Review

By: Tex Massacre

Shame on you! Just when you thought undead cinema had seen it all. From nights and days and lands and dawns, with rage, returns and even raves if you think you ve seen every manner of battle against the forces of the walking dead, think again. And prepare yourself for the ultimate in titillating terror...it s Zombies vs. Strippers!

Writer Anthony Giordano and Director Jason Murphy might not have titled their film Zombies vs. Strippers but no-matter, the poster art declares that plot point in no uncertain terms. Actually, the films working title was Crack Whore Zombies which misses the none-to-subtle joy of the current moniker, but provides a useful descriptive for the genesis of the productions cannibal cast.

So, what s in a name? Well, in this case it s all pretty damn obvious...Brain-munching, bloodlusting, zombie bastards!

It s a real case of girls gone wild when a prostitute turns ravenous after scoring some contaminated crack and starts chomping hookers and johns by the boat-load. Before long it s a barrage of flesh-feasting madness outside the local gentleman s club. Holed up inside, a trio of sexy strippers Dakota (FHM model Jessica Barton), Dallas (Former Mrs. Oahu Lyanna Tumaneng) and Harley (Hollie Winnard from TV s Beauty and the Geek) along with an assorted cast of characters are forced to not only deal with each other, but also the growing zombie contingent smashing against their barricaded doors.

In the wake of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, the independent horror scene has certainly seen its fair share of Zomedies . Most of these ill-conceived projects suffer the same humiliation as Harley s character in the film: On the event of her first dance of the night, the painfully unprepared Harley is pelted with quarters from an old man in the audience. Impossible to catch loose change in mid-flight, eventually one of the quarters simply sticks to Harley s exposed chest.

This laugh-out-loud moment in the film very nearly defines the problem that exists within the sub-genre. Most of the guys making these types of movies are so caught-up with the comedy that they neglect the horror and wind up tossing joke-after-joke up on the screen, hoping like hell that something will stick. Giordano and Murphy also whip a few too many jokes in periodically too short a succession. But, overall the tone is spot-on, and more importantly, funny to boot making ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! still sanguinary, and more in tone with the cheekier genre elements that made John Gulager s FEAST such a festive feral romp.

Look...I ve seen a lot of the so called new breed of zombie-comedy and I can tell you that rarely do filmmakers pull it off. Horror-comedy seems to be the de facto stomping ground for Indie filmmakers. The box office failure of films like SLITHER and BEHIND THE MASK only proves prescient for the future of the sub-genre. But, if more low-budget mavericks like the crew behind ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! could keep putting out quality product like this, than perhaps those of us who see the humor in hacked off limbs might start to turn the tide. ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! might not be the best the genre has to offer but in a category where far too many first-time feature filmmakers fail to hit the mark, Anthony Giordano, Jason Murphy and their bevy of beauties manage to give us an entertaining movie despite increasingly bleak odds.

Score: 7 / 10

3.0 out of 5 stars "Send more blood-soaked babes!", September 14, 2008

By	Victor Spoils (Santa ana, ca) - See all my reviews

I'm rating this movie at three stars because of audio problems. Volume dips down in some areas, nothing more. Otherwise! I loved this movie! This film is great fun. Don't expect great acting. At best it's below average. But thats okay, it works for this film. Besides there are plenty of blood-soaked babes running and bouncing around to keep you glued to your seat. I loved this movie. I want to see a Stippers VS Zombies II with higher production value!

3.0 out of 5 stars Worthy film to view but flawed, October 27, 2008

By	Philip C. Perron "Philip" (New England, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now here is a film that was highly anticipated for months by many the horror fan and zombie fan alike. Okay, the topic alone, strippers and zombies, is pure fluff for the gratuitous B-movie blood-and-boobs crowd (the B&B crowd). So if you like 1970's exploitation cinema or today's popcorn horror, you must be saying to yourself that you have to see this. So let's talk about the film.

