out instead... June 7, 2008
While "The Gravedancers" had it's moments it was hampered by bad special effects and a bad ending (bad because of the special effects). Still fun to watch if you enjoy horror movies, which I'm assuming you do if you're reading these reviews. If you want to see a really good indie horror film I'd recommend "Baby Blues", which is coming to DVD in August. I was lucky enough to attend a private screening, and I thought it was really creepy and it had some twists that I was not expecting. Baby Blues
Another After Dark blahfest. May 30, 2008

The Gravedancers (Mike Mendez, 2006)
When a movie starts out with the name of the cemetery misspelled, you know you're in big trouble. Well, it doesn't actually start out that way, per se; there's an opening scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film. So now you have two indications that you're in big trouble. Add in that this was one of the films from the much-vaunted and entirely underwhelming After Dark Horrorfest, and, well, strike three, you're out.
The Gravedancers is about three idiots who reunite after some time apart at the wake of a fourth idiot who was one of their college buddies. The three idiots in question are Harris (Prison Break's Dominic Purcell), who's now married to the somewhat shrewish Allison Mitchell (Clare Kramer, recently of The Skulls III); Kira (Van Helsing's Josie Maran, who will probably be best remembered as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars), with whom Harris shares a tumultuous past affair (about which Allison knows); and Sid (Edmond's Marcus Thomas), who just doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut. After the wake, the three of them head out to the graveyard, get drunk, and dance on graves. As if this isn't muddleheaded enough, they happen to be in the section of the cemetery that houses undesirables, and they scare up three really, really nasty ghosts. To help with their haunting problem, they turn to parapsychologist Vincent Cochet (Tcheky Karyo, easily the best thing about this movie) and his perky, yet mysterious, assistant Culpepper (Megahn Perry). From there, it's special effects central, of course.
As with the rest of the After Dark movies, this one has about as many scares as your freezer (if you keep it clean). To add to the fun, this one also has some really terrible acting (many folks have already pointed out how unintentionally hilarious Marcus Thomas is throughout the film; his acting even occasioned an entire thread in the movie's IMDB forum), bargain-basement special effects in the movie's climax, and a script that went as far as it possibly could in both cliche and predictability. Skip this one. *
