About This Movie

Shadow Dancer has this gritty, late-night vibe that lingers. It’s about jealousy, obsession, and how far someone will go to regain a sense of control. The performances are raw—especially the lead, who really captures that unhinged desperation. There’s a tension in the pacing that keeps you on edge, like you’re holding your breath during some of the more intense scenes. It’s interesting how it explores the strippers' world, not just as a backdrop but as a character in itself, shaping their lives and choices. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the overall unsettling atmosphere. Definitely a unique slice of 90s indie film.

Released on DVD in 2005 by Troma Entertainment.Shot in various locations in New York City.Features a mix of original music and period songs.Has a running time of 100 minutes.
