Zombie Strippers! (Cert 18)
Mickey Mcmonagle
I'd happily watch this movie on the strength of the title alone but I'm glad to say the bones of a decent movie lurk behind the best name in years. Porn star Jenna Jameson makes the move to mainstream films seamlessly, revealing a surprisingly deft turn for acting rather than her usual grunting and groaning.
The plot set-up is clever. The American government engineer a secret zombie virus and a soldier becomes infected.
He goes to a strip club and a girl working there is soon undead - which proves a surprising attraction for the local men.
Jameson's undead stripper becomes hugely popular thanks to her ever-more raunchy dances - so much so the other girls are soon asking her to infect them so they can raise their game too.
The target audience - teenage boys - will delight in the stripping scenes while there is enough in terms of plot to keep others interested.
A poor script lets the film down and what could have been a clever black comedy becomes a tired homage to those raunchy old B-movies.
