The Demon's Waltz

This is one of the WORST movies I've ever seen. A bunch of people staring - at various people, (???) Okay well.... .

Yeah ok so, I have no idea why I'm going to watch this after only watching the trailer I can tell this is not going to be a good movie or experience. Alas, I suffer and leave honest reviews so you don't have to.

Acting, worse than a middle school play, yep not even high-school quality bad. Filming looks like it was shot on a 100 dollar still photo camera that just so happens to be able to record video too. All the actresses, I'm assuming there's only actresses, didn't see one male in the trailer, looks like a reject dance club that decided to make a movie for something different to do. Yeah, you get to suffer through pathetic, choreographed dancing too. Just all around bad. At least some bad movies have attractive bad actors and actresses so you at least get to look at some eye candy while suffering through the movie. Not this one, ugly movie, ugly cast.

I'd say skip it unless you're only other options are foreign films not in English with no CC options. Even then I'd say to succumb to watching this atrocity of a "movie" and just go find something else to do.

P. S. Ok so I'm only 16 mins in and this is so much worse than I expected. How this thing has a almost 2 hour runtime, I don't know if I can make it. So, there's a "PI" she looks like a senior in high school. Most PI's are older, trained ex or retired law enforcement. It's like they're trying to do some Nancy Drew mystery or something. Oh it's just so terrible and not believable what so ever.

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.

The plot line actually was pretty good...without giving it away just in case someone decides to give it a go....after doing a weird dance in a weird location, weird things happen....or so says the latest viral video craze.

However, the whole movie appears to have had the budget of your average high school kids TikTok video production. And it really would have been so much better if they made this a three minute short film ( ok, maybe a 30 minute film).

Blair Witch had a bigger budget and they just ran around in the woods for three days with hand held cameras. Hard to make something appear cheaper than that, but this movie succeeded ( and I liked and admired Blair Witch). This movie actually stole footage from Blair Witch ( or tried to ) and also used the by now way too over used creepy pot holders hanging from trees that is no longer scary anymore, just funny.

The acting and the editing were just plain awful and I do believe there was a scene where the camera man was running around in the back ground. Probably the highlight of the whole movie.

There was originality to be found but it just missed the mark on too many levels to even be worth the entertainment of watching it at all.

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.
