      cesar c Acabo de ver esta película, Maria Ford no solo es hermosa, sino que sus habilidades en artes marciales son reales. Es una increíble bailarina, actriz y luchadora. Una Diosa Latina siempre! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Katt Shea finished Dance of the Damned on a Saturday. Roger Corman asked if she could come up with a movie by Monday because he still had the strip club set for a few more days. On Monday through Friday of the next week, Shea and her crew shot topless dancing footage. Then, she and partner Andy Ruben took three weeks to write the movie around all that bump and grind. This would explain why the dancing scenes in the follow-up to Stripped to Kill seem to come from another universe, the place where patrons disappear and we mainly see music videos of girls doing interprative dance. As for the slasher part of the story, Maria Ford's Shady has the giallo problem of passing out and waking up covered in blood. If that happened one time to you, you'd be concerned. But five times? Marjean Holden (Sheeva from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation), Karen Mayo-Chandler (976-Evil II), Birke Tan, Debra Lamb (who was in the first movie), Lisa Glaser (Humanoids from the Deep) and Jeannine Bisignano all appear as the dancers who are the target of the killer, whoever he or she may be. This movie is full of hallucinations, love scenes in the rain and a slasher plot that is really hard to follow to the point that I'm tempted to call it a giallo and figure out another slasher for my Junsploitation slasher day movie. That said, I think we all need more movies with saxophone sex dream sequences and if it takes calling this a slasher to make it happen, that's the price we all have to pay. Shea has no idea why people like this movie, one she wrote as she went as Corman kept telling her to put more nude scenes into the product. Sometimes when you're working under rough conditions, weird magic happens. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review victor o I saw the first movie and wondered whether or not to watch this. Compared to the original, the budget looked smaller and had only two performers from the last movie return but in different roles. This was a sequel in name only and I did not want to waste my time until I saw that the star was Maria Ford. Gorgeous and charming, I was not going to miss this. A young woman has been having frightening dreams of killing people all the while murders have been occurring around the place of her work. The young woman being a stripper at a club going by the name of Shady gets helped by a local cop looking to help her even as he begins to suspect her as the person responsible. But things are not as they seem as the cop begins to suspect that Shady is innocent and that someone else might be responsible. Not a bad movie, if anything it feels better than the last movie. The lead actress is gorgeous but not a strong actress, but her character fits the story better. This is not Oscar-worthy, just hot women in a basic thriller. Fine time watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor sequel with the same plot as the original except this one has no budget for extras and no Kay Lenz to lift the material. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Worse in every respect to the original, sorely missing the credible actors of the first film. Artsy strip shows are mostly a bore; personal favourite Maria Ford's first feature and she had not yet established the presence that would make her one of the most appreciated regulars of the Concorde roster. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor sequel with the same plot as the original except this one has no budget for extras and no Kay Lenz to lift the material.
