Dance of the DamnedNC
Four Films by Katt Shea
Dance of the DamnedNC
Four Films by Katt Shea
82 mins – United States 1989
Director: Katt Shea
Starring: Starr Andreeff, Cyril O’Reilly and Debbie Nassar
A vampire (Cyril O’Reilly) is searching through the late-night streets of Los Angeles, looking for his next victim. He ends up at a run-down strip club and is drawn to Jodi (Starr Andreeff), a dancer on the verge of committing suicide. Together, over the course of the evening, they cross the unspeakable boundaries that separate the living and the undead. After the success of STRIPPED TO KILL, Roger Corman approached Katt Shea to make another film involving exotic dancing. With her creative partner Andy Ruben, they came up with the screenplay for DANCE OF THE DAMNED. Shot briskly in two weeks, the resulting picture has a seductively dreamlike atmosphere with stylish cinematography (by Phedon Papamichael, who would later be nominated for an Academy Award for his work on NEBRASKA), a compelling script, and a winning performance by Andreeff as the distraught heroine.
Shooting at the Speed of Thought – Four Films by Katt Shea
A pioneering female director who started out working on low budget productions for the king of the B’s Roger Corman, Katt Shea made films in this male-dominated world with taut screenplays (which she often co-wrote), snappy dialogue, innovative visuals, thoughtful characterisations and great performances.
