Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!

27 reviews
5/10

Below par FX with above average writing.

I'll make this short and sweet.

People that gave this 1 star need to watch more movies.

That being said, this is an average low-budget flick. The special effects are below par, relying heavily on very poor CGI, especially towards the end. There are some decent "low-tech" effects scattered throughout.

Also, it is shot in HD and not on film, which only makes it look cheaper.

The acting is a mixed bag with some really good acting and some really bad acting, but mostly the acting is average.

The writing is quite good, which is refreshing for a low-budget zombie movie. It seems like the writers actually bothered to come up with some plot twists of their own, which is uncommon for the ridiculously derivative zombie genre. Even if some of their ideas didn't pan out so well in the film, they still get points for not just puking out the same mind-numbing crap you usually get with these kind of movies.

The characters are well-developed and actually seem like real people.

Overall, worth a rent if you have some time to kill, but I wouldn't buy it.

Not unwatchable...but not that good either

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

Strippers vs Zombies. What, you need more info than that?

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.

Don't be fooled

Just another low budget, boring, movie. You know, I'm not against low budget or indie films, far from it. But when people put together trash like this with horrible effects, bad acting, and painful dialog...no amount of boobies can cover for it.

It's actually a little insulting to throw together crap like this and expect people to enjoy it because you included strippers. As if you think the public doesn't have enough common sense to know a bad movie because you put attractive women on the screen. Zombie Strippers didn't have a huge budget but that movie was funny at least, and it had way more nudity. All the people giving this a high rating are included in the production or are friends. I would tell you the plot but there's none to be had...after the first few minutes I couldn't stand it anymore and scanned through the rest of the movie looking to see if there was something exciting or interesting to look forward to. There wasn't.

As a class project in college...this would have been acceptable. But to put this out for sale of any kind is a rip-off. The people involved should be ashamed of themselves.

Worth a chuckle for $5.

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.

Funny and decent low budget flick

I love zombie movies and they are always hit or miss. This one started out as a miss, but quickly turned into a decent movie. Good production unlike most, and understandable sound. Too many of these low budget releases try to use the camera mic for the dialog and fail. It is full of funny lines, reoccurring jokes, and references to other films. Some of the acting is stronger than others - but for the most part is a little wooden in the delivery. The main characters do a decent job delivering. The visuals range from weak to funny to decent. Overall if you don't expect something that changes your life, it's worth watching. And if nothing else, pretty girls to watch (however some of the worst fx are the plastic surgeries on some).

Humor, Sexy Women and Plentiful Special Effects

For a low-budget "zom-com" (zombie-comedy), this film wasn't too bad. Essentially, a chemist is experimenting with a cure for cancer, and an acquaintance of his, who happens to be a drug dealer, picks it up thinking it is a form of meth. One thing leads to another, and soon he and some prostitutes become flesh-eating zombies trying to get into a strip club to satisfy their hunger. Naturally, the strippers and a few others try to fight them off as best they can. Anyway, having given a brief outline of the plot, allow me to say that there were a few humorous parts here and there. There was also quite a bit of gore, along with a more straightforward storyline than I expected. Additionally, there were some attractive women, most notably Lyanna Tumaneng (as "Dallas"), Jessica Barton ("Dakota"), and Juliet Reeves ("Pandora"). Essentially, what this film offers is a little humor, sexy women, and plentiful special effects. Unfortunately, the acting simply wasn't good enough to differentiate this film from a host of other low-budget zombie comedies that are currently flooding the market. Because of that, I have rated it as slightly below average.

Bad-but not the worst

This movie is bad-painfully so. Writing, acting, the whole nine yards is bad. Which is EXACTLY why I watched this movie! The sparse nudity is not enough to carry you through this stinky piece of cheese. I have to admit that characters are developed enough so you actually get concerned with a few of their fates, but this is a multi-tasker-you can do something else while watching it and not miss anything. I would recommend watching this with friends. Get some popcorn and a group and let the comments fly. Almost everything in this movie has been done before, so there really are no surprises. That is the problem for new zombie movie directors and writers, they need to come up with a hook to spin the 'accepted' lore to create new interest.

Lives up to the title

Yep, there are a lot of zombies for a "Z" movie of this nature.

There is a nice start to the movie, which I liked and I was impressed with the fact the movie does not take itself seriously. At all. Also an interesting mid-credit scene at the end.

The effects are okay (without being spectacular), as is the humour.

The acting is variable, going from "just about okay" to "eh?" This does remove most of the spook effect from the "jump" scenes. But overall the acting didn't destroy the movie.

Recommended for aficionados of "infection" movies.

I liked it...

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.

Zombies? Zombies!? ZOMBIES!???

This had absolutely everything you could want from a low budget slasher flick, but still managed to be completely awful. That aside, the laugh factor was surprisingly high and the gore FX attempts were admirable. I'm not sure if the actors here are just "friends" of the director, even most stars act better than the girls playing the strippers in this movie. I'm gonna say avoid this one.

