Dance Macabre is a 1992 American slasher film written and directed by Greydon Clark, and starring Robert Englund, Michelle Zeitlin, Irina Davidoff, and Alexander Sergeyev.
It follows an American dancer at an academy in Saint Petersburg, where a series of murders and disappearances begin taking place.
She meets Alex, a photographer who has been sneaking into the academy to take pictures of Anthony and Gordenko.
Later Jessica finds a girl called Ingrid dancing in the attic and learns that she is addicted to drinking and drugs.
Olga orders Angela to wait in the wings, where the killer hangs her to death from a rafter.
That night Anthony witnesses Alex climbing up to Jessica's room and he starts crying.
Anthony tells Olga that Jessica is the only good dancer left and she should be the one to represent the academy at an upcoming special audition.
Anthony continues to give her lessons to prepare her, dressing her in a brunette wig to resemble Svetlana.
When she enters Gordenko's room she finds her looking sick; she then violently grabs Jessica's arm.
Jessica awakens in bed, and finds a bouquet of roses on her table from Anthony which is addressed to Svetlana.
Gordenko's persona suddenly takes control of his body and forces him up onto one of the balconies to shoot Jessica.
