Zombies Vs. Strippers

This is yet another full moon picture, I still think this was a tiny improvement on The Dead want women.

This could have been a lot more funny then it was, well, it did make me laugh twice.

The rest of the jokes, felt way to forced and they lost all the funniest even before the jokes ended.

For a zombie movie, it wasn't as gory as I thought it would be , the zombies make up effects were really bad.

The first half hour was very boring,

The acting is not good at all but it's not unwatchable.

2 out of 10

Hot chicks and bloody carnage, what more could you want? I hear people all the time say that Zombies Vs. Strippers just ripped off that Robert Englund movie Zombie Strippers, but honestly I thought Zombie Strippers took itself way too serious. Zombie vs. Strippers starts off goofy and doesn't let up. You go into this wanting blood, babes, badassness and that is what you get. This is good old-fashion cheesy zombie horror. Also, I thought that Circus-Szalewski, who plays the owner of the strip club does an amazing job. Do I need to explain the plot? It's Zombie Vs. Strippers, it's simple bloody horror at its finest. Plus, there's plenty of boobs and you can't go wrong with that.

So this is what our species have come to. To be honest, it's not terrible, but it's just boring. The main cast and zombies aren't interesting at all, the locations are dark and forgettable, and the plot essentially goes nowhere. Again, it's not the worst, it's just bland and forgettable, and that's saying something for a Full Moon picture. The good parts? Well, there's a guy with a pig nose and a few decent jokes. So I guess if you want to watch this movie, be my guest.

Is there any worse setting for a movie, regardless of the genre, than a strip joint? Even more so with horror movies. You would think that movies involving strippers would be titillating, but they never are. In horror movies you need space to run, to hide, to kill. A horror movie confined to a tiny strip joint is a disaster. And so it is here.

We meet some strippers who work at a minuscule strip joint when the zombie apocalypse breaks out. Also the owner is there, a DJ, a bouncer. They don't know what is going on but for some reason some customers sleeping there wake up as zombies. Then various outsiders seek refuge and let the gang known that hell has broken out. They'll try to keep the hordes of zombies from breaking in. One stripper spends her time with some rock guy who shows up. Another one dedicates herself to the bouncer. At some point 3 guys from a motorcycle gang show up and things pick up a little bit as these guys known at least how to kill. But the rest there are pretty helpless once the zombies breach the doors.

Unlike other stripper and/vs ..., this one has at least attractive actresses. Eve Mauro, Adriana Sephora, Victoria Levine are very attractive. The latter two spend a good chunk of time topless. Sephora is particularly lovely. Eve Mauro for some reason doesn't show skin and for that reason alone several points have to be deducted from this movie.

But aside from that this movie has very little going for it. There are 2 or 3 decent gory scenes. The setting as mentioned is too small and lighting is too dark. Acting by some people is good by others isn't. Given the confined setting there's not much you can do in terms of story. And the crew here sure didn't have any ideas. Don't expect any stripper routines either. For some reason there aren't any, which is just as good since pole-acrobatics aren't as interesting as people think.

What is surprising to read is that this movie had an estimated budget of half a million. Where did that money go? It didn't go to the script, effects, sets. I can't imagine these actors got paid all that much. They could have at least paid the lovely Mauro a bit more to take some clothes off.

Aside from the three girls there no reason to watch this.

This movie is one of several films to come out at the same time with the theme of Zombies vs. Strippers, it is also the most directly titled. It also possibly had the most simple story and the lowest budget, and in many ways it succeeds because of this.

While the other examples on the list try to do some weird stuff, (face dance anyone?) the simplistic elements of this story make the film able to use what it has to make a pleasant zombie-horror-watching experience.

Do you want to see people being eaten? Do you want to meet a whole host of survivors who get slaughtered mercilessly throughout the movie? Do you want to see a group of attractive women nearly naked the whole time? Well then this is a movie you will enjoy! (If the answer was no to any of those questions then move along since this film has little else.)
