It looks terrible. It doesn't work as camp. It doesn't work as low budget crap.

I stayed to the bitter end out of some romantic sense of professional obligation. Don't make that same mistake!

A one-joke pic that duly delivers on its titular promise to rapidly depleting returns.

Shot on ugly digital video with Troma-grade special effects, campy humor and frighteningly bad acting, Zombie Strippers should provide many laughs for stoners watching it on video.

It barely matters that Zombie Strippers is a tediously overextended satire. It's called Zombie Strippers.

You can say that a man who is tired of zombie movies is tired of life, and the same goes for a man who is tired of movies with strippers in them. (The statement is thus doubly true for someone who is tired of movies with zombies and strippers in them.) Bu

With a hilariously over-the-top B-movie vibe, this nutty gorefest keeps us chuckling all the way through. And underneath the outrageous wackiness, there's some playful thematic wit at work as well.

Enjoyable horror comedy that delivers on the promise of the title, aided by some decent effects and a witty script.

With a budget of perhaps 100, half the movie involves people having their heads ripped off with the rest devoted to porn stars jiggling their plastic boobs before being shot in the head. Someone please shoot me, too.

Jay Lee's wannabe cult flick will draw cackles from forgiving fans of cheap'n'cheesy sexploitation.

Undemanding fans of softcore nudity and hardcore gore will chew it down, but real horror afficionados will crave more meat on the bone.

Proceed directly to the 'S' section of your local video shop and rent Shaun Of The Dead again instead.

A brilliantly high-concept title and some decent gore aside, you're better off watching the version in your head. It will be infinitely more fun and have markedly improved production values.

It's cleverly done with lots of nods to other zombie films. You'll probably catch it on DVD

Zombie horror is always dark, of course, but not always for the same reasons. Here the darkness comes from a sense of humour that adds layers to the standard zombie pre-sets

Here's a title that lives up to its expectations; Jay Lee's schlockingly funny horror flick is filled with inventive ideas and delivers in spades for fans of the genre

Acting is hardly of great consequence in a movie where everyone involved seems a little too in on the joke, as if distancing themselves from material that would simply be vile if it weren't so outrageously over the top.

Over the years I've seen Jenna Jameson do lot of things in a lot of movies, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever seen her reading Nietzsche.

It is a serviceable horror comedy that will ride well on [Jenna] Jameson's name recognition until the gag wears thin...

Audience Reviews for Zombie Strippers

With a plot that harks back to 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and even further back 'Vamp' this is the zombie version of that plot, plenty of sexy strippers that use the local scum for food as they keep their little game under wraps. Afew slight changes with the story envolving the military and escaping viruses (as usual) and a
