Strip Club Massacre

This film begins with a young woman by the name of "Megan" (Alicia Watson) being fired from her job due to budget cutbacks. If that wasn't bad enough, when she gets back to her apartment, she finds her boyfriend having an affair with her roommate. So, with no job and nowhere to stay, she eventually moves in with a good friend by the name of "Amanda" (Courtney Riggs) and her wealthy boyfriend "Bobby" (Stefan Rollins) until she can get back on her feet again. Naturally, being unemployed and completely broke, she tells them that she intends to look for a job the next morning--at which time Bobby mentions that the strip club he manages needs a waitress. Although Amanda doesn't like the idea of her friend working there, Megan takes the job under the condition that she is allowed to work fully clothed. Bobby agrees and takes her to meet the owner of the strip club "John" (Mark Law) who hires her immediately. What she doesn't realize, however, is just how vicious the dancers there can be when they don't like someone--and Megan quickly becomes one of their primary targets. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those cheap sexploitation films which most viewers would probably do well to avoid. For starters, the video was shaky at times and the audio was often inconsistent between scenes. Likewise, the music and the script were equally bad. But none of these issues compared to the awful special effects thrown in on occasion--with one scene in particular being quite sophomoric. In short, this was not a good film by any measure and, had it not been for the presence of the two gorgeous women mentioned earlier, I would have rated it even lower than I have.

Wow we are in 2017 i cannot believe movies like this are still being made.

It looks like it was shot a la 1990 porno movie, there is no acting in this movie its just people going true dialogues. There is no story, i turned it off after 30 minutes enough was enough for me.

Its sad that horror is always the choice for a starting director, i really hope that he who did this movie does not do anymore, he left is mark on a very very very bad movie.

I don't understand why this little film is so underrated on IMDB. Excellent character development. A very beautiful sophisticated cast. Costuming is outstanding.

The story is well told with tight direction. The plot never drags.

The music track is a mix of familiar and original material, perfectly chosen to support the plot.

The killing sequences are innovative and well executed (pun intended). I will stop short of a spoiler, but the scenes of execution by anal insertation of a crowbar are priceless. The entire contents of the intestines wind up on display.

Unfortunately the sex scenes all seem to be simulated and are not very exciting.

Yes, this is a sexploitation movie. But pretty much the only thing going for this movie is the attractive female lead. Everything else about the movie is pretty bad, and the acting is about on the level you would find in an average porn movie. I do tend to be pretty forgiving about movies like this because I enjoy sincere efforts to make movies with a low budget. I don't even mind the types of shortcuts this type of film necessitates. But this film is mostly just unsatisfying. At its heart it is a basic revenge tale, a woman defeated by her circumstances who is normally docile but gets forced to her limits and pushed into a situation she no longer can tolerate without answering back. The setup for this plot is tolerable and reasonably well done. But as the plot escalates, some of the tension gets lost and the revenge scenario doesn't really satisfy as a culmination of the frustrations and angst suffered by the main character. The revenge part is almost too clearly spelled out and feels sort of transactional - something was missing, like the raw animal savagery of depravity satiated; that feeling just wasn't there. The film doesn't successfully manage tension, expectations, etc like a good horror movie should.

The name 'Bob Clark' suckered me into watching this before I realised it was made after he died... but I have no excuse for sticking it out. Suffice to say that this isn't an offering from the legend of cult film that gave us "Black Christmas" and "Porkys", and it's an unfortunate coincidence that this amateur shares the same name...

There is one positive, though; if you're an aspiring film-maker struggling to keep the faith, then check it out to boost your morale - if this can get released, then ANYTHING can!
