The Demon's Waltz

source: The Demon's Waltz

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.

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.

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.

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

Where to start. Acting was beyond bad. Girls were not remotely attractive and a couple need to remove their face hair. Filmed on a potato camera A cheep eBay camera from the early 2000s. Story could be fair if someone with a high school education rewrote it and reworked the whole thing. I love low budget horror movies and can get over bad acting most the time but this one was too over the top. The ages of the actors did not mesh with some of their fictional professions. They should have had their parents play the parts for adults, not just grab their friends that looked a bit older. Sometimes films do not deserve the low ratings they get, this one however deserves every 1 star it gets and anything over a 1 star is more than likely shill accounts by these girls mommies and daddies.

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.

Just awful. One of the worst films I have tried to watch.

The Demon's Waltz is way too long. At nearly two hours, I had to hit fast forward through some of the boring scenes. I like bad movies and often seek them out but this one is just mediocre. It needs to be edited and shortened as the film isn't interesting enough to warrent such a long runtime.

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.
