Murder-Rock: Dancing Death (Murderock - Uccide a passo di danza)

Not as bonkers as The Devil's Honey but close. The Flashdance sequence is classic because it is basically a sleazed up version of the Jennifer Beals dance. And I love Keith Emerson but the guy was a prog-rocker. He has no business scoring a dance/disco soundtrack. And…

🎵 🎤 Are the streets to blame, do you plead insane? Paranoia’s comin’ your way! 🎶 🎸 - the best song you’ll ever hear in a giallo, period. I was going to move on to the next Paranormal Activity movie, but it’s been a pretty super low key day of mostly sleeping and I’m…

I love 80's Fulci so much. His 70's output was definitely classy and groundbreaking, but this era is when he's just setting fire to the screen. Murder Rock is his Giallo set in the world of dance so right away you know this is going to be ridiculous. While tamer on the…

Fulci's splatter-free return to the giallo plots of his 70s work may disappoint viewers expecting a straight-ahead slasher where the grue flies, but for fans of LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN this is Fulci at his stylish best. He crafts a convoluted murder mystery (that you'll…

Flashdance inspired eighties Giallo from Lucio Fulci. A steamy mix of dancing and death, overlaid with one of the most ridiculous pop soundtracks you're ever likely to hear. The plot is pretty standard stuff as we focus on a dance school where girls are being picked off -…

Watched the Vinegar Syndrome UHD 4K Blu-ray. "Murder-Rock: Dancing Death" was originally intended as the first entry in a music-themed horror trilogy by Italian maestro Lucio Fulci. The other planned titles were "Killer Samba" and "Thrilling Blues", but due to Fulci’s…

It’s hard for me not to enjoy a film where the climax combines the set design of William Baldwin’s “tv room” in Sliver, the flash and sound effect of an old school camera going off (a’la The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and the psychological mumbo-jumbo of Psycho’s medical…
