Stripperland

Stripperland (2011) is a Zombieland parody that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a virus that's turns women into strippers and eventually into zombies. A group of survivors band together to find other survivors and resources in hopes of not getting turned into zombie food.

This movie is directed by Sean Skelding (I Am Virgin) and stars Linnea Quigley (Night of the Demons), Daniel Baldwin (Vampires), Maren McGuire (Damaged Goods), Boyd Banks (Dawn of the Dead), Lloyd Kaufman (The Final Countdown) and Thom Bray (Prince of Darkness).

I will give the production team credit for finding a narrator and actor that closely resembled and sounded like Jesse Eisenberg from Zombieland...and he was even more annoying. The kills in this, especially the tearing flesh, was well executed. The gore and blood splatter really isn't bad. The Baldwin music video was awful and painful to watch. The guy they picked to play Woody wasn't it. The soundtrack also isn't bad. Oh, and there isn't much nudity in this that you may expect based on the title.

Overall, this isn't the worst parody you'll ever see. I would score this a 4/10 but still recommend seeing it once.

There's very little to be gained from parodying a film that was essentially a parody in the first place, which is why Stripperland, a pitiful, cheap-assed send up of Zombieland, screams blatant cash-in rather than inventive spoof.

Strip away (pun intended) the dumb gimmick of a world over-run by all-female, sluttily dressed undead, and this IS Zombieland, minus the budget, the decent cast, the cool effects, the witty script, the amusing star cameo, and anything else you can think of that made that particular film such a blast.

What little genuine originality director Sean Skelding does bring to the table is imbecilic in the extreme, and includes such excruciatingly bad ideas as Linnea Quigley leading an army of OAP zombie killers, Thom Bray as a mad doctor intent of turning the zombies into obedient 'retro-wives', and Daniel Baldwin as rapper Double D performing to a crowd of scantily clad, dancing corpses in order to keep them from eating him!

The film's only saving graces are hotties Maren McGuire and Ileana Herrin as sisters Virginia and West, both of whom look great in next to nothing (shame then that for most of the film they remain completely clothed!) plus some enthusiastic old-school splatter (shame also then that the film relies so heavily on crap CGI for many of its effects!).

This review will be short.

About the movie, it is basically a parody of Zombieland but this time the zombies are strippers. It is all in all a good movie with crude humor, nudity, a lot of blood and gore, weird dialogs and some bad acting. It has the same concept, the same search for Twinkie (not exactly Twinkie), the same search for lost family, the same SUV and the same four characters.

If you are only interested in having many laughs with a little or no sense then this movie is for you. I liked this movie because it is sometimes fun to watch pointless movies when you need a change.

This was the only non-vampire movie left (I hate vampire movies) on my AppleTV's horror gallery, so I just had to see it. I regret it now, I have to say. Why does Apple allow amateur movies in? This movie needs plenty of work on the audio. (My $120 cheap'o camera almost does better, even without an external microphone.) It needs plenty of work on the blood splatter effects. They don't look like splatter at all, but rather like something someone put on for "good effect" after plenty of beers. And without knowledge of physics.

The acting is extremely bad, and the nudity is non-existent. And the script... Well, they could need another script. One of the actresses is kinda cute, though. But not cute enough to make this movie valuable.

Dear Apple, please print an "amateur" warning on when you but things like this one my AppleTV. It's not funny, and it would probably not have been approved by Steve if he was still alive.

But of course, this might be a parody of something of which I have no relation whatsoever. If that is the case, some might find it funny. Good for you, then.

Thank you very much - and I say this because this is based on Zombieland - and that is not just losely. Yes so the zombies here are female strippers. Sexist you say? No they talk about it in the movie in a very boring dialog scene, so it is all good.

Now I hope you got the sarcasm, but if not the rating should tell you how I really feel. This was really boring and while I acknowledge this is a low budget movie, the CGI is quite ok. It is painfully obvious, but you shouldn't expect any different. Lloyd Kaufman, whom I really like has a cameo that is not worthy of his comedic talent - and the movie overall is the same ... unfortunately
