Strippers vs. Zombies: Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! (watched 3/11/09)

Add pimp to the title and then it really would say it all. The synopsis can be read here, but you really don’t need add much else to the title to get the plot. We held a zombie and stripper event for this night (unfortunately not as action packed as we’d hoped) with a double feature of Zombie Strippers. Hands down this was the better movie. Most likely the entire movie was shot in one night, possibly all on the same tape. But it has character, and that’s worth something when you have 10 people to laugh at it. The most memorable character has to be Johnny “Backhand” Vegas the “heroic” pimp that goes around, you guessed it, backhanding all the zombies. Unless you’re a big Emanuelle fan you probably won’t recognize any of the actors, and even if you are you may not. It’s low budget there’s no doubt, and it certainly won’t make any appearances in your Feminist Literature class, however it has all the feel of a couple of peeps who really love the genre creating. Strippers Vs. Zombie has heart, but not that stupid RomCom silly fairy princess heart. Just ask Johnny. If you have the sense of humor and a lively group it’s worth the stab.

Writer’s revelation: I was reading some of the reviews of this moving and people were faulting it for: having pink blood, using the word “strippers” to sell the movie, and an overall low budget. 1)If you have a crappy budget, you have a crappy budget. It’s not your fault. 2)If you’re special effects are going to suck you might as well make them really suck… as in pink blood 3) If you expect a movie to be good because it has Boobs, Strippers, Cocks, or sex in the title… well I’ve got some bad news for you…

Rating: 2.5/5 Backhands
