The Demon's Waltz

Boring, poorly acted, and PREACHY. I'm a 50 year horror fan and if you love horror, don't watch this. If you enjoy being religiously preached at, then knock yourself out. I don't.

Those are the kind of movies that deserve a below 0 score, the acting is ridiculously bad, the way the movie is shot and everything else.

High school grade failed project. Sadly seems everyone can film and put out movies theses days.

When I first came across this title in Amazon Prime, I immediately came right to IMDB. I saw all these 1 star reviews creating a poor impression of the film. Although the 1 stars were a bit of a turn off and might have influenced me to select another film, the title itself still seemed to have a hold on me. The Demon's Waltz. There's just something about the title that lets it catch you.

I took the time to watch the movie preview and was able to see that the filming itself was low budget similar to early Lion's Gate before Lion's Gate became a big player. If you can get pass the low budget filming, the movie itself actually has an awesome storyline that centers around a cursed dance and horrible things happening to the women who perform the dance.

If anyone out there is looking for an unknown horror film that would hold their attention from beginning to end, I would definitely suggest The Demon's Waltz. No big name actresses or actors. Just a low budget horror film that relies on good story telling despite the low budget film work.

The 1 star ratings the film has received were definitely not a fair rating, because The Demon's Waltz is so much more than a 1 star movie.

For the most part this film suffers from poor editing, and somewhat uneven acting. The actors do a reasonable job, for being as unseasoned as they are. Unfortunately an interesting storyline is undercut by a lack of cohesion, and inelegant editing. This could have been a fun new horror trope with experienced actors, and a more clearly defined "mythology". I have seen several excellent horror films that relied on a good vs evil scaffold to support the conflict, but this film unfortunately struggled to earn the heavy handed ending, with little to no previous nods to judeo Christian mysticism/supernal gestures to make sense.

Hahahahaha. Another 2021 horror movie! This is about aspiring dancers and what they have to go through!!!

And it is pretty bad. It's no Black Swan, let me tell ya. 3/10.
