Brillo de Fulci, reminiscencias del gore.
La música intimista que acompaña muy bien a la película es de Keith Emerson (BSO):
Las diferencias que yo he encontrado con esta edición DVD se encuentran al final de la película, en este caso la cita de Jungla de Asfalto "A menudo el delito no es sino una forma distorsionada de empeño humano" aparece en italiano y con una toma fija de la ciudad de Nueva York desde detrás de una verja, mientras que en otras versiones aparece la citación en ingles con la toma de una escena de crimen como fondo:






Hay rips de otras ediciones con cadenas de audio originales en ingles e italiano y muy buena imagen, pero los únicos subtítulos que he encontrado acostumbra a fallar en momentos críticos de la película.

The competition is heating up as a New York dance academy auditions for an upcoming production. When tragedy strikes as one of the lead contenders is found dead. That sparks not only fear, but a series of more killings leaving the competition in shambles and tainted. The police are called into to figure out who the killer is. The production’s curator Candice Norman has a dream or a nightmare of a man she has never met, one that kills her in her dreams. Does this man hold the answers to the series of mysterious killings surrounding the production.
One of the Italian gore maestro’s lesser discussed outings in the early 80's, though none the less just as well executed as some of the more popular examples. Fulci not only had a love for filming in New York, he was also very effect at displaying it in his films. Bringing the exact feel, groove and images of the 80's pop culture raining supreme in the Big Apple during the day. With a funky tipped progressive rock score from Keith Emerson, to his long drawn cinematography exploiting the scenes of New York. MURDER ROCK or in this case under the title of DANCING DEATH is certainly a great example of how good Lucio Fulci was not just at treating us to gore, but to true vibes as well. With the opening scenes inside a dance club, exhibiting young teens dancing in their natural environment. The flashy lights, the music, all a great start to one of Fulci’s later gialli. The one thing Fulci was always able to generate as well, was something odd, very different and against the grain. With MURDER ROCK he combined the traditional giallo with an 80's fade or trend, Flash dancing. At first this does sound like a hot idea, but once you watch this, you’ll change your tune. The usual trademarks that Fulci is most common for, surrounding himself with a great cast, loads of women to kill off. Though the gore is quite tapered down from the norm. With most of the killings geared by displayed in a sexual manner. The killer piercing his victims, most being women in their breasts with small dagger.
This like many Italian genre films, must be watched in it’s original language otherwise the acting seems pretty much silly. It’s a given that not only does the translation for the dubbing is lost somewhat, it also looks quite cheap, in the long run ruining the full effect of the film itself. With this limited edition release from CCI (Germany), there are no English subtitles, only English dubbed with forced German subtitles. So, if you are looking for an English optioned disc for MURDER ROCK, this is not the version to go with. Though the print is nicely restored with a anamorphic wide screen offering of (16:9/1.77:1).
This is only limited to 500 units and there are some nice extras available on this, but again it is geared to those in the German market, or those who speak or understand the language. The special features on this disc are the German trailer, the main soundtrack theme, a bonus scene and photo gallery. Though there are no known cuts from this version, I believe it’s the same with both the Japanese release and with the Media Blasters R1 disc. I would suggest going with the Media Blasters disc for all the extras are subtitled in English. The scary part those is, that disc also has no Italian audio with English subs. Not sure if this film was shot in English, probably not, but you’d think that given all the releases of this not supplying this.
