Dance of the Dead

Remember when you went to prom and you had to blow up the gymnasium because everyone inside was a flesh eating zombie?  Yeah?  Good times, good times.
 
The grounds keeper of a cemetery doesn't seem to mind it when he is trying to keep a flower vase upright and a hand comes at him out of the grave below him.  He just snips it off with his hedge clippers and goes about his business.  It just so happens that the town is next to a nuclear power plant, so this must be a regular occurrence for him.
 
Meet the kids of Cosa High School that we will be watching throughout the film.  The popular kids, the cheerleader, the nerds, the bully, the student counsel, and so forth.  They will be the main focus of the movie.  It's prom time too, and everyone is looking forward to the Hawaiian Hula Prom.  Unless you are not going to prom, then the night is going to be pretty boring.
 
Well not this time, because if you are not going to the prom, you will help save the town from the army of zombies that have just begun to take over.
 
There are a few good face stomping scenes.  A scene where a guy is beaten with his own arm and even zombie frogs.  I don't know how the dissected frogs came to be zombies too, but I am not complaining.
 
This movie takes a lighter look at zombies.  It still has the gore and senseless violence that you would expect from a zombie movie, but lets the castaway teenagers win the day by killing all of the zombies.  Overall, not that bad of a flick.
 
I give this movie 3 1/2 out of 5 spiked baseball bats.
