Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!

No major surprises here; Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is a standard Z movie containing the predictable assortment of Z-list cleavages and jawlines that you'll never see again, chewing their way though a script sewn together from pieces torn from the corpses of dead movies.

There's (almost) nothing original about this movie, although it does at least make an attempt to develop some characters before the Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! mercifully appear and start chowing down on the protagonists. Unfortunately, the cast and writing are so anodyne and untalented that it's largely futile and wasted effort. The FX are what we've come to expect from straight to DVD films - token prosthetics and budget-bound CGI.

It's not all bad though. The strippers are attractive enough in a plastic casting couch kind of way, and they get their funbags out and jiggle them around a contractual once each during the movie. While the cast don't seem to be having much fun making it, they're not actively annoying, and there are a few - a very few - genuinely well realised moments. The cinematography and score are also competent, although the lighting is very basic.

If "strippers vs zombies" is your thing, then you'll get what you came for. With a few beers, you might even enjoy it.

I picked this up for about $5 and it was almost worth it. Pay more and I think you'll be pretty disappointed.

I was expecting cheesy and hoping for a laugh or two in the company of some hot babes, kinda like Lesbian Vampire Killers just with Zombies, but it was more like Land of the Dead with Jam for blood. I wouldn't really call it funny, but I chuckled a bit and had a few laughs at the movie.

It's about on par with a very good school play, but in the hands of professionals I think it could have been a pretty good show.. It's clearly budget, but the writing is okay. They could even keep the actors if they got some pros behind the cameras, sound, efx and cgi, because that part really sucked..

The jingle almost ruined it at the beginning, but there is practically no music, not even for atmosphere or building up tension, in it. I guess, that's a actually a good thing in light of the really poor technical side of it; it could have been much worse.

If you're looking for the next Citizen Kane then you're looking in the wrong place. News Flash: It's a zombie horror film complete with all the expected things that make a zombie movie. The good thing about this film is that it's laced with some genuinely funny moments that make fun of the zombie clichés.

The special effects are better than average for a low budget film. Anthony Headen as Johnny Vegas plays a pimp to the extreme and sets the tone for many of the scenes. Sure, the character is a bit over-the-top but this is as much a comedy as it is a horror film.

Sit back and enjoy. It's a lot of fun! And stay through the credits. The best scene is the last scene!

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is newcomer Jason Murphy's debut film, and taking that into account, it is not too bad. However, amidst the recent slew of low-budget horror (and especially low-budget zombie horror), this is rather weak for a number of reasons. For one, this is a case of not knowing how to balance two different genres in the one movie. This is no doubt a difficult task to master, but when done right, can make for an immensely entertaining experience. The Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead and Re-Animator both blended horror and comedy very well into the one movie. This film also tries this, but fails rather miserable. Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is not at all scary, and only amusing thanks to the surprisingly good acting from a mostly unknown cast.

The story behind the zombie outbreak in this film is quickly explained and rather funny. Simply, a scientist is in the process of experimenting with regenerating cells, when a dopey pothead comes around to get some quality drug. For some reason, this guy mixes the scientist's concoctions and creates some new drug which turns people into zombies. Eventually, a group of strippers, prostitutes, their friends and a pimp are all holed up in a strip club fending off against a horde of the undead.

No, the plot is not award winning, but it suits this no-budget movie. The script is rather funny, but lacks a fast pace or any good shock moments. There is not a lot of gore on offer surprisingly for a zombie flick, although there are some neat gags. The use of CGI is rather dodgy, as none of it looks convincing. Also, oddly enough, for a movie set in a strip club and whose main characters are strippers, there is very little nudity.

Anyway, this is a decent enough effort that is marred by a few glaring issues. 2/5

Okay, okay... For those zombie movie purists appalled by this film, what did you expect with a tag line of "strippers vs. zombies"? Do you read the box BEFORE you rent movies? I'll bet you also pour out a glass of clotted milk after having noticed that it was expired, drink it, and then complain that it was bad.

As far a plots go, this movie had a hell of a lot better plot than a lot of classic cult films. The characters were as well developed as you could expect and the actors performed admirably. Poor special effects are to be expected with a plot line like this and I would have been disappointed if the FX were outstanding.

This is movie is great for those who appreciate cheesy movies. My final unsolicited advice to those who delight in expressing their distaste would be to RTFB before you rent. In so doing, you will protect your finely honed sensibilities and we won't have to read your whining, mewling reviews.
