Shadow Dancing, also known as La bailarina Venezuelais, is a 1988 thriller shot in Toronto, Canada.
Plot
Jess is a struggling dancer trying to land a dream role in musical about Medusa. As she practices, the director, who has been haunted for decades by the memory of his former dancer and lover, notices how much she resembles his former lover. The ballerina had died in a bizarre on-stage accident 50 years ago while performing exactly the same dance that Jess is doing. As Jesse becomes more obsessed with winning the part she slowly takes on the physical and emotional characteristics of the woman. Eerily, as more unexplainable coincidences continue to surround the production making you wonder if someone or something is behind it all.

To this day, the film has never been released on DVD and as of January 27, 2010, there have been no current plans to release the film onto DVD.
