With a title like Zombie Strippers, I knew I wasn't going to get the best zombie movie ever. But can I get a good film? No? How about an average film? Still no? How about sleazy fun? Can't have that either? How about this isn't the worst film I have ever seen but it is still lame? Ok good...I guess.
The military unleashes (on purpose) a chemical that can turn people into zombies for their own usage in wars. When a soldier who was bitten stumbles into a strip club and infects one of the strippers, her dancing/strip act suddenly becomes much better and brings in the customers. Soon, all the strippers are begging to be zombies and quickly follow in suit. But after awhile, they get hungry and decay starts to set in.
Being a fan of exploitation films, I like many of you, were sucked in based on the title. Also, genre actor Robert Englund was the star. So I crossed my fingers and hoped for something fun. I will say the premise is ok and if only the jokes weren't meant for 5 year olds or liberals (plenty of lazy George Bush jokes which are outdated and unoriginal), maybe this could have been tolerable. The films low budget shows and while the make up effects are pretty good, the actual special effects are entirely CGI and look like you are watching a video game. It doesn't help that the film drags at times and over stays it's welcome, running past the 90 minute mark.
The film doesn't skimp on the gore and when it wasn't CGI, it looked pretty good and nasty. Robert Englund provides the only talent and he's pretty funny as a germaphobe strip club owner. And there are plenty of silicone boobs in this for fans of the fake milkers. But that is the best I can say about this one.
Zombie Strippers isn't the fun and original film is should have been but it isn't a complete piece of shit as it could have been either.
