Zombie Strippers (2008)

The Army is experimenting in creating zombie super soldiers, which of course goes horribly wrong when the zombies start to break out of the research facility.  One of the soldiers sent in to wipe out the zombie menace is bitten and then somehow ends up in a strip club.  He abruptly changes into a zombie and rips out the throat of the stripper on stage, Kat (Jenna Jameson, who's movies we don't normally review on this particular site).  Kat soon joins the ranks of the undead and develops super zombie stripper dance moves, which she uses to win over the patrons of the strip club and become the most popular stripper there.  Soon other strippers are choosing to be turned into zombies as well since rotting flesh is the next great aphrodisiac.  The club owner Ian (Robert Englund, better known as Freddy Kruger) is skeptical at first until he sees how much money can be made from the new and improved zombie strippers.  Everything is going fine until the strippers begin eating the strip club patrons and Ian starts having trouble cleaning up the messes and the Armies crack Zombie killing squad shows up.

The hot naked chicks and gore factor almost makes up for the lame plot and writing which wasn't nearly as clever or funny as the writers seemed to think it was.  The special effects are good and there is enough splatter to satisfy most gore-o-piles grisly cravings.  The acting isn't really as bad as I expected though I might have been distracted at certain points.  Did I mention there are cute girls in this movie that take off their clothes?  What about the special effects?  These are really the only two things in this movie worth talking about.  Unfortunately they clash a bit towards the end because, well, zombies rot.  So unless you are into that sort of thing the cute naked girls get less cute throughout the movie (good zombie makeup jobs though).

It's not a must see, but certain aspects (Mmmmm.... Roxy Saint....) make it watchable.  So, if you got nothing better to watch and are in the right mood, give it a try.  Otherwise, don't bother.