I forgot to laugh

Stated as a zombedy (zombie and comedy). But I didn't laugh, really maybe on wrinkle on the left corner of my mouth. I won't spoil to many on this turkey. Okay, there is a lot of juggs on view, even pierced ones, and from A-cups to the over-sized US fake ones, but then again, it was gratuitous. It had nothing to do with the storyline. Yeah yeah, it is an attack in a strip club called Grindhouse so you know that nudity will play a big role but what really went wrong is the acting, it is really terrible. And again, I know that they should play dumb, especially the blond ones but it is over the top. Secondly being a low budget you have to deal with the gore and the effects. Sadly most of them is CGI and the kind you can buy at 1£ shops. Even when they are fighting you can see that they don't hit their victims. And overall it's a bit too much blah blah. I am digging zombie flicks as my favorite flicks but this here, man. Go look at "Doghouse" or "Lesbian Vampire Killers", there you have a laugh but maybe I'm more into UK humor than US humor. Go figure it out for yourselves...

Ehhh. It was OK, I guess

ZZZ isn't the worst low budget movie ever made, by a long shot. But that doesn't mean it's good. There's plot holes galore, awful special effects, and a wooden plot line. And who knew blood could be bright pink?

The actors, for the most part, actually seem quite competent, and do their best to make this movie entertaining- making the best of a bad situation, as it were. However, the characters have no depth, and as a viewer I didn't really care whether they lived or died. Or got eaten.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend actively looking to watch this movie, but if it happens to be on, by all means watch it for a few laughs.

Greatest Zombie Movie EVER!!

Apocalypse When? Dawn of the What? Who Cares?! Z!Z!Z! is the apotheosis of the Zombie genre. This is what Zombie movies were meant to be. Brave, beautiful women, terrorized past their abilities to keep their clothing on! Big Guns! Pimps! Strange glowing substances! Snubbes at the Cannes Film festival (be careful what you say in elevators; you never know who's little sister is right behind you), the film garnered huge awards at the Florida Freakshow Film Festival. It's got everything you ever wanted, but were afraid to ask for because someone you know might see you in line buying it. Look for cameos by people who will one day be famous. Enjoy this film!

Low Budget...some bad reviews...but I liked it!

I had read a few negative reviews about this movie, so maybe I wasn't expecting much...but I liked it. From reading the Horror sites, I already knew that this was made by some first-time filmmakers, horror fans, who had funded the entire movie on their personal credit cards...so i was interested to see how bad it was going to be.

To my surprise, I actually thought they did a pretty good job considering the ultra-low budget. It is slow to get started, it's shot on HD not film, some of the acting is a little stiff, and a lot of the fx are kinda cheesy...but I have seen some really craptastic low-budget movies in my day, and this one actually comes out as much more professional than most.

The budget is apparent with things like fx and production quality, but the filmmakers seemed to really put a lot of thought and work into the story and characters. The girls are smoking hot playboy models, and the comedy is...well, actually pretty funny, which is rare in most self proclaimed horror-comedy movies.

Anyway, to sum it up...if you are expecting a Hollywood grade movie...you will be sadly disappointed, and probably hate the movie. But, if you are a fan of low-budget horror, get the jokes, and support horror fans that have the guts to risk their own money to make a movie...then this may be a treat for you. And if you are a wanna-be filmmaker, you will definitely enjoy the making of stuff in the special features...maybe even more than the movie itself.

With a title like this, it was as fun as it should be.

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!

When strippers go BAD

Strippers vs. Zombies

So the movie had a different title (one that had a drug and a different word for prostitutes in it), but the filmmakers got told that it would not be commercial. So the filler title we now have as the actual title originated. And while this is not a classic by a long shot, it does exactly what it sets out to do: entertain to a certain level.

There is nudity and there is a lot of blood. Again this is low budget, so even the effects are very on the nose. If you don't mind that and can have a laugh while not being overly offended by everything, this can be an entertaining ride you can take - the filmmakers themselves make fun of the whole thing, if you listen to the audio commentary. They had a blast, why shouldn't you?

Not bad at all but I didn't see any comedy....

I just watch this yesterday after bought the DVD 2 days ago. I was so excited to see this movie since I'm a horror maniac & curious to see how those chicks deals with the zombies. OK, judging from the script, the story is fine but the glitch is I didn't see any comedy stuff in this film. Almost everything were familiar like other zombie movies, it resembles to Night of the living dead in the scene of Dallas & Chris getting away from zombies to find some help, & Dawn of the dead in the scene of hiding themself into the night club(mall in DOTD). What I really like is the scene of the stripper's dancing & the strippers fighting with the zombies. That is freak'n awesome especially Jessica Barton, she's too damn hot in this film. But too bad her role is too minor when fighting with the zombies imo... As for the CGI & the effects I'll be honest that they were poorly made especially the blood which looks exactly like strawberry jam, some stabbed zombie, & some zombie explosion. Well, I guess that's all I can say 'bout this movie but my personal thought is I'd really expecting some sequel that shown more of Jessica Barton's acting, because I really like her. & as long as she's there, who cares if the movie would be low budget or terribly made.