The movie takes place around a gentleman's club right at the closing. As one would figure, the film's characters are either bouncers or exotic dancers. With a few setup scenes, we are brought to understand that an amoral scientist at a private/government facility has a connection with a small time suburban drug dealer. The dealer, a swarmy overweight man, steals some experimental drugs while the scientist retrieves a fix for the man. Eventually the dealer hooks up with a streetwalker and shares the experimental drug with her resulting in the beginning of a zombie outbreak (in the likes of 28 Days Later). Since the streetwalker and her friends hang out waiting for johns at the gentleman's club, the epicenter of the outbreak is the parking lot of the club itself. So far, so good, right?

Well, this film could have been great for its genre. Unfortunately it takes itself for what it is rather than trying to play out as a true horror or true exploitation film. I'm as big a fan of horror comedy as anyone but the issue here is that there were too many characters that were true caricatures and obviously written to be that. In most horror-comedies, the main protagonists are unaware that they are in such a film (i.e. Shaun of the Dead, Evil Dead 2, Feast, Dance of the Dead, etc.). Here, however, we get a few characters that just don't work (specifically the pimp character and his main girlfriend). As a result, we get a fun and entertaining film but ultimately a film that unrealized its potential. Being a zombie stripper film, one would think that their would be a lot of blood and boobs. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The gore will satisfy the B&B crowd but the boobs are few for such a film.

All in all, the film gets 3 stars. There were a few standout performances especially Jessica Barton and many of the actors in smaller roles (such as the drug dealer, the main streetwalker, the DJ, and the scientist). The screenplay was worthy with constant zombie and guts action, and the film had good set pieces. The unrealized potential of the film, however, is unfortunate since this film could have been a cult classic; a true blood-and-boobs classic. Instead, we only get a popcorn film to enjoy.

The DVD deserves mention as a standout. The extras and documentaries were great. The people behind this film, the writer and director, have great futures ahead of them. And don't forget the cameo by Tiffany Shepis in a pre-credit five minute scene at the beginning of the film. As always, she was great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very fun, low-budget shlock horror, October 22, 2008

By	Anthony Pittore "On the Pedestal" (Behind You) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After a mishap with a new drug, the experiment's subjects (aka 'victims') turn into ravenous flesh-eating zombies. Locked up in a strip club, a group of exotic dancers must fight for their lives against the horde of undead or fall victim to the infectious bite of the rotting ghouls.

Rookie director Jason Murphy brings another installment in the 'Undead Exotic Dancer' subsubgenre (being released just before Zombie Strippers! (2008)) with his film Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!. While I wasn't such a fan of the mildly entertaining Zombie Strippers!, I thought I would give this one a look to help viewers choose which Naked Flesheaters (title for the next one?) were more worth the watch. When it comes down to it, this film doesn't have to work very hard to please me. Horror-comedies make up a good amount of my favourite films (from Freaked to Shaun of the Dead, I'll take 'em all). Toss in zombies (the best subgenre in horror) and naked, blood-soaked women and you've got it made. Zombie Strippers! failed, for me, because it tried too hard without the ability to attain what it wanted to be. Had it simply take itself less seriously, it would've been more enjoyable. Luckily, Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! knew how to take itself for what it was: A fun, light-hearted zombie romp through a gentleman's club. The opening scene alone, while not technically part of the film itself, is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a horror film. It ranks up there with Nic Cage in a bear costume (though this one was intentionally hilarious). As a $200,000 budget would suggest, there are some pretty obvious problems. Most notably, the audio/video quality is very cheap. The sound ranges from ear-piercing to muffled and can get annoying. Also, the cheap shot-on-video look is something that has been putting off a lot of horror fans from modern low-budget cinema. It's something that needs to be looked past, however, in order to enjoy a film like this. It is helped, however, that the poor video quality is showing someone like Lyanna Tumaneng (who plays Dallas Skye). Beyond the a/v problems, the rest of the problems of low-budget filmmaking show, but the filmmakers knew how to utilize them in a way that makes them funny enough to laugh WITH instead of laugh AT. That's really what makes the film worth it. . . it knows it's bad, and it takes advantage of that. If cheesy schlock isn't for you, then neither is this film.

Final verdict: 5.5/10 - Averaged from an 8/10 for entertainment and a 3/10 as a film.
