Fetish Factory

Working in a high-class cabaret act, a group of women are determined to play true to the old-school ideals of the profession for their customers, and as they go about their nightly routine as normal they are suddenly attacked by a swarm of zombies forcing them to try to survive the creatures.

Overall, this was a fairly fun throwback effort. One of the better features here is the gleefully old-school setup and approach that allows this to wallow in the kind of charmingly cheesy atmosphere present. The whole concept of the Cabaret showcase being playfully erotic without being outright sleazy means that it manages to go through the numerous instances of getting the women into various stages of skimpy clothing or undergoing ornate costume changes while keeping a classy and respectful vibe throughout, which is a great touch. Despite getting the girls backstage changing into their outfits or out on stage performing routines for their fans, the idea that it never crosses the boundary into more overt territory makes this one incredibly fun with the antics of the dancers in this environment starting incredibly well. While this works nicely, the genre aspects here are a bit hit-or-miss. The main scenes of them invading the cabaret club and attacking the girls while trying to perform their routines and sexual indulgences on customers makes for a strong enough idea that it does have some fun moments of the group getting swarmed and ambushed. Given that there's some decent enough gore and action here to make it somewhat entertaining, this is also done quite late into the film with only brief bits of the creatures advancing to help give it the tone and appearance of a genre effort. As this also sets up the somewhat bizarre finale where far too many victims are left alive, the whole thing is dismissed with an air of indifference that makes everything feel less imposing than it should've been, and the outcome of the survivors is dependent on a nonsensical twist, it does have some minor issues.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Rarely have I seen a movie that teases the viewer as much as this one. The movie is strangely careful about pushing the envelope as far as it can without directly showing nudity. Some of the burlesque scenes are worth watching. The horror side of it is rather flat.

Absolutely a low budget movie. Acting is absolutely top of the shelf, but at the same time I have also seen worse. Story is relaxed and the movie does not really take itself serious. They do unfortunately have some sound troubles where some voices are hard to hear.

No real nudity but you do see a lot of skin. It is not a movie for everyone though. But maybe if you are to zombie movies and don't mind low budget and crazy story it can be your movie.

Not all parts of the movie was interesting but I have seen a lot of Hollywood blockbusters that offered far less than this movie. I found the movie okay and short so it did not outstay its welcome :-)

WORST EVER! I AM ZOMBIE MOVIE LOVER AND THIS DIDN'T EVEN QUALIFY. I BET A MILLION PENNIES I COULD ACT BETTER AND I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL. A BUNCH OF MEN REALLY WELL GO TO A FETISH FACTORY TO WATCH CARD TRICKS, BANDS, AND A VENTRILOQUIST. PLEASE!

Looking like it was shot on a cheap camcorder, and sounding like the dialog was recorded by the camera's mic, the dialog audio swaps around with nearly every cut, making it hard to follow anything the actors say. The burlesque performances have a look like there was no music playing in the room for them to work off of. A student theater group with a smart phone and some LED Panels could probably do better,. I feel a swell of sorrow for the poor soul that had to try and soundmix this film. Even if you're a die-hard Burlesque fan, you'd be better off going to see a local performance then sitting through this one.
