Blu-ray Review – The Ghost Dance

During the frenzy to make slasher films for a hungry audience, 1982's "The Ghost Dance" tries to bring something a little different to the usual in blood and guts. Co-writers Robert M. Sutton and Peter F. Buffa (who also directs) turn to the Native American community in Arizona for inspiration, attempting to summon some supernatural horror for the effort. "The Ghost Dance" is fairly conventional when it comes to violence, as Buffa arranges numerous stalk-and-kill sequences to keep genre fans happy. More interesting is the filmmaking itself, as the production is mildly attentive to visuals compared to similar endeavors, adding a touch of style and momentum to an offering that needs the occasional boost of cinematic energy to remain engaging.
