Thing is, she tends to bite one member of the audience after each performance (and zombify him in the process), but sleazy club owner Ian (Robert Englund) figures she's still good for the business, and he just locks away the zombies in a cage in the basement.<p>With Kat having become such a hit, other girls want to be zombified as well, and soon, Ian threatens his live (as opposed to undead) strippers with firing them. Of course, the zombies in the basement eventually get out and it's getting pretty nasty, but after much mayhem and Kat involved in a zombie-stripper on zombie-stripper catfight, the special squad comes in and resolves the situation ...<p> <p>Obviously taking cues from Tobe Hooper's less than great <b><i><a href="../research/resultserieslinks.shtml?Masters of Horror">Masters of Horror</a></i></b>-episode <b><a href="mastersofhorrordanceofthedead(2005).shtml">Dance of the Dead</a></b> (even starring Robert Englund in a similar role) and Peter Jackson's <b>Braindead</b>, <b>Zombie Strippers</b> is actually pretty funny - but without being nearly as extreme, as biting or as inventive as it could have been: There are attempts at satire, but they don't seem to be necessarily thought through, the violence apart from a few scenes is gross but run-of-the-mill, and the directorial effort is good craftmanship, but it lacks any spark of originality. What remains is a topless Jenna Jameson rapidly turning into a zombie, intentionally ham performances (first and foremost the dependable Robert Englund), racial sereotypes played to their politically incorrect extremes they can't be taken seriously anymore (first and foremost Joey Medina as Mexican cleaner), and jokes that range from ok to pretty good - now this is all better than nothing, and you will be entertained, just don't expect a masterpiece or even a film as offensive as its title might suggest ... <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2009"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
