Zombie Strippers


Zombie Strippers is a 2008 comedy horror film, written and directed by Jay Lee, starring Robert Englund, Jenna Jameson, and Tito Ortiz and distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. It is based on the French existential Theatre of the Absurd play Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco.

The film had its theatrical release on April 18, 2008

Rhino is run by Ian Essko (Robert Englund). A new stripper named Jessy has arrived at the club to save up enough money for her grandmother's operation. She is introduced to the club's star dancer, an intellectual stripper named Kat (Jenna Jameson). Kat does a private dance for Byrdflough, who ends up biting and infecting her. Essko is concerned about losing his best dancer, so he lets her go back on stage as a zombie. To everyone's surprise, Kat is a better and more popular dancer as a zombie than she was as a human.

The other strippers now find themselves faced with the prospect of losing their customers, since the men now prefer zombie strippers instead of human strippers. One by one, the human strippers become zombies, some by choice in order to compete or (in the case of a Goth stripper Lillith played by Roxy Saint) for fun. During private dances, the zombie strippers bite and kill their customers. Essko tries to keep the zombies hidden in a cage in the club's cellar, but eventually, the zombies escape and overrun the club. The strippers fight each other for supremacy, which includes a moment where Kat shoots ping-pong and billiard balls out of her vagina at her opponent.

The remaining humans in the club struggle to survive until the "Z" Squad burst in to destroy the zombies. But they discover that the zombies were allowed to escape by the Bush administration, who hoped that the ensuing zombie plague would distract the population from the war and the economy.

[edit] Critical reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. As of April 25, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 36% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 42 reviews.[1] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 45 out of 100, based on 13 reviews.[2]

A critic from the Los Angeles Times wrote, "'Zombie Strippers' is a B-movie whose ideas and wit set it well above the great unwashed of the genre."[3] While Dennis Harvy of Variety wrote, "A throwback to drive-in days when an outlandishly lurid moniker sometimes gave you all (if not more than) the amusement value of the movie itself, 'Zombie Strippers!' is a one-joke pic that duly delivers on its titular promise to rapidly depleting returns."[4]
