Zombie horror is always dark, of course, but not always for the same reasons. Here the darkness comes from a sense of humour that adds layers to the standard zombie pre-sets

When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is Rhino’s, a hot underground strip club. As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club.

Reviews for Zombie Strippers
Here's a title that lives up to its expectations; Jay Lee's schlockingly funny horror flick is filled with inventive ideas and delivers in spades for fans of the genre
The chicks may be topless, but this horror schlock wears its pretensions on its sleeve.
It's not enough to have the zany canniness of the situations when the energy level is decidedly inert, even as rival zombie strippers duel to the undeath.
That faint thumping noise you hear is Russ Meyer doing donuts in his grave.
By the time the film moves toward its conclusion and the gross-out factor really starts to rise, any semblance of even an exploitation story has fallen away like so many lopped-off limbs.
Needless to say, the misogyny reeks; unexpectedly, the movie's bigotry is almost as ugly.
This is a movie that contains Jenna Jameson shooting billiard balls out of her vagina and characters on an existential quest of self-purpose, who thirst to maintain their voice in a fascist country that squashes free thought to profit from misery. Yikes.
A near-disaster of pacing, tone, and bad acting, Zombie Strippers never lives up to the B-movie promise of its title or even its clever concept.
Call it unintentional-intentional-unintentional humor: Lee presumably believes that he’s satirizing the unintentional laughs inherent in no-budget genre fare, but does so in such a shoddy manner that the audience is laughing at him instead of with him.
With a budget of perhaps £100, half the movie involves people having their heads ripped off with the rest devoted to porn stars jiggling their plastic boobs before being shot in the head. Someone please shoot me, too.
A one-joke pic that duly delivers on its titular promise to rapidly depleting returns.
If you like zombies and you like strippers, than this movie has them both ... and that's about the only good thing that can be said about this awful waste of time.
It's still average schlock, albeit one with a little something for every discerning male; big breasts, fake breasts, heavily pierced breasts, breasts with star pasties and bloody pasty breasts that are the true stars.
It doesn't develop the premise so much as endlessly repeat it...just hopelessly bad.
Proceed directly to the 'S' section of your local video shop and rent Shaun Of The Dead again instead.
