Zombies vs. Strippers is a 2012 horror-comedy that promises to deliver something unique and offbeat for fans of both zombies and strippers. Directed by Alex Nicolaou and starring the likes of Circus-Szalewski, Eve Mauro, and Victoria Levine, the film takes place in a small, rundown strip club called the Tough Titty. The Tough Titty is a struggling establishment, and its management is desperate to keep the doors open, even if it means resorting to some questionable business practices. When a strange virus infects the patrons and staff of the club, it seems like the end is near. However, the resourceful strippers decide to fight back against the onslaught of undead customers.
The film follows a group of employees at the Tough Titty, including the compassionate and resourceful Spider (Eve Mauro), flamboyant DJ Jonny (Circus-Szalewski), and veteran stripper Vanilla (Victoria Levine). When the zombie outbreak hits the club, the trio bands together with other dancers to defend the club from the undead hordes.
As the zombies overrun the club, the dancers must work together to take down the growing horde while keeping themselves alive. The film boasts some inventive kills involving stiletto heels, makeshift weapons, and other unconventional means. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes power struggles and personal dramas threaten to tear apart the makeshift team of strippers and bouncers.
Zombies vs. Strippers is a tongue-in-cheek homage to both the zombie and exploitation genres. It's an unhinged, over-the-top romp that revels in gore, sex appeal, and absurdity. The film delivers a steady stream of crude jokes, bloody action, and gratuitous nudity.
While the film doesn't take itself too seriously, it does manage to deliver some genuine scares and tension. A number of sequences manage to capture the claustrophobic chaos of the zombie apocalypse, and the film's main characters are surprisingly relatable and sympathetic.
Overall, Zombies vs. Strippers is a fun and entertaining horror-comedy that delivers on its premise. Fans of low-budget exploitation films will find a lot to enjoy here, as will anyone looking for a schlocky, unpretentious zombie flick. It won't win any awards for innovation, but it's a well-crafted and satisfying movie that wears its trashy heart on its sleeve.
