A total hoot for Italian horror novices and superfans alike, The Frida Cinema is jazzed to present Lucio Fulci’s Murder-Rock: Dancing Death!
Nothing is as it seems in this foggy ‘80s world of whiny dance students, backbiting school staff, puzzled cops, handsome strangers, surreal dream sequences, gruesome kills, naughty eroticism and spiraling labyrinthine mystery. Who will live to dance another day?!?!
One of the final horror gems in Fulci’s vast, sleazy filmography (Zombie, The Beyond), Murder-Rock blends Flashdance tropes, upbeat Eurodisco nonsense (courtesy of prog rocker Keith Emerson) and black-gloved slasher thrills into a lavish satisfying stew.
