Peelers

On the final night this strip club's open, the owner gets more than she bargained for. Infected patrons come in for more than naked women, nasty beer and bear which is served on the menu. Besides bear, Peelers serves up a healthy mix of boobs, blood and hilarity. At first glance Peelers seems like another cheap thrills, boob filled, horror film. While all of those things are true, it also successfully pulls off comedy in between it's many kill scenes. Something most movies fail at doing.

With a set-up similar to From Dusk Till Dawn once they get to the bar. The overall pace of the movie is closer to Feast. The comedy is definitely crude and immature and won't be for everyone. If you like John Gulager movies and you're ready for some fun, Peelers packs a lot of enjoyment.

Peelers suffers from the traditional low budget horror condition of bad acting, corny dialogue and a weak premise. Horror fans should expect this from any low budget horror film going in. Where Peelers succeeds is they don't take themselves too seriously.

After a couple of hilarious stripper dance scenes, I was waiting to see what they did with the pregnant stripper. If I have any issue with this cheap thrill ride, it's that I didn't get to see the comedy, that scene would've provided. Opportunity wasted and all for a Winnie the Pooh scene. They lacked contact during their kill scenes as well. They could have used a Tom Savini helping them out but at least they didn't go with enough animated effects for it to ruin anything.

This film has been popping up around horror circles so I'll admit i was intrigued...people who had seen it mentioned that it was kind of like a zombie movie but not, so then I was little less intrigued (i've seen enough zombie movies) but I had the lucky opportunity to see this film at the Shock & Gore fest in Birmingham and it was definitely worth it.

It's not a zombie movie per se. There are some similarities, but these guys put a little twist on the genre and it's a really interesting take on the whole thing. Would love to know if this is a commentary on a certain heated global topic but I don't want to give anything away so I will leave it at that and guess that perhaps the filmmaker is sending out a message maybe thru film. Which is the beauty of filmmaking. You tell a story and reveal a truth now and then. But I digress.

This film has really good pacing. Never once was I bored, nor did I roll my eyes. It kept me engaged at all times and I really loved Wren Walker's performance as the lead. She was smart, caring, funny, tough and vulnerable at the same time, a leader and talented. All the things that make a person, in this particular case, a woman, beautiful.

There are definitely some things (i.e. stripper stunts) that were...interesting to say the least and some really great kills, espeicially for a low budget film.

I'm more of a cricket man myself but the baseball element throughout was a nice touch. Whenever you put little touches of sport in an otherwise non-sport movie, there's something about that that I like. I don't know what it is.

Overall, had a fun time and will definitely look forward to seeing this one again.

Ok, I see this movie attracted a lot of sympathy and I get that. It had some good usage of dark humor, an OK plot, good character development, overall the people involved in the making of this movie did their job right.

Of course it is a low budget horror, so don't expect a masterpiece, it's a zombie movie with some comedy elements blended in, plenty of nudity I'd say, typical deaths on screen and an unexpected ending. In a good way too.

If you dig it, you should definitely try Zombie Strippers, the original stripper zombies, with more dark humor, more blood, nudity and famous actors even porn actresses! That's right! So all in all, if you're fan of the type this one is pretty OK by my standards. Not the biggest admirer out there, so I'll only recommend it for people that know what they're going in!

Cheers!

'Bare'ly watchable exploitative crud. No redeeming features.

In a small town, Blue Jean (Wren Walker) is the owner of a strip club that grieves the death of her boyfriend Lucas. She decided to sell the club and she is promoting a farewell night for clients. Four Mexican workers come to the bar to celebrate the oil they found in a coal mine but they do not feel well. When they go to the restroom, they turn into bizarre creatures. Meanwhile Blue's stepson, the troublemaker Logan (Madison J. Loos), arrives in the bar in a stolen car chased by two police officers. He hides in Blue's office but soon people are attacked by the monsters wreaking havoc on the club. Blue Jean and the other survivors have to fight to destroy the creatures and save their lives.

"Peelers" is a terrible horror film with a storyline that is a sub product of "Zombie Strippers". However "Peelers" is messy B-movie, with a lame and corny story without the necessary humor for this type of film. The last part is awful, with the participation of the guy that bought the strip club. The brilliant deduction of the survivors that the creatures would be affected by water or beer is maybe the dumbest part of this flick. Further, when the viewer expects that this movie has finished, there are other scene in the credits. My vote is three.
