R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD Just when you think the film is about to run out of steam, it picks up the pace and surprises you. It's not for everyone, to be sure, but it works in its own unusual way. Rated: 6/10 Jan 16, 2011 Full Review Steve Biodrowski ESplatter The Gravedancers works as a creepy nail-biter that combines old-fashioned eerie supernatural tension with more contemporary phsycial horror. Jul 7, 2008 Full Review Christopher Campbell Cinematical The Gravedancers is good, stupid entertainment that knows its ghosts and has a lot of fun introducing them to you. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2007 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A scary, well directed, and frantic gem, even with its flaws... Rated: 3/4 Jul 10, 2007 Full Review Brian Juergens Bloody Disgusting A thrilling diamond in the rough -- a unique and fun addition to the haunting subgenre. Rated: 8/10 Nov 16, 2006 Full Review Dread Central An exacting ghost story wielding an old school fright mentality... Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 13, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Alexandre L Original, Fun, Spooky, and Twisted. I personally liked it and it is a standout in the Horrorfest series. The giant head at the end though kind of killed though… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review michael b An Absoulit Gem Of A Ghost Story, Totally Outstanding.😱😱😱😱🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Elvis D Para tratarse de una película hecha con un presupuesto moderado, The Gravedancers es una muy agradable sorpresa. Siendo realistas, muchas de estas películas lanzadas por After Dark son bastante buenas y son algo que sobresale bastante en el mundo del cine de bajo presupuesto. The Gravedancers es una historia de fantasmas y espíritus como cualquier otra, pero se nota bastante el empeño que pusieron en hacer esta película. Tiene incluso un buen ambiente con buenos jump scares. Hay algunas imperfecciones en los efectos especiales, pero no afectan en nada a la película. El maquillaje de los muertos tiene una cierta obviedad, pero es admirable lo bastante prácticos que son los efectos. Los efectos digitales son incluso buenos a pesar de no ser tan profesionales. Definitivamente, The Gravedancers es una película bastante buena para disfrutar. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Weak, weak movie. Bad dialogue, directing, and acting - with a few exceptions. Looked promising at the start, but AVOID. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review kevin c A small group of estranged friends come together for a friend funeral and while celebrating their friends life at their grave make the mistake of dancing on a few surrounding graves, unleashing vengeful spirits. This a pretty effective and decently made horror film. It's doesn't rush through and concentrates on the characters and the story which makes it much more enjoyable to the viewer. Good watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "Respect the dead" This has so much potential to be good but misses the mark SO hard! Looking at it from the 2006 viewpoint, the special effects were probably somewhat scary then…now however, it's so cheesy and BAD!! The concept is good, you can defiantly understand the "why's and how's" of the curse they're under. It's the CGI effects that get me! It's what makes the movie bad and ending worse!! They go too far at the end with the CGI it turns the whole thing comical when it shouldn't... It's like they tried to put every "horror" effect they could possibly jam into it haha Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
